Family Reunion

Finally D comes to me last night:

{D}: Hey Cindy, I have a story for you.
{Cindy} [Thinking]: Sweet! More for my blog!
{D}: So i put an ad on Craig's list to have a "platonic" dinner with someone and i got a ton of responses.
{Cindy curious how the ad read}
{D}: I really hit it off with this one guy and we were talking for two days when he asked me if i was [insert her whole maiden name here]. I was really taken aback and freaked out that he knew that. It turns out he is my cousin once removed. I am totally freaking out.
{Cindy} [Wondering]: Why is she freaking out? i thought the dinner was platonic - what have they been talking about that she would be freaking out?
{D}: It's just so weird, like how did he know that was me?
{Cindy}: Did you give him your name?
{D}: Yes.

At this point, even with the blog, i couldn't listen anymore. I can't tell if she was upset that it was her cousin, upset that he realized that and cancelled dinner, or if she is sad that she lost a new potential client - er, i mean friend. In any regard, she's placing another ad.

People how many times do i have to reiterate that Craig's list is the BEST PLACE EVER to find a companion!
