even more shocking than the the apparent union of tom cruise and katie holmes is the fact that i may actually get to meet metrosexual french guy (msfg?).
i guess mgfwba talked me up pretty well, seeing as how msfg sent (with appropriate delay) a delightfully witty email offering a solo coffee date, describing himself as the frenetic banana republic shopper (fbrs? i can't decide).
my glee at this turn of events was almost immediately replaced by a vague sense of dread. i have a mild dislike of coffee dates and an intense hatred of blind dates. as some of you may recall, my last attempt at combined coffee-getting and boy-meeting was the unequivocal disaster that was frank lloyd wrong.
adding to my angst about this is the fact that msfg/fbrs undoubtedly speaks better french than me, and may actually speak better english than me. i also have the distinct impression that he dresses way better than me.
talk about preformance anxiety.

if msfg can talk enough to insert himself into ygfwba's (that's your good friend with bad allergies) conversation at banana republic, i think you'll be ok. frank lloyd wrong went badly because frank couldn't keep up a one-sentence conversation. really. if you're not a conversationalist, don't suggest a coffee date. suggest a movie or sporting event or something. but aren't french guys supposed to be good at lounging in cafes?
french people do, in fact, seem to be quite versed in cafe-lounging. in the emails from msfg (which mgfwba has been surreptitiously forwarding to me), i did come upon a rather endearing french-ism: he asked if i would want to get "a coffee," as opposed to just "coffee." maybe that makes the coffee date less painful.
a note to dwtacc: sorry, i still hate scrabble...
