Little big city
I met winning BaltAmour commenter CS yesterday, so she could receive her Sheryl Crow tickets in a timely fashion.I immediately liked her because one, she was as wee as me and she showed fabulous taste in glasses (cute green frames). We chatted for a little bit, in which we discussed dating in Smalltimore. I was reeling a bit from my weekend Smalltimore experience (I got hit on in a Hampden grocery store by the same borderline creepy late-40s man who has hit on me at least once -- perhaps twice -- before), so I perhaps was a little down on the city's small scene.
However, CS dropped a bit of knowledge that kinda brightened my outlook:
Sure, you run the risk of running into people who have dated people you have dated, she said, but you can also, if you're interested in someone, there's also a good liklihood that you can find someone who can give you the dirt on them before you decide to date them.
I like how she thinks.
So, for this week's Friday Five, I'm collecting your Smalltimore stories. Have you met someone through Baltimore's crazy interconnectedness? Found out something grody about a beau? Or can you play 3 degrees of separation between all of your Baltimore pals?
I'll post my favorites on Friday.

As a life long resident I am connected to everyone. If you don't know me, we may be related.
This has helped me to avoid some women. If a certain friend of mine dated him I can' t go there. He's a weirdo so I think they must be looney by association.
In High school a girl introduced me to friend over the phone..I talked to the friend who introduced me to 3 other girls I ended up dating. Later in life I dated my friend from school. 4 dates...all connected by the same friend. I might owe her money or something.

Ok. Ready for this? I started dating my neighbor after both of our marriages ended. His ended because his wife was cheating with a man who also cheated with the same neighbor's sister. After neighbor's sister and neighbor's brother in law split up and neighbor and I split up, because I suspected that he had more than a casual friendship with the ex-wife of the man that his wife was cheating on him with, I had a brief fling with neighbor's ex-brother in law. After all that, I dated a good friend of neighbor's ex-brother-in-law, who dumped me because he was likely still hung up on his ex-girlfriend, who he was still living with and I went to high school with.

I dated a guy and then met his best friend turns out he was a guy I dated three years earlier!
Also met a guy through an online site and was speaking about him to my friend who had met him on another site and another friend of hers and met him too! Same thing happened again with another guy.
