Boy I really know how to ignite a romance...
I got a response back from college friend Jason. Here's the email I received today from him (note: This email has been edited to fit your computer):
"Maybe I'm not getting as old as I thought. Looks like my memory hasn't failed me completely yet. Boy have we got a lot to catch up on. I wish I would have remembered your email address sooner... well... sooner as in before 1 year 5 months and 10 days ago. Remember the girl that you met and talked into actually dating me? Danica? Well, we got married on January 10, 2004....(edited - got a house blah blah blah got a job blah blah blah)
Are you still single? Dating? Looking? Ever get back over this way? Well, I know I could go on and on, so I'll cut it here for now.We're glad we haven't completely lost touch.
Jason and Danica"
Looks like the answer to the question was sort of a)writing to brag about his wonderful life including wife (but no kids, however it sounds like there's potential to name their first girl after me) and sort of c) the friend thing. Ah hah. It's all coming back to me now. I remember convincing this girl Danica to date Jason in order to get his attention redirected to another girl and off of me! And would you look at that? I'm a full-fledged match-maker now! How funny is that?
Attention all single men looking to get married (As if that exists, but just in case): Apparently I am THE GIRL to date just before you find the love of your life. Jason now makes the 3rd guy to date me (or at least go on one date with me) right before he found the girl he asked to marry. Some people's curse is another's charm. The point is, I'll take one for the team and be the sacrificial date so you'll soon find the love of your life after we stop dating. But, I'm only going to extend this offer to those that are good-looking and smart**. Call me.
**This ensures I won't be the "practice wife" anymore because c'mon, first of all, how many guys actually want to get married, and then how many of those are good-looking and smart? (Am I cynical lately or what?)

Looking for a new friend? Call me if you happened to meet and date that one good-looking and smart man. We'll do lunch!
Well I am not very good looking and not smart but I sure wanted to get married. Where were you 19 years ago? I am always just a tad bit late. ;)
Marie Clair/July 2005 has an article on this very subject called "The One Before THE ONE". Some of the nicknames include Gateway Girlfriend (been there), the Last Girlfriend (been there too), The Ultimate Girlfriend (done that). You will have to check it out...you will relate (as most of us do).
Diane Mandy & I think the 3 of us should get together for drinks & some good ole man-bashing.
