How did this happen?

Grr! The best laid plans of mice and men...

I met an incredible woman a week ago today, at the pub quiz across the street from where I am staying. She's fun, elegant, sensual, sexual, and comes with a brain that could carve up steel construction girders. And I'm the biggest chump in the universe for not getting her phone number. So tonight I wander to the pub again like a complete idiot hoping that she will be there for this week's quiz so that this time I won't be a complete imbecile and can take her home.

And then there's my friend who knows everyone in town (which is a difficult proposition when the town is one of 7 million people) and has decided that I need to get laid tonight... and has taken action by ensuring that a certain Miss She's-Just-Exactly-Right-For-You has my photo and will be.... you guessed it...

...at the pub quiz.

*sigh*
*slaps hand to face*

Contacting the friend or the set-up is not possible.
What now?

You have 1 hour to respond. I head to the showers.

Don't go to the pub, go next week to the next quiz. If fate has her way she'll still be there.

Go to the quiz.

If you see Ms. Superbrain go talk to her. If she shows interest, dump Ms She's-Just-Exactly-Right-For-You.

If Ms Superbrain isn't around, enjoy Ms She's-Just-Exactly-Right-For-You.

Wouldn't it be funny if your friend set you up with Ms Superbrain?

Either way.. what do you have to lose?

Your friend setting you up with Ms She's-Just-Exactly-Right-For-You for you doesn't mean you have to get her in your bed.

Either way.. why bet on 1 horse if you can bet on 2?

You are a single guy. Date them both.

BTW - have I mentioned before that I like you avatar?

Thanks, guys. Interesting advice. Not much time to reply... Since my friend and I had talked about the setup before (just not at this time and place), it is sort of a date and it would be uncouth to not show up at all. I would like to date them both, but I will likely have to tell my preferred girl that I am out with someone else right now, but could I make it up to her by taking her to Australia tomorrow or something.

So off I go into adventure!

Crisis averted. Booze, fun, and frolicking were had by all. I will be seeing them both again. *bounce*
