my first "reading"

I've always wanted my future read by a palm reader/fortune teller/prophet/whatever and last night I had my first "reading".

I was at Cafe du Nord to support my friend's band and met several of his friends there. Everyone was pleasant and friendly especially one particular woman. She seemed to know everyone in the group and talked a mile a minute; very high energy and in overdrive..all the time.

Without actually getting to know me or ask me specific questions other than "are you single?" I must have had my "humor me cause I'm a skeptic" game face on because she decided to give me my first reading regarding my future dating life.

She told me that dating is not a numbers game for me (true, only because I exhausted that option last year); that I'm very knowledgeable in a lot of subjects and have a lot of interests hence why I get along with a variety of different people (true); that the reason I get asked out a lot is that I always put myself out there (FALSE! I rarely get asked out despite going out often); that I need to find someone who's quirky (that's just another way of saying "odd, socially inept, and lives in a trailer park with pet rats"); and that I should just enjoy the journey and that person whoever it might be will eventually find me if I stop trying so hard. Did I look desperate?

After her explanation, I suddenly felt like the air was sucked out of my body. It was as though she told me that I'm in a non-categorized group and there's not a single soul out there that would be a decent match and I should look elsewhere like another planet or something but there is hope if I just wait. Oh, and she suggested I spend more time with my girlfriends. Huh? I didn't understand that comment.
