Valentine's Day - I

It all started when i was g-talking with one of my seniors a day before V-Day. We were chit-chatting, when he told me that he did not have a date to spend the Special evening with. Just for the sake of fun, i suggested the idea of a blind date. He was really excited but at the same time not very optimistic about finding one. So i offered to help him find one...

Later that day, sitting in the Prob-Stat lec, i asked ShatEEE if she wanted to go on a blind date the next day evening... obviously not expecting a "yes". So, after a few seconds of thought when she turned towards me and said,"yes, why not?", i was shocked beyond my wits!
"WHAT??? Really? YOU just said that?"
"Ya... nothing wrong with it? And moreover it's a good opportunity to get to know another person on campus. I could try out something like that!"
"No... nothing wrong with it, but..."

Frankly speaking, i couldn't imagine this happening and i still can't figure out how it actually did.

By the way, let me tell you a few things about the two people concerned...
While i know this senior of mine to be a love-struck puppy and someone who gets along with girls like a house on fire, ShatEEE is exactly the opposite. She hardly gives guys a second thought and is the last person on earth i could think of going out and having dinner with some complete stranger (that too on V-Day evening!)... or atleast that is what i used to think about her and i've got to admit that i have changed my opinion a lot after that day!
Infact i was quite scared that the evening might just turn out to be a big disaster with both of them being highly dissapointed with each other.... I warned both of them about the risks and when they insisted on making things happen, i fixed the time and venue for them.

Next evening, getting both of them to meet was quite a hard job. My senior was terribly late and ShatEEE was furious about it... she wanted to come back! And when he did reach, they couldn't find each other.
I was enjoying their frantic calls though... they were sounding so damn funny! :D
Well... well... they finally met. And the evening... wasn't a disaster afterall. ;)

That's my part of the story... to know about the rest, wait for the next post from ShatEEE.
