Dear Mr. Trekkie

I met Mr. Trekkie online. He did a 5K run in a spiderman costume which I thought was kind of fun. I thought that was kind of a joke. I found out later...Nope. He is genuinely is committed to that kind of stuff....yeah...

Dear Mr. Trekkie,
I'm pretty sure we actually did talk about Star Trek, so I think the title is appropriate. I think about our date and I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh. People like you exist. Hard core, dedicated fans, which I am all for. It simply isn't my cup of tea. And, don't get me wrong, I could sit there and listen to you ramble about all the latest video games and secret codes and levels. I just have NO IDEA what language you are speaking. I suppose that's when I blame my ignorance on my femininity. And video games are boring to me (except nintendo 64, but that was forever ago). Ever think of picking up a book? No, not a comic book lol. Nevermind.

You actually really are quite precious. I remember after coffee, I locked myself out of my car and you drove me to get my spare key, which was really nice. AND! I remember we played that one virtual reality game that Google set up where you have to try and drive by certain hot spots or hubs (real locations) and check in on this app and if you got enough pins you could take over the fortress and there were teams and you could see where your teammates were. It was quite elaborate. I just couldn't get over how passionate you were about making sure we stopped at all the hubs to check in for this "virtual" game on the way to get my keys. I guess they're located at all these different public places. I just kept thinking, "what is happening right now?" "Is this real?" But, it was. 100% real. Our worlds are just so different. I do have to let you in on a little secret. It probably wasn't fair to go on a date with you in the first place when I knew before I got there that this would be the one and only date. I just had this respect, at the time, for guys who could ask a girl out. I had a hard time saying "no." And, to be honest, I was kind of a loner myself. I was new to this city and looking for friends.. and if they all happened to be men who thought I was attractive, that was fine by me. It was temporary. Thankfully, I found my community of girls and thank goodness! Even the best of us can only take so much testosterone.

Sincerely,

A typical Girlie Girl
