For me, that house was on Hawk Tree in College Station.
One particular night, all the usuals were there and there were a few new faces too. One particular face was worth taking a second look at. I told my friend (Katelyn, get with the times and get blog so I can link to you too, geeze) about this one guy and she said,
Go talk to him!!
So, a few ounces of liquid courage later, I happen to be in line behind this new object of my affection at the keg.
Knowing me, I'm sure a really intellectual conversation followed where we discussed politics and the war. Or maybe I just asked him where he was from. Good pick up line.
.......and the following conversation ensued......
me: Fredericksburg? Really, I have a lot of family there!
him: Oh yeah, who?
me: well, Scott and Kyle
him: oh cool are you cousins with Chad too?
me: no, they are cousins on their dad's side. Our moms are sisters.
him: oh cool are you cousins with Chad too?
me: no, they are cousins on their dad's side. Our moms are sisters.
him: blank stare
him: I will give you one guess what my last name is.
me: (guessing every German/Fredericksburg last name, totally oblivious to the obvious) well, I give up
him: I will give you one guess what my last name is.
me: (guessing every German/Fredericksburg last name, totally oblivious to the obvious) well, I give up
him: um Eckert
me: holy crap
him: yeah I'm pretty sure our Grandpas are brothers.
well, that ended my crush on him.
me: holy crap
him: yeah I'm pretty sure our Grandpas are brothers.
well, that ended my crush on him.
what a pity.
silver lining (and to answer that question I KNOW you are thinking...): at least we didn't make out
and, at least I never went on a date with him...not like anyone in my family ever went on a date with a second cousin, (there might be more on that later...)
Dating Lesson: Before crushing on a mysterious man at a party, you might want to get a few particulars out in the open first...

I totally knew where you were going with this before I even read the entire post! You and TJ have a lot in common...supposedly, he accidentally hit on his cousins at dances in high school. At least that's the rumor.
