areivimzehlazeh- Was that meant for “The Riddle Thread…”?
kapusta, outoftowner, oomis1105- I left out details which I felt were not important.
She did not do any research on this person before she went out with him. Her intentions were to do the research after the first date if there was a possibility of a second date which she eventually felt there was not. I don’t think it’s far fetched that after one year the only memory of him was a diary entry.
As far as her parents are concerned- she is one of the youngest of a large family and when the name came up they thought it sounded familiar but weren’t sure if it was a mere suggestion for her or any of her older sisters, or if any of them actually went out with him (they don’t keep records).
I doubt she’s the only one that keeps notes about her dates, I’ve heard of others who also do. (I personally never did.)
The girl happens to still be single but I have no idea about the guy.
Any other questions?
