In the past two years I’ve phoned, e-mailed and dined with three potential "ideal husbands". (This is according to the aunts or cousins who talk up the suitors to my parents. Marriage brokering is a favorite pastime for my extended family.) The investment banker was my first blind date. The timing couldn’t have been worse. He’d made his mark and was searching for a full-fledged adult companion, not a recent journalism-school graduate who spent most of lunch whining about being unemployed.
After that came drinks with the San Francisco-based attorney. He rattled on about himself for an hour and then we said polite goodbyes. It was a superficial meeting, as initial conversations usually are. Two days later he sent me a long-wided e-mail explaining that he wasn’t ready for a serious commitment which was a share. because I’d already mailed the invitations, set up the bridal registry and commissioned the cake.
Finally, there was the multimedia artist raised in London. We had been e-mailing each other for a few months and, for the most part, it was a pleasant exchange. When we met in person, he complimented my apartment, but said he would like it better if I weren’t in it (I think he was joking). He made me see "Deep Impact". Enough said.
Obviously, none of these gentlemen wound up being "the one". And compared with the agony that can follow a breakup after just a few months of dating, I came out relatively unscathed. However, just because there wasn’t an emotional investment, the rejection didn’t smart any less.
In my most dire moments I consider surrendering my marital future to the scientists at the University of Hawaii who successfully cloned a couple of mice. If I could take elements of my three suitors and fuse them together, maybe I would have the perfect man. I could just relax while genetic engineering caught up with my needs. Of course, I don’t see the anxious aunts and cousins waiting it out with me. In fact, my father seems keen on sending me on an extended holiday to India. I can just picture myself rolling out of Calcutta customs, bleary-eyed and jet-lagged, to be greeted by a line of eligible young men holding up little cards with their respective heights printed on them, well-intentioned mothers hovering close at hand.
From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.
