me and them red shoes/nothing can please us

so my wonderful friend the red haired goddess put up some random post on craigslist to find someone to go see this comedy show with. who replies but this amazing, smart guy... from Spain... who's gorgeous. and they have another date set up for next week.
...could it possibly be that easy? i really feel like that's something that would NEVER happen to me. i do have this hangup about not feeling like i could date someone i just met. granted, my one date-like experience this year was pretty easy (as was I in the end...)- granted the reason i may have felt so comfortable with him was that we'd spent a few weeks trading e-mails. but after hearing the red haired goddess tell me about this, i thought about it. for an example, i used the Hot Undercover Guy Who Shall Not Be Named. He's this really cute guy I've been quietly lusting after for a while (*not* crushing on as i refuse to crush anymore, except for unattainable celebrities) and I thought about it- if (in some nonexistent fantasy world) he walked up to me and asked to take me out somewhere after work... i'd totally be like, "Ohhh i can't. I um. I ah... eek" I guess it's about just taking a chance every now and then. "Go get him, tiger!!"
