From posting to various newsgroups: *.personal
for A Mutual Friend^TM of Seattle, a unique introductions service.

Do you want to ask out
a specific co-worker (for a date)
but your company has
an anti-fraternization or anti-nepotism policy?

Are you basically a shy person,
from a more traditional background,
unskilled at flirting,
at your first job (and don't want to lose it if you make a wrong guess),
or new at being single
after a long time involved with someone else
(and your self-esteem needs a little time to repair)?

Feel that because of your of your busy
personal life, family, and/or work requirements or commitments,
that you can't meet potential mates
outside of the work world?

Afraid of losing face
if your interest says "no" to your request,
have them make a charge of sexual harassment
(most men's worst fears) and derailing your career, or
having everyone at your company
know about your "personal" business.

Or what if your interest is the same gender and
you don't want to be "out", yet?

Don't want to go to a local singles group,
(stand around like bleating sheep
while eyeing each other waringly,
wondering who's really the wolf/wolverine),
or
pay Gross Expectations (Great Expectations), or
your local MisMatchMaker (Matchmaker in your city name)
a huge fee to meet someone you might already know?
(One of our current employees got his lovely ex-wife on a list once).

We can improve your odds.

"The Possible Story of You and A Mutual Friend^TM

Life would be pretty cool if it was like the movies:
a hero/heroine, a romantic interest, some car chases
and a lot of hot-and-heavy love scenes.

However in the real world,
it's not always that easy to connect
with your leading man or lady.

That's where we come in.

A Mutual Friend^TM provides two different ways
for you to approach the person you've been admiring
with the level of confidentiality you want.

Two ways to ride off into the sunset:

A Mutual Friend^TM Secret Admirer

We'll send a letter letting him/her know
SOMEONE is interested (your identity is safe).

If he/she responds saying that they are also interested
(in you, of course),
then we'll let you both know.

(Your love interest, of course, responds free of charge.)
Cost: $9.95 or the price of a decent lunch for two
on a Entertainment coupon >;-{)

A Mutual Friend^TM Classic

You register an Expression of Interest with them,
(think of it as practicing to register for the real thing at The Bon Marché)
and they won't tell anyone,
including the object of your desire.

Hint: leave them a copy of this posting
or call or e-mail us for one of their brochures.

And if that object of your desire contacts them to tell them
about the same feelings for you,
we will tell you both.

Cost: $4.95 or the price of breakfast at McDonalds.

Make it Happen.

Why be a supporting character
(and never get an Oscar/Oscarette to hold)
when you can star in your own romantic feature?

Throw out the old script now and
chose the option above that suits you.

Or you can do nothing and
sit at home with your companion animal,
read a boring newspaper,
talk to yourself (or your biological creator(s) or offspring),
eat an unsatisfying TV dinner,
play on the computer,
and wonder why your life
doesn't happen they way you want it to happen
just like in the movies.

Either way, it's your life.
Choose.
