I was chatting with a friendly neighbor the other day.  She's a little bit of a busybody, and I found that out before I even signed the lease.  She seems nice enough though, so we're talking about menial things.  Moving in, getting settled, etc and she was pointing out a few doors and telling me about the people that lived behind them.  A man walked past us and she introduces him.  He shook my hand but didn't stop to talk.  He was just a few feet past me when she says.  "He's single.  Are you married?"  I respond in the negative.  She then says, "He's single and handsome.  Do you hear me Bubba?"  He waved that he did.  
I was able to end our conversation smoothly and continue on to the laundry room.  He was just a few feet in front of me.  I said, "Well that was slightly awkward."  He smiled, and I could tell he wasn't uncomfortable.  I'm glad, but how did it end up that I live next to the neighborhood matchmaker?
