Feedback

We get our client to fill in the form for feedback after they go on the date, and this lady just went on the date last weekend. It took 2 phone calls, and several emails between me and her before I could convince her to meet this guy. And she wasn’t disapointed that she took my advice of giving this guy a chance:

Her Feedback:

1) Was there any chemistry? 
    quite a lot
2) What did you like about your match?
   

    ผิวขาว หน้าตาตี๋ ๆ ใส่แว่น ตัวสูงมากกว่าพี่ ท่าทางและการแต่งกายสุภาพ  เรียบร้อย  สะอาดสะอ้าน เป็นคนมีความคิดอ่าน ช่างคิด มีเหตุผล ดูเป็นผู้ใหญ่  ความสนใจคล้ายกัน เช่น การดูแลรักษาสุขภาพด้วยอาหารและการออกกำลังกาย  ชอบอ่านหนังสือในเรื่องที่คล้ายกัน เช่น การพัฒนาบุคลิกภาพ   how to  ปรัชญา

    
 
3) What did you not like about your match?
 

    ผอมมากเกินไปจนดูเก้งก้าง  ดูแก่มากไปหน่อยตอนยิ้ม (ถ้าไม่ยิ้มก็ไม่ค่อยจะดูแก่มาก  ถือว่าดูอ่อนกว่าที่จินตนาการไว้มาก) ไม่ค่อยมีอารมณ์ขันเพราะเป็นคนช่างคิดและเงียบ   (มีความเป็นผู้ใหญ่ก็ดี  แต่ก็อยากให้มีออกขี้เล่น ทะเล้นเล็กน้อย เพราะพี่เป็นคนมีอารมณ์ขัน ปล่อยมุกตลกเป็นประจำ)  ท่าทางเขาจะไม่ค่อยชอบเที่ยวเล่น ดูหนังนอกบ้าน ในขณะที่พี่ยังชอบอยู่  แต่พี่ไม่เที่ยวกลางคืนเป็นประจำ  เช่น ผับ คาราโอเกะ ดิสโก้เทค

  
 
4) Was the venue appropriate?
    Yes
 

5) Did you enjoy the date?
    Yes
 

6) Would you like to continue to get to know your match?
 I think there is potential with my match. I would like to continue to get to know him.
Regards,
A.

ML Nattakorn, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps…..

With all the noise surrounding ML Nattakorn Devakula entering the Bangkok Govornor race, it reminded me of the email he once sent to me when I asked him if he knows way to help raise MeetNLunch’s profile. He suggested that I held a press conference, which at the time, I thought was a little over the top.  But looking back over the year, I think his suggestion is probably not bad at all.  Not that I have hold a press conference recently, but I have learnt something from what he said, and will be appearing on couple of TV program show on UBC and channel 9 this month. Snow balling effect, I would say. Perhaps his wacky idea, comments and suggestions are worth considering after all.

Taxi Cupid

I always have some really interesting stories circulating around the Thai taxi drivers.  They are such a unique group of people that brought the bright colour to the Bangkok street. The one I took this morning, came top of the list, on par with the one taxi I took that was crawling in ants. Anyway, this taxi driver refused to take even a baht from me because I scolded him for taking the wrong way and made me stuck in traffic for 10 mins longer than normally.   I didn’t think I told him off that badly, but was just asking why he didn’t go the way I asked him to go.  Maybe my tone was harsher than normally because I had the headache from a deprived in caffeine, but still, he didn’t have to get so upset that he didn’t want to take any fare. 

Gosh, so there…he told me about his hard earning life, and that he also has a dignity (talking about blowing this out of proportion) and I could almost hear a tear drop coming out of his eyes.  The conversation lasted for a minute, while the other cars were waiting to drop off the other passengers.  I had to end this, thinking this is way too much of a morning for me already, so I said to him, “I have a hard earning life too, and I understand, I didn’t mean to raise my voice.  Please take my money. Please take my money.  Please.”  He finally gave in, THANK YOU GOD,  and we departed in peace. 

Chris also sent me a link this morning of a taxi driver in New York that tried to matchmake people.  Isn’t that cute?
