wondering just what it was her friend had in mind.
"I think you need to get out and meet some guys. Even if it's just to flirt or something. It would do you some good to get out there and just interact with the other half of our species. Nothing formal, no requirements, just a night out," she rushed on as Keri opened her mouth to object.
"No way! I'm not interested nor am I ready to put myself back out there."
"Oh please, it's just sex Keri! Trust me, as your friend, you need it. A man for the night is just what this doctor ordered." She mimed writing out her prescription on a pad of paper like a doctor would for drugs.
"I don't know Liz," she frowned, thinking over the concept. As a curvy girl, Keri had never felt completely in her element flirting with random men. She was confident enough in herself and her looks, knowing she was good looking. Her long auburn hair was one of her best features, but she received the most compliments about her eyes, a flirtatious green that had captured at least a few men before.
Still, it took a lot of nerves for her to go up to a man and shamelessly flirt. The whole concept of it filled her stomach with butterflies while twisting it into knots at the same time. It was fun when it worked, but it really hurt to be rejected. Being a taller woman with wide hips presented some challenges, but Keri knew she took the time to dress the part. She wondered if after three years of being off the market, could she still turn heads? Lizzie must have picked up on some of that train of thought, because she continued with her plan.
"Look, here's the plan. Two days from now, the Coffee Corner over on 47th is hosting a simple speed dating event. We go, sit at a table. Every five minutes, a new guy rotates to your table. If you like him enough, the two of you can take off to talk some more. If not, you wait five minutes and he's gone."
Keri still felt skeptical about the whole thing, but the fact that she wasn't just talking about a bar scene made her feel a little better. This was at least planned, and everyone was there for the same thing. Not having that burden on her shoulders would be nice. If she was honest with herself, she hadn't done much at all to even leave her apartment since Michael had left her.
"Perhaps you're right Liz. Tuesday you said it was? I'll be there, though I still can't believe I'm actually agreeing to it. It's probably this damn wine speaking for me." They both laughed over that, feeling the effects of the wine now.
"Promise me something though."
"Sure, anything at all."
"The next guy I find myself falling for, if he's a dick and I don't know it, you need to tell me right away. Don't ever let me waste my time on some asshole again. If you can see something from the start, then there's probably something there. Just don't let me be blind to it anymore, okay?"
"Absolutely Ker!" her friend exclaimed, lifting the glass of wine to toast Keri. She raised her own in reply, feeling oddly relieved despite everything going on in her life. Tuesday was going to come sooner than she thought.

Keri took one last look at herself in the mirror before she left. She had opted for subtly sexy, with tight jeans that accentuated her curves, and a looser, flowing shirt that tightened up right across her breasts. It plunged deeply enough to reveal some cleavage, just enough to generate interest, but ensured she didn't come across as desperate or skanky either. Her freshly cut hair was straightened and parted nicely to the side, giving her a bit of that girl-next-door vibe. She gave herself a red lipstick kiss in the mirror and headed down to join Liz in the lobby.
The ride there was nerve wracking for Keri. She was still extremely emotionally torn up over Michael but recognized the logic that her friend had used. She was going to get back on the horse sooner or later, so why not make it sooner? Nonetheless, she was unsure if she could even find herself able to trust any of the men she
