True or False: Thanks, Carrie Bradshaw

This week's tour of Jury Duty reminds me why watching too much Sex in the City in my early to mid 20s has fully warped my expectations of early 30-something dating.

True or False:  There is a cute, single, age-appropriate guy serving on the jury with you.  Obviously, you will go on at least one date, rehash courtroom hijinks, and fall in love.

True or False: You meet a cute guy on an airplane.  He may or may not be single, and he's probably agre-appropriate.  You share a few laughs over the Sky Mall.  Obviously, you will go on at least one date, discuss the pros and cons of the Hammacher Schlemmer Solar Insect Zapper, and fall in love.

True or False: You reconnect with a guy friend from high school over an electronic social medium.  He's almost single, kind of cute, and age-appropriate (with few other redeeming qualities to speak of).  Obviously, you will go on at least one date, discuss the good old days, and fall in love.

True or False: You meet a cute-yet-elusive colleague at your summer job.  The flirting is mutual, if sporadic.  You have coffee together under the pretense of "networking".  Obviously, you will go on at least one real date, thank the Corporation for bringing you together, and fall in love.
