How about meeting a Jelly on Fri, Aug 6, 7:00 PM Austin TX area?

This posting was inspired by this question, 2 days ago. “Have you ever used Rentafriend.com?”: http://www.fluther.com/92125/have-you-ever-used-rentafriendcom/ After insistent questioning by several of us @mrentropy answered with “this explanation”: http://www.fluther.com/92125/have-you-ever-used-rentafriendcom/#quip1493909 Go ahead, check it out. I’ll wait….
“My wife was killed in a car accident in April. I no longer have custody of the kids. All I have is a tiny apartment, two cats and two birds. While they are fine company, I sometimes wish to have some sort of human to talk to. Now that all the chaos is over I find myself kind of bored. I don’t know where anything, besides bars, are. I feel like it would be nice to take a tour of the parks in the area, but I really don’t know where they are or much about them. I don’t dance. I really don’t feel any urge to sit at a bar and drink all night. Frankly, I don’t think I want to meet anyone at a bar, anyway. It’s almost as if I am new to the area and would like some kind of guidance and companionship. And I mean companionship because I’m not in any way ready to even contemplate getting into a relationship (dating sites are out, at the moment). I am, essentially, an introvert. I’m not all that good at striking up conversations with strangers…. I hate going out to eat or to the movies by myself. Really. I did make myself go to the movies once, and all I could think about was how I could have bought a DVD, popcorn, and a bottle of soda and not spent as much going to a theater – by myself”

I had to do something. With his reluctant, embarrassed, shy approval, I decided to make this offer.

So here’s the deal:
On Friday Aug 6, 7:00 PM @mrentropy will be sitting in
Panera Bread
9901 N Capital of Texas Hwy
Austin, TX 78759
(Between Round Rock and Austin)
You know the guy. With 9300 lurve it is obvious many of you know him better than your coworkers.
To induce @mrentropy to go ahead with this adventure I made a little side wager that someone from here would show. Jellies, don’t fail me. If just one of you shows, I win, and will hereby donate the money he owes me to pay for your meal.
For his protection I ask that the attendees be over 21 and have a least 1000 lurve. That way you both can easily recognize each other and will have something in common. You can be male or female, single or in a group. Just be willing to eat a nice soup and sandwich at Panera Bread and then maybe show him a place or two.
Don’t stay in this Friday night. Take a chance – he is.
