Weird Story

I have never been asked to be a reference for anyone before. It would be very flattering if I had know that my name and number had been given out by a friend of mine. I was very surprised the other night when I got phone call from someone I had never spoken to but they seemed to know who I was. I was a little freaked out at first since I thought it might have been a scam.
This man was calling in reference to see what kind of person my friend was and if he was a nice person who would be suitable for dating his daughter. WHAT? This was something new for me. After talking to this father for a while, I figured out that it was real and he really wanted to know about my friend. I told him he's an A+ and should be given a chance. The father apologized to me since he had never met me and was just looking out for his little girl. After I told my hubby be glad that my dad didn't do that! If he had thought of it he might have!
I called my friend after this odd phone call to see what was going on. He said he was sorry and that he should have told me. He was waiting for a call from the dad to see if he could go on his date. The odd part is that they have never met face to face! He couldn't even met her without dad's approval. I hope that my phone call allowed him to have a date with this girl and I hope that they really liked each other so they can go out again.... I don't want the dad calling me and saying that I was a bad reference!!! Weird huh?
