Okay, I know the title sounds strange, but it's actually quite amusing if you think about it. I'm sure hundreds of ladies out there are looking for decent guys to go out with, and here I am, going to a wedding with no date. Allow me to explain.

(circa February 2008)
Bride: Have I told you I'm getting married on April 12? Can you make it?
Philos: You haven't told me, because if you had, you'd know that I wouldn't miss it for the world. (I know, blech! I'm that cheesy... can't help it. Plus, she's a really good friend of mine. Does that absolve me now?)
B: Okay, great! You bringing anyone?
P: Nope, nothing's changed.
B: I'll be saving you two seats anyway just in case you find someone.

(a couple of days ago)
B: Are you bringing anyone? I'm finalizing the seating arrangement.
P: It's not that I don't want to bring anyone. I just don't have anyone to bring....
B: Yet. Anyway, I'm still saving you two seats. See ya!

So here I am with a wedding to go to and two seats under my name, but no one to go with. I mentioned this to Joyfulchicken today, and, being the supportive friend that he is, he bet me a burger that there's no way in hell I can find a date in two days. I want to prove him wrong, so the wager is on.

Now I need your help. Can anyone here set me up with a date for this Saturday? If you know someone (women only... no dudes) interested in a free meal and willing to dress up for the occasion, just email the name and contact info (and maybe a Friendster link) to philos@chickenmafia.com before Saturday.

The wedding will start at 10 AM on April 12, 2008 at the Don Bosco Church in Makati. Reception will follow at Hotel Intercon.

Appendix A: Benefits of going on a date with Philos

1. You'll get a delicious free lunch at a nice hotel.
2. It will be fun because I'm a fun and friendly guy. And I won't be creepy, I promise. I'll be a gentleman.
3. You'll be free by early afternoon, which leaves you with enough time to find an evening date in case things don't go well (highly unlikely).
4. Who knows? I might just turn out to be Prince William in secret (or Harry, whoever is the good looking one--I mix them up all the time).
5. Did I mention the delicious free food?

So set me up please. And hurry... I only have two days.
