Small Island

Maui is a small island. With around 150,000 residents (not counting tourists) it can be hard to have any kind of anonymity. You are pretty much guaranteed to run into someone you know anywhere you go. I just went on a first date with a guy I met online (basically = blind date) and a guy I went on an unsuccessful date after meeting online last year walks by. He stopped and talked to my date, who he had tried to rent a room from, and then chatted with me. Our one date (the old guy, not sure yet about the new guy) was ok, but didn't lead to anything more (and I mean anything - neither of us even texted each other after). So, needless to say, AWK-ward. But I guess that is to be expected on a small island like Maui.
