[It's less pity than empathy - Eddie and Iris might not have been married, but they were getting there, and Eddie knows how much it sucks to deal with all this on the tail end of a serious relationship like that. The truth is, he really didn't want to go through the whole hassle of doing speed dating just for a few good deals either.

So when the other man digs in his pocket and shows him the flyer, Eddie leans in and reads it over quickly, one blond brow raising.]

Oh, wow, that is cool. I'm a detective, back home, so that kind of thing is right up my alley.

[A pause, though, as he parses everything that Curtis said, and his smile widens a little.]

I'd love to go with you. And... [Lifting his hand, he checks off his responses on his fingers.] ...that's fine, I'm not ready yet either, you're only half right, and no...they don't.

[A little grin.]

So let's do it.

[Turning, he starts off toward the door, gesturing that the other man should follow him.]

What's your name, by the way?
