"Hey, Jason, you're taking my friend out on a date next Saturday night," Stephanie said.
I blinked. This was a strange greeting, even for Stephanie, who was a bit eccentric. "Uh, hello. I'm doing what?"
It was my senior year of college, and a group of my friends and I were getting lunch at the student union. I looked over at Brad, my best friend since high school, but he just shrugged.
"Her name's Bree, she's a friend from back home who's coming down for the game next weekend," Stephanie explained. "She was bitching last night that the only guys who are taller than her are asshole jocks. Since you're not an asshole and you're not particularly athletic, I thought you'd be perfect."
I'm 6'9", and probably the tallest guy at the university who wasn't on the basketball team. It's a dubious honor at best. "Gee, thanks," I drawled. "Do I get to know anything else about this Bree? Or even get a say in this?"
Stephanie shook her head. "No." She turned and started talking to our friend Crissy while I sat there with my mouth open, fumbling for a reply.
Brad laughed and clapped me on the back. "Yeah, I'm sure this will work out great," he offered. I gave him a look and he just laughed harder.
That's just what best friends do, isn't it?

I got a few more details out of Stephanie over the next ten days. Bree was a volleyball player; they went to high school together; Bree had dated a series of assholes and guys who were shorter than her and Stephanie just wanted to prove that tall and nice weren't mutually exclusive.
Whatever. I'd been on a cold, dry streak for the entire semester so I didn't put up much of a fight. Stephanie told me what type of clothes to wear (nice jeans with a v-neck pullover), where to go to dinner (a place with local flavor rather than a chain restaurant, but not somewhere expensive), and when to pick Bree up (7pm at Stephanie's apartment). I could handle a no-strings date that required no thought on my part.
It turned out to be a pretty good Saturday. The weather was great, the football team won the game handily, and I knew of several good parties we could hit up after dinner. I'd been resigned to the date for most of the week, but I was getting interested in spite of myself now. I just hoped Stephanie didn't talk me up too much -- I didn't want this girl to have some impossible standard of me to live up to.
I arrived at Stephanie's a few minutes before seven. I was habitually early for everything, even though I knew Stephanie had never been on time in her life. Sure enough, she bustled to the door and invited me in to watch TV in the living room while Bree finished getting ready (with Stephanie's help, of course).
I agreed and sat down to watch the night game while they worked.

My first impression of Bree was *legs for miles*.
Stephanie came out of her bedroom about a quarter after seven and hurried over to me. "When she found out how tall you are, she was really excited to wear some really high heels and still be shorter than you," Stephanie said. "But she's still a little nervous. Please be nice, okay?"
I looked at her strangely -- I was
always
nice. Stephanie teased me about it constantly. Bree must be really self-conscious of her height. I just nodded.
Stephanie smiled and called, "Come on out, Bree."
The door opened and Bree stepped out. Her blond hair was piled up on top of her head, and because of that she had to duck slightly to not hit it on the door frame. She wore a scoop-neck blouse and a jacket on top and a very short skirt along with strappy five-inch heels. Her legs were lean and muscular and *very* sexy.
She stopped a few steps into the room and stood there for a moment, fidgeting. "Um, hi," she said softly.
"Wow," I said. She wasn't the prettiest girl -- she had a long nose and a few blemishes on her face, and at first glance her figure was a little boxy -- but she was very striking. And she had clearly made an effort to look good for me, and that is always a turn-on. "You look great."
Bree blushed and smiled. "Thank you."
I stood up and walked over to her. I was probably about two or three inches taller than her. I glanced down at her heels and guestimated her height at around 6'2". No wonder she had a hard time finding dates, and no wonder she was so excited to wear heels and still be shorter than her date.
I offered her my hand and introduced myself formally. "Jason Summer."
