This sounds like a movie I saw with Jennifer Aniston playing your part. She "found" a date and it was a disaster initially. Turns out honesty would have been the best policy but her friend at work thought otherwise. In the end her honesty about lacking an S/O brought her wealth and a relationship. But that is Hollywood and this is real life.

Let your heart guide you! Whatever feels right will be right!

P.S. What does Texas have to do with it?
