So close….

So, I’m still trying the online thing.   I have to admit that its a getting a little discouraging.  I mean, come on – how long have I been doing this????

My friends are feeling my pain these days and one suggested I go out and pick out a nice guy for myself.   There’s this bar in the middle of an apartment complex and it’s hosting a band – all the patrons are supposedly roughly around my age, mostly single, so the pickins are good.  Ok…I’m in.   Let’s do it.   I’ll go – I’ll pick out a really nice guy – and I’ll be done with this online dating thing!   This is how its supposed to be done, right?

So I dressed up, not too ‘up’, but cute-ish, right?    I walk in so adorable on my fabulous new heels and scope the crowd.   My friend was right – wow – lots and lots of profiles, I mean, people – men, to chose from!

Now, what I didn’t factor in was that they have to pick me, too….and unfortunately, you don’t get to hide behind your computer or phone while being rejected.   So there I am face to face with all kinds of guys and too scared to do a single thing about it.   dammit.

Then suddenly, the most adorable man walks up to me!   Be still my heart, oh so cute.   He says something, but the band is so loud that I can’t hear him so I simply respond with my most coy, seductive smile, right?   I’m workin’ it now.  He leans in a little closer and says something else!  But dammit, I still can’t hear him!   He’s got to be interested though, right?  He’s LEANING IN – that’s Body Language 101!    So I lean in towards him a bit so I can hear this wonderful compliment with which he’s trying to woo me.  I love this part of meeting someone!    I lean in and he asks me if I want something to drink!   YES!

Turns out…..and nevermind how I figured this out….he was the waiter…..

I’ve been swiped….
