Snippets from Friday Night, part 2 December 11, 2006

“That guy, sitting behind you, is cute,” I told my married friend. We’d settled into a table and in the group sitting nearby was a guy I’d spotted at the crowded bar earlier. He was most decidedly my physical type, which is so certain that my friends could point to the men I’m checking out at any given moment in any given situation. He was tall, broad-shouldered and stocky with dark hair.
She glanced over her shoulder and spied an older man. I shook my head no and talked her through the crowd until her gaze landed on the gentleman of the hour.
She nodded in agreement as I straightened up in my chair and coyly played with a section of my hair, trying to casually make eye contact and draw his attention.
A few minutes into this game of me silently willing him to notice me — a technique that I have much hope for, though it has been largely unsuccessful thus far — he stood up and left his table. As he walked by, my friend’s husband leaned over to me and interrupted my thoughts, which at this point consisted of if I could trip this guy and make it look like an accident so that he would notice me and fall madly in love.
“See that guy walking by?”
“Yes …” I answered, planning to continue with, “Isn’t he hot!”
My friend’s husband interrupted me, “That guy, he is a total ASS.”
I slumped back into my seat and shook my head, my dreams of innocent injury causing love halted by cruel reality.
“Of course he is.”
Humn… crushed before you got going. I suppose in theory this is A Good Thing as it spared you agony. Sometimes the delusion is more fun than the reality though eh?
Forgive him, he meant well.
However… is there a part 3?
Haha. Love your stories! That is all.
Charming likes beefcakes!!
so did your friend’s husband say why that guy was a total ASS?
oh man i have to laugh at my word verification word… it’s ‘iblab’ i blab? too funny!
It’s always seemed to me like the hottest, most “my type” ones are the ones most likely to turn out to be asses. Perhaps because they can tell from square one what kind of grip they have…
thank GOD for people who know the hotties you are checking out at the bar.
Another dater in the pool, Crazy Aunt Purl (www.crazyauntpurl.com) just found out the guy she had been dating for 5 months was STILL MARRIED to wife NUMBER 3. And then he had the nerve to get pissed when she told him that was not cool.
Bar bouncing with friends - definitely priceless.
Criss — Yes, there is a part three. And there’s a cute story exchange for a part four as well. Heehee. People had complained that my posts were getting too long and I hated losing some of the funnier things (i.e. the 65 year old woman who complimented my chest) that didn’t reall “advance the plot” so to speak.
jo — My friend’s husband apparently knew him professionally. And I trust this guy’s opinion. Though his wife is a very close friend of mine, I have technically known him longer. He is a great guy, a wonderful husband and generally easy to get along with. So if he doesn’t like someone, that person must be a jerk …
