First, I wanted to thank everyone for such insightful remarks to my last article. I stand corrected, I am not a firm believer in karma, but in the Wiccan rule of three.
It was suggested that maybe I join a class or something similar instead of going to the bar to meet people. Frankly I don't have time for that. Let me clarify something--I don't only go to the bar to meet people and then go home and sit by my phone to wait for it to ring. I live in downtown DC, I work for a company whose employee's average age is 27, I belong to a young professionals society and am actively involved in that, a womens volunteer organization and a co-rec softball team with my company...Its not that I'm not putting myself out there. Im so Type A that it hurts. And the bar scene is so disheartening because all the guys want to hook up, take you home that night and that's it. I have self-respect...Its just not my cup of tea. I am looking to meet nice guys who aren't hideous looking/unemployed/socially retarded who don't really want a committment, just want to have fun and go out with a cool chick. (Tall order, huh?)
Anyway, after I hit submit article, the cell rang. It was the handsome stranger at the bar Saturday night. He said he was going to call earlier in the week but he was really busy at work (hell, it was 10 pm and he was calling from his office). We talked for a while and then we made a decision to grab drinks next week as we both have plans for the weekend. I figure this is a "hey I want to talk to you and get to know you better but I don't want to do it on the weekend and sacrifice an evening because I haven't really talked to you that much" date. Its all good, though. Who knows what will happen....But at least the week ended on a good note!
Tonight I am staying home though by choice. I have a test tomorrow morning at 7:30 am and I have to have a good nights sleep so I can have all the concepts sink in my brain. I am just relaxing right now, not stressing out, which is really hard. Tomorrow night I am celebrating the completion of this test with A1---a wild night out on the town once again. Lonely hearts minus one (A2 is too tired to party).
