I sat next to a guy in Starbucks here, who was reading the Bible.
Did I strike up a conversation? Nooooo.
I restrained myself, and instead dutifully paid library fines online, googled Dawson's Creek, checked out my bank statement.
When I sneezed, he said "Bless you."
Did I bite?
No. I said "Thank you" and went back to my Internet duties.
Because if there's one thing I've learned in 10 years of (not) dating, it's that a meet and greet in a public place leads to nothing ever happening with that person ever again.
Positivity* for the win here in 2014. How's your mood?
Love,
Bails
*Spell check tells me this is not a word? Don't care. Leaving it.
I so very much get you on this. Even though I've been trained not to use the word "very."
ReplyDeletei very much appreciate that you very much get this. yesterday some friends and i went to this Chiefs watch party, met this adorable guy from missouri who talked to us several times. time to go after the game, i asked if he's on facebook, his answer: "i've never been on facebook. it's not really for me." bro, that was not me just making conversation - let's exchange the contact info. this is our opportunity.
Deletenever gonna see him again.
It's been years since I've been "out there." As you know, Mary and I married at a tender age. So, I'm living vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteBe happy you're living only vicariously, Johnny No. The freedom of being single is fun - not having to check in, making spontaneous plans - but the flipside - the never dating when you want to date, the aloof boys, the not having anyone to regularly check in with - sucks.
