This evening I met my good friend and former employee Selena out for Margaritas at a local Mexican hot spot. The conversation went from goings on at the old place of employment to stupid people to the men making appearances in our lives. I’m not going in to that ball of fun right now. Trust me, I’ll get to that soon enough.
As we were drinking our fantastic strawberry margaritas (Please note: On the rocks, no salt…EVER) and a bowl of chips this GEORGEOUS tall, dark and yummmmmm man and his friend (who I couldn’t pick out of a line up) walk in. I literally stopped mid-sentence when they sat down at the bar. I managed to make eye contact with him a few times during my conversations with Selena and Candace. Oh, right, Selena’s good friend from school Candace joined us.
As we were walking out, I once again made eye contact with him and he totally checked me out. Selena and Candace noticed too. I honestly don’t remember who’s idea it was, but the suggestion was made that I go up and give Mr. Tall, Dark and I’m gonna guess Brazilian my number. After a block of walking and earnest contemplation, I evidently “grew a pair” and marched back into the restaurant with name and number on a torn receipt in hand.
I walked up to him and said, “Hi, I’m Danny. I don’t normally do this, but I think you’re a very attractive man and if you’d ever like to grab a drink sometime here’s my number. I put it on the bar in front of him, apologized for interrupting and told him to have a good night.
4 hours later…

"Hey this is jim frm mex rstrnt. I’m not dating right now BUT did u like my frnd I was with. We were checking u out for him. Did u think he was cute?"
I replied with a simple “thank you” for texting me back, but he was the one in which I was interested.
His reply:
"It was a very courageous thing to do & I didn’t wanna leave it unanswered. Ok. U have a good night too."
Yes it was!!! And despite the “wahh wahh” outcome, I’ll probably do it again. What the hell, I had nothing to loose.
NEXT!!!!!!!!
