This past weekend was pretty mellow, Saturday night I met up with some friends at our new local bar where happy hour on weekends is nine to eleven! I had a margarita and an apple martini for a whopping six dollars! In New York that would have have cost me $25 okay maybe not that much but close enough. I'm not going to lie this could be our new favorite haunt. It was on this night when I was hanging out with friends and I was meeting friends of friends and it was then that I saw him. It takes a lot for me to think a guy is good looking, perhaps it's unrealistic expectations set by the media or just my own personal preference but it takes a lot to make me weak in the knees.
I arrived late to the gathering made the rounds with hellos and hugs and a few introductions and then shook the hand of the boy. He takes my hand in his and it feels strong and I get nervous. I haven't been nervous around someone in a very long time so this was a feeling I wasn't to happy with.
Now it's at this crucial moment when you first meet someone that you start to feel them out to get their vibe ( for lack of a better word). I have talked this over with several friends and there are just some girls that put out this vibe of flirt with me, and I'm so cute, don't you think I'm cute too. Where as I on the other hand put out the vibe of let me punch you in the arm and tell you what a great friend you are. I will fully admit that I am a girlie girl, I like my handbags, my shoes and my make up but for some reason I'm giving off the just friend vibe and I can't seem to shake it. I think I need to take a seminar from these other girls.
In college I had my fair share random making outs and what not but I'm done with that at least I hope. I don't want the randomness anymore I'm tired of that and I would like to think I'm a little to old for it now anyway. I don't think I'm putting out the vibe of hi nice to meet you do you want to get married, because I'm quite content being single. I mean don't get me wrong I have my days of wanting someone but I like to think that those days are few and far between even though in actuality they are not.
The rest of the evening I chatted with my friends and talked with the boy a bit. The nervousness faded away and I began to enjoy myself. Nothing came of the conversation, but as I was walking to my car trying to dodge the rain that was starting to fall I realized I had fun and I guess that is what is important.
I can't help you here. I INVENTED the punch me in the arm vibe.
