Journal Entry: 9/3/2011 - Role Reversal

Ok, so this is new. Two nights in a row guys have hit on me. I have to admit that it's a bit flattering, but i'm married (and wearing a ring) and i'm not into guys. That being said, i still had to deal with it from the female perspective and that was the role reversal. Actually, thinking about it, there has been three times. Good thing i am married because i would have no clue how to find a girl.

Anyway, last night i was at a gay bar, a lounge actually. The other place is a nightclub and this one, The Ultra Lounge, has a nice atmosphere for me. Problem is that it's dead in there until 9 or so. Back to last night. I ordered a glass of wine, and then a second. Some people started coming in, including girls, and they were sitting at the bar. I was at a table. So, this guy comes over and sits at the table (on the long couch side like i was sitting on), next to me. Not, RIGHT next to me but, next to me, you know. So he starts up a conversation, nothing heavy, just chatting, but this was a bar and he was interested. I was getting ready to leave after my 3 glasses of wine and he asked me if i wanted his phone number (in case i went back there someday and wanted some company).

Well i understand how my wife feels sometimes when guys chat her up. You know it's not going anywhere and don't want to be mean, so you chat....and then i took his number (and deleted it from my phone later). It was good practice though because if someone asks me for my number sometime i can just say, how aboout you give me yours? instead. So, that was that.

Tonight i was at Squid Lips, in the tiki bar. Don't like sitting there aloner but have to get out of the house. So i had two glasses of wine and paid my bill. i was just finishing up and this guy came out of no where and said i looked lonely and asked me to join him at the bar. Ok, so he was like 90 years old and blind as a bat. But, he made it the 50 feet from the bar to my table without a walker. It was so sweet and i felt bad for him, all alone. i thought for a second about saying yes and having one more but i didn't...i told him i had to go home and feed my dogs, which i did. The look on his face was so sad, i felt guilty...........but i'm not into guys remember? I still felt bad for him. This was an old experience, in reverse. Turning someone down is what girls do to men, and this was my first. Another first. I felt bad for the geezer but i liked the fact that i felt something from a female perspective.


I am sincerely,

Laura Catherine
