Cocktails and Coincidences

 People often say that things happen for a reason. I agree, but I have trouble figuring out just what that reason is. Barb and I hit a few bars pre-Teen Witch, which is how I learned that drinking those orange tic-tacs can be trouble. It was getting close to show time so we grab a cab to the Bridge theater. We waited in line, we make it inside, sit for five minutes and decide to blow the event and go be drunk somewhere else.

     In the cab we randomly land at Harry's bar on Fillmore. Yet another bar that now knows about the drink, which incidentally is much better with Grey Goose Orange. We start chatting with a couple of guys and hear some interesting stories, when I see this guy coming toward me. My face lights up as I realize it is one of the Denny's guys that I met at Saddle Rack. He had recommended a book to me that night, and it was a mind blowing read, so when I saw him walk by I threw my arms around him and launched into an enthusiastic review of the novel. Poor guy. We ended up hanging out and talking the rest of the night. So to recap, this is a guy who lives in the city, works for sjfd, and I met in Fremont, and we happen to end up at the same bar, in sf. Weird, right? 

  So the thing is, I really hit it off with this guy's friend when we were at the Rack. (T-shirt guy) So what does this random coincidence mean? It was so cool to hang out with the book guy, but he is 28, so really where can that go? The t-shirt guy and I are supposed to meet up this weekend so maybe that will help clear up my confusion. He knows his friend and I hung out, since we were texting him at the time. Probably this will be insignificant in a few weeks, since most of my guys fizzle out in a month or so. I just want to be open minded. Maybe things will be clear after the weekend. 

  Barb and I are starting our single girl research project soon. We are going to different locations and will be judging different approaches to men and the various levels of success we find. Barb suggested we have a plan and actually get some useful strategies. Our first stop will be the Mission district. How to flirt successfully with a man from the Mission....I love this type of research!
