Big grin!!! Met a new guy tonight.... so excited....


but they all start off exciting don't they...?


So here's the story... karaoke contest tonight with my friends from meetup. I got there early to reserve a table. Sat next to someone i sorta met Sunday when i was checking the place out... so i made small conversation about being early and waiting on friends.


Then since the place wouldn't let me put a reserve sign on my table i had to sit there by myself while i waited. New guy ... Hottie#4... came over to keep me company. He's actually 3 weeks sober. He's quit drinking. yes, it was because he got in trouble for a DUI... his story is that he was just sitting in his parking spot outside his house BUT since his keys were in the ignition a cop sited him for a DUI. raw deal.. in any case, he's given up drinking. good for him! I told him about my story of getting pulled over but passed all the sobriety tests. He said, i lucked out.


I told him that i was hosting a meetup group and was expecting 8 - 15 people. He hung around and sat next to me... even after people starting showing up...he kept talking to me. And he talked to everyone who showed, he was a nice social guy.


As for the contest, I thought i sang really good... but i still didn't make it in the top 4. I got the raw deal. I'm totally confused cuz i had the loudest cheer from the whole place and i sang on key. EVERY singer looked at the monitor and half the place was gone by the time they announced the winner. a complete rip off.. BUT i did have fun and that's what really matters!


So back to Hottie4.... he and his friend love singing karaoke and playing pool. Then he asked for my number. Yes, i gave it to him. After he left... he started texting me. So cool. He asked me out for this weekend, but i had to tell him i'm booked. So then he said he'd call and maybe we could play pool sometime... Sounds great!!!


I really did have a great time tonight... another meetup chick is just as crazy as me... She made it in the top 4, as did another member of the meetup group. Anyway, this crazy chick loves dancing, too... we had a blast. took lots of crazy pictures. Next time we're planning on singing some Salt and Peppa. Very cool! She is also a single mom. The turnout was not as big as expected.... only 5 people. But i danced so much i wore myself out. And i got a new guy's number. Great times!!

Hi,


I wasn't ignoring your question... i had to wait for my dinner break to respond.


I think the key is "openness". This is also covered in that book i keep mentioning.

sadness. the date has been canceled for tonight. 11pm is too late for him afterall.


Good news is that he called again on time... (hmmm now we know guys can tell time and call when they are suppose to.. ;-)


I have a comp day coming to me next week. So maybe i can schedule a day off and set a date. We talked on the phone (wow, an actual phone conversation...lol). It was my work schedule that got in the way and we tried to think of the next available time... which like i said, will be next week some time. He said he'd call back on Saturday to check. I hope he didn't get the impression that i wasn't interested. And working opposite schedules will be a problem no doubt.
