You mean like, go to the bathroom together?

Be nice to their face and talk a bunch of shit the second they walk away

Pretty much, yeah.

That seems like a good idea, but it always turns out more like soccer to me. Lots of balls being kicked around and in the end nobody ever actually scores.

I see some ladies tonight that should be havin my baby

after I crushed "emmigrant song" (I know) last week @ piece:

lady: oh my god! you're awesome. are you in a band?
me: yeah, I'm in zeppelin.


[exit. lady still at table. I go home alone.]

I nearly dropped the ball completely getting the number of this one girl a couple months ago. Met her at the conclusion of a night hanging out with a friend of mine, during which we rendezvoused with his girlfriend and a friend of hers that immediately knocked me on my ass with the hotness. Initially told myself, "aw, man, i can't hit on this girl, i just broke up with one of T's friends a few months ago, now i'm gonna hit on another one of her friends? Bah!" Except i kept noticing her making eye contact while we were at Cactus, so i just caved and started talking to her. At the end of the night said, "hey, you should come along with C and T to karaoke tomorrow night."

Next night at karaoke who should show up in tow with my pals? The hot friend. OK, it's on. Make with the chit-chat but wander off to mingle occasionally so as not to be all smothery and locked in and obvious. All the while thinking "at the end of the night when we all leave i'll get her number. Totally easy. She came out tonight because i suggested it. Cakewalk."

So, when she got up to put on her jacket and leave early, i got totally thrown. "Yeah, i'm tired, i worked all day today and have to be up early in the morning."

Me: "Oh. Um, man, that sucks, well, um, it was nice seeing you again...uh..." *trails off because i'm a doof who can;t think on his feet suddenly*

Her: "So, you wanna call me sometime?"

Me: "GAH! Yes, Jesus, heh, duh *shakes head* obviously..."

I like to think the fact that i had established myself as "charmingly geeky yet self-assure" the night before allowed me to back into the phone number acquisition, but i suppose she could just be into wussy awkward indie rock types too, i mean who knows...

Oh you did indeed drop the ball there. It's cool she was nice enough to pick it up for you!

Oh yeah and then I can giggle while he tells me about how much he can bench and the time he beat the shit out of a guy (almost) and ALL about the camaro and maybe I'll interject to tell him a cute story about my best friend's puppy and how her wedding dress was soooo beautiful and I'm an art major but really I'm trying to be an actress or maybe in human resources but really I wanna know more about what he does at work cause it sounds so interesting and hard and hopefully he will not notice my gross arms and take me home and after that we'll totally be dating. Yay! What a catch.
