The morning after

Hello

I have taken the blog out on the town again. Me and my gal pals are enjoying this lovely weekend from the coffee shop. Earlier this morning, a friend and I started our urban line dancing class at the YMCA...there were no men (surprise, surprise), but it was fun.

Vegan Happy Hour did not start off well last night. I got to the bar and my friend who was supposed to be there hadn't arrived yet. There was a group of people chatting in a circle who looked like they could be vegan, so I just walked up to them and asked, "are you the vegans?" They weren't, but they seemed amused by the situation. I walked back further and found a group of people on couches underneath signs that said Vegan Drinks so I figured I'd found them. This group was a group of vegan people, but they didn't know my friend, and of course they didn't know me. It was kind of awkward for a minute, but I just kept talking to them and eventually they started talking with me and we had a nice conversation until my friend arrived. It was definitely another bad single moment; I didn't know what to do-stand around at the bar alone? Crash someone else's group? Thankfully it all worked out and hopefully those people don't think I'm too creepy.

On to the rest of the night.

First of all, I had a Smalltimore moment. Remember Mr. Argyle? The guy at my Church who turned out to have a girlfriend? He and his girlfriend were at the bar, and are friends with my friend. Smalltimore strikes again.

#1 The photographer. He works for a local magazine and was very nice. We chatted about art and photography and Baltimore.

#2 The reporter, was at one time a reporter, but is now an actuary. I asked him how one transitions from being a reporter to an actuary, but I am still not sure. He was nice and he chatted me up for a while.

#3 The smart guy. My first impression of this guy was that he is either special needs or incredibly intelligent. Turns out he is intelligent. We had a good conversation about the economy, politics etc...

So it was a profitable venture after all.

Part of me is glad that I am meeting all of these men because it gives me hope that there are a lot of guys out there that I haven't met yet. The other part of me is frustrated because I've met all these men and there isn't anyone that I like. I'm trying to trust the program; meet men and hope for the best.
