So I’m kid free for a couple days, and I went out to dinner tonight with a friend. Actually, we went to a brewery. The same place we went on my birthday (I blogged about it but I’m too lazy to go find the link.) It has stone grilling. Yummy. Where last time the waiter who served us told me he wanted to be in a romance novel, because there were never enough black men in romance novels. So I told him he could be in one of my novellas. And I did, I put him in it–he’s a cop! (I recently finished and it’s going out to my Samhain editor!). Anyway, I digress. We ate at this brewery again. So yummy. You cook your food on these really hot stones. Like they set it in front of you with raw meat on it. I’m a chicken girl, so no red meat for me.
Anyway, I’ve realized something. If a gal wants to flirt, she should really go a to a brewery. There are men there. Lots of them. And they’re not like some of the young 20 somethings out just to get trashed and hit on anything with breasts. Real men. And they were hitting on us–well, more so my friend. I was giving off the ‘get away’ vibe. I have confession, I’m a bit nervous with the opposite sex. It’s been so long since I’ve dated or anything close to that, it’s almost like making contact with aliens. Come to think of it, aliens might be easier. Anyway, I digress AGAIN.
My friend got the weirdest pick up line. She didn’t think it was a pickup line, but I totally think so. It was a line to get her attention and instigate attention. So this random guy comes up behind her, taps her on the shoulder, and says… “Excuse me, I just have to ask. How long have you been divorced?” We’re just blinking is shock, then she answers him–because she is indeed divorced. She started with the ‘how did you know I was divorced?’ bit. When I cut to the chase and just asked him, “It didn’t matter to you on whether she answered yes or no, it was just a way to go up and get her to talk to you, wasn’t it?” And he got this kind of panicked how the heck did she know look about him.
Weird, hmm?
Anyway. Food was good and the atmosphere was great, I can’t wait to go back. Tomorrow we’re going to see Tropic Thunder after I grammasit! YES! A non PG movie!!
