I was out about a month ago with a group of people for my friends 21st birthday party. I had never been to this bar before but I knew I had an old friend I went to college with my freshman year that worked there. She was sitting at the bar when I got there so I went over and talked to her and we ended up talking for quite a while. Finally got back over to the group I was with and ordered a Woodchuck. I had noticed that a guy came in and sat with my friend and it looked like her boyfriend I had seen in pictures but I wasn't really sure. About an hour passes by and she calls me back over. She introduces me to, what I thought was her boyfriend, her boyfriends brother. She said he wanted to buy us a shot and it was already sitting right there on the bar. An ice cold shot of Patron. This guy must have read my mind because cold tequila shots of Patron with lime and salt are my favorite. In my mind I was thinking, alright good start. THEN he started saying that he knew me. He kept spurting out things; "Your step dad races stock cars." ...yes " and the facts just kept pouring out. I'm not really sure what my face looked like but he finally realized he was freaking me out and I had no clue who the f*^% he was! I apologized for not recognizing him and I really didn't know what else to say. After that awkwardness was out of the way the three of us chatted for a little bit and then I went back to my group of friends. I went back to the table and got on Facebook. He said that we had talked on there so I wanted to see if we were still friends. We weren't. I put my phone back in my purse and tried to not think about it. My friend whos 21st birthday it was decided she wanted to head to another bar but I decided to stay where we were with a couple of people. After she left "Mystery Man" (This is what I have decided to name him.) came over and asked if I wanted to play pool. I SUCK at pool and I let him know that but he insisted I was his partner anyways. We played a couple of games but I didn't converse with him that much because I was kind of weirded out and I wanted to talk to the people I was with instead. It was around 12:30AM when I decided to head home and I wanted to make my exit quick. I just knew Mystery Man was going to ask me for my number so I wanted to try and avoid that. I did. I said my goodbyes fast, thanked him for the drinks, told him to have a good night and walked out the door fast. Fast forward to the next morning. I have a Facebook friend request from him. I accept and right away he sends me a private message.
- So...just wanted to say it was good
to see you last night! Thank you for keeping me entertained. Speaking of.. and I didn't want to
put you on the spot last night, but I wanted to give you my number. We
should get together and get a drink, I had a good time last night.. and
maybe we can hone your pool skills as well.
I didn't reply for 6 days. I didn't know what to say. I wasn't really looking to date anyone at the time or even talk to any guys at all. I usually have no problem turning guys down but he was pretty nice, although the meeting was awkward, and I didn't know what to say!
- Heyyyyy. Sorry it's taken so long for me to respond, how rude of me. I
don't really go out to drink unless it's for a special occasion. My
little one is just shy of 5 months so I'm not comfortable leaving her
much yet
Had a good time with you though and maybe in the future I'll see you sometime .
Wow. I sounded so stupid. He then replied back. Right away of course.
- Ok
sounds good! And I don't blame you on not wanting to leave her for
long. I'm always down for a good night though. Well ill give you my
number and maybe you'll use it if you feel like letting your hair down
some night. 417-***-**42.
I didn't reply. I felt bad but maybe if I felt spontaneous in the future I would text him. Eight days later I got another message from him.
- Hey.. this is the last message I send ya before I feel like "that guy"
but if you wanna come down to viola we are camping down here? Katelyn
and Dustin are down here. Just lemme know. Ttyl.
Remember Mr. Perfect? Well he had promised me that we would do something fun when baby went away to he fathers for the first time and we had planned to go to the lake. Well turns out that weekend wasn't a good weekend for the lake for him. He had some weird excuses but I blew it off and tried to come up with some other plans. I posted a status on Facebook about wanting to go to the lake or pool with someone. Mystery Man obviously saw that and jumped to the opportunity. At that time I had no other plans yet and I was NOT going to sit at home alone so I messaged him back sending my number. Long story short, I ended up going to the lake and camping with my family instead of him and his friends but now he had my number. He is always wanting to go out with me so I'm sure this is not the last you will hear about Mystery Man.
