On Wednesday nights, we have a favorite place for trivia. A local Aussie and Kiwi bar. It's the best. We go to hang out with friends, but sometimes we meet guys...
Once we ended up sitting next to a guy at the bar and we talked a bit. He asked for our number which surprised us because he didn’t seem that interested (or nice), but we figured why not?
We’ll tell you why not. (Why don't we ever learn this lesson?)
On Friday afternoon he called. He asked what we were up to and if we wanted to hang out that night. We had plans to go to a small classical concert downtown and invited him. We were going solo - why not turn it into a date? He said he needed to figure out what he was up to and he’d call back.
Wait, wasn't "figuring it out" what we were doing? We said, “OK. Give us a call later.” What else do you say?
He called back when we were headed to the concert. He was contemplating joining, but was hedging. We suggested a drink afterward. He said, “Why don’t you give me a call after and we can figure things out then?”
Um… OK? Why not just make plans now? The concert would be shortf! We really don’t care anymore. He’s annoying and immature. Was he honestly still trying to line up the perfect Friday night? Hitting the clubs. Partying ‘til dawn. Really? And was in his late 30s.
For some reason, after the show we call him back. Don’t want to be rude. Silly girl.
The conversation goes something like this:
Us: “Hi. Are you still up for getting a drink?”
Indecision Boy: “I don’t know…”
Us: “OK… Leaving the show now and heading home so…”
Indecision Boy: “It’s just that I sort of have this thing going on…with this other girl.”
Us: “Uh…” (What?!!!? Why are you cruzin' bars?)
Indecision Boy: “She’s in school and she’s away right now. We're OK to see other people, but I don’t know if I want to do that. I mean I am really into her and she might come back to Seattle eventually. But on the other hand I’m really not into long distance relationships. I mean, have you ever heard of them working out? What do you think?"
Us: (OMG – are we really having this conversation? When did we become Dr. Phil?) “ Sure. Sometimes. If it’s meant to be and there is something real there, then yes, it can work out.”
Indecision Boy: “Hmmm… yeah. I don’t know.”
Us: “Well. It sounds like you have some stuff to figure out. Call us if you make up your mind....” (Not really. Don't call us. Ever. Ya freakshow.)
Us: “Hi. Are you still up for getting a drink?”

Wonder if his long distance relationship worked out...he was alone at the bar on Saturday.
