I just struck out.

El Gato Was Right: the t-shirt

So, I was at the bar most of the night, drinking and flirting with the tall freckled sister of a friend. There was ass-grabbing and leering from both sides.

There was nothing redeeming about my pitch. I'm seeing someone who lives far away. She's seeing someone even further away (a former co-worker of mine), though I know she's been unfaithful. So, I lurked around her and our mutual friends until the bar was about to close.

I looked at her, "So," I asked, "What do you think?"

"What do I think about what?"

"You know." (Of course, I meant, let's go home.)

Moments later: "You're friends with my boyfriend." (An excuse; I'm not really pals with this guy.)

"Okay," I said. There was a hug and goodnights.

I don't care, but I sorta do. Probably just ego.

No biggie, you made your move, she was into the flirting but didn't wanna fuck you. Just chalk it up as some flirting practice.

Well, what did your girlfriend think? Maybe you shoudl give her a ring and see how, froma woman's point of view, you could have made a more attractive pitch.

Or how about her boyfriend? Dude, if anyone knows how to get her into bed, it's him. Give him a call.

Ouch, Haus.

I don't think I posted that to get better pick up lines. I was confessing.

Ever try to do something you shouldn't do and fail? How should you feel when you succeed? Or when you fail?

In this instance, I'm a little disapointed with myself for having tried to hook up with this girl in the first place, but relieved overall. Believe me, my life is far less complicated because I woke up alone this moring.

Yup. Sounds like getting knocked back was probably the best conclusion to the evening. (Not- I hasten to add- that I think you're a bastard or anything... just... you were drunk and, as drunk people do, attempting things you probably shouldn't have been attempting.)

Chalk it up to experience, and try to keep a rein on your libido when you're pissed in future! (Jesus, that sounds SO simple, doesn't it? Umm...)
