My brother and his wife Becky must be my lucky charm. We went out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Danville and we decide to sit at the bar and order food. My brother is hilarious and we are having such a good time. It is like that scene out of the movie When Harry Met Sally! We are having such a great time and everyone in the bar is saying, “I want what they are having.”
I am on my way to the ladies room when I pass a table with a good-looking man sitting alone sipping on a slightly dirty martini. He made a comment about how much fun we seem to be having. I tell him that my brother and his wife are visiting from Wisconsin and we are catching up. He tells me that he is originally from Milwaukee. He seems nice, so I tell him that there is a bar stool open next to us if he would like to join us. To my surprise he accepts and moves his drink to the bar. When I return, my brother and he are in a full-blown discussion about being Cheese Heads. I was right. He is a really nice man. We end up talking for about an hour and he then asks me if he can have my phone number. I gladly give it to him.
As he gets up to leave, another man sits down at the bar and the same thing happens. He engages in the conversation with us and then asks for my phone number. This time, I don’t have that warm fuzzy feeling about the man, so I simply tell him that I hope to run into again sometime, but I don’t feel comfortable giving him my number at this time.
What did I learn from this experience? First, my brother can never go home!!! He is great for my dating life. Secondly, when you are having fun, you attract people to you. I always tell people not to try so hard. This was simply engaging with people and having no expectations. The result is that I will probably have a date with a really nice guy…soon.
