Last night, I went out briefly. Some friends go to a bar regularly, I have joined them a few times. I am not a bar person: I don’t like the smoke, I don’t drink much. But sometimes I try to be social. And I flirted some with someone I’d met before, a friend of a friend, and we kissed as I left, which was nice, because I have not kissed in a while but . . . it was not a very good kiss. I don’t know if it was me, or him, or what.
I do not usually blog about this, as we can tell by the total lack of my blogging about this in general, but I haven’t really figured out what I think or want. (Both of the friends who go to this bar regularly phoned to ask me what happened, and the conversations were sadly anticlimactic.)
I am not very good at meeting people.

Sorry it wasn’t what you were hoping for. Maybe you’re being too hard on yourself and your expectations are too high for a first encounter? I dunno. It does sound like you had fun during the night, and a bit of awkwardness need not be the kiss of death. But then again, trying to force something that isn’t right is no good at all.

I don’t know. Every time James Bond goes into a bar he meets someone, and she introduces herself as Pussy Galore and … and yet some people go to bars and sit around all night waiting for something to happen, and nothing happens at all and eventually the bar closes and they have to go home.

Oh, I’m not actually complaining. I think the problem was actually how much he had had to drink, which was a lot.
And I did have fun, and it’s not necessarily the kiss of death, and though I wouldn’t mind a relationship, I also wouldn’t mind friends with benefits without the friend part.
Cougar, I do not normally go out trolling for guys.

Yeah, I know — and you don’t get involved in plots to drop nerve gas on Fort Knox and steal all the gold, either — not that that’s necessarily a great way to meet people….

No, no. Never nerve gas. But I daren’t detail my actual plans on here.

See, if you go to a bar you meet people who drink. If you go to the park you meet people who walk their dogs (also birdwatchers). If you plot to rob Fort Knox you might get to meet James Bond, but first you meet Goldfinger and other people who like gold, and then at the end of the book you get arrested (but not in the movie). Where was I going with this? Um … I guess first you should decide what kind of guy you want to meet….
