The Verdict On Dating In Public
The answer is yes! I’ll tell it to you the same way I told my friend last night (as we dined at La Palma- absolutely delicious, but Mexican food never prepares you for dating). Anyway, you may remember that yesterday I was trying to decide if online dating in public was fantastic or sketchtastic. In the meantime, a Beautiful Bearded Barista (B3) was walking around, daring to catch me. So guess what happened?I decided to go ahead and log on, even if I was risking that B3 would see me. So I go onto Singlesnet and I was updating something in my profile (interests: B3), when none other than B3 himself stares over my shoulder.
“Hey, are you on Singlesnet?” he asks me.
“Yes, I am.” At that point, I was about thirty seconds away from literally screaming.
“Cool. I just joined.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. Totally.”
“How’s it gone so far?”
He stroked his stubble a little and I wished I was his hand. Or the stubble.
“It’s ok. But I haven’t met the right girl yet.”
Girl! Damn! I listened to B3 a little longer, thinking that maybe when he’d said “girl” he meant to say “skinny african american gay man who likes Mexican food at La Palma”. But he never fixed himself. So fate didn’t squirm its way into my dating- yet. I did send some interesting messages out, at least, to make up for my B3 rejection…sigh.
