And another one bites the dust....

Last night, I had dinner with the girls in my pledge class at Iron Starr Urban BBQ. (If you haven't been there you need to go because it's AMAZING...I go there at least twice a month) There are six of us at dinner and we're sitting literally in the middle of the restaurant. As we're sitting there, something catches my eye, something beautiful. As I continue to listen to the girls talk at my table I continue to catch this tall, dark and handsome creature in the corner of my eye. I mention to the ladies at our table (who are all wearing rings on their left ring fingers) that I see something eye catching, they observe and just keep going. I pick up on the fact that they're not very amused so I continue talking and try to focus on combining bank accounts, going to the in-laws for Thanksgiving, and who's bringing their spouse to Vegas for the wedding. Me personally, I'm going to Vegas alone. Do you know how many single men are in Vegas on any given weekend?

Anywho, as we begin to wrap things up we decide that we need to get some pictures together. We haven't all gotten together, just us, in a long time. We need to find someone to take our picture so we can all be in it....hmmm, who might that be? So, after some encouragement from the girls, I ask him to take a picture of us. He comes over takes some pictures, we tell him thank you and he has small talk about why we are all together and where we went to school. As we're gathering our things to leave, he takes my jacket off the back of my chair and says, "Allow me." OK... so despite this is a small gesture, I'm completely flattered because chivalry died like 10 years ago. As he's doing this, I sarcastically say, "so do you have a girlfriend," and he says "actually, no I don't." (Is this really happening to me? a potentially nice, guy that's attractive, and single? I must be dreaming) Then he says, "we're going to McNellies after work, you should come." Like a school girl, I giggle and we proceed to leave. We get outside and the girls are all in favor of me going to McNellies, I have to remind them that I can't show up by myself. Out of six, I had one taker, thank goodness. So we proceed to McNellies.

I'll try to wrap this up, but there's some really good stuff here:

We order a beer and get a table, the boys show up like clockwork and sit at the bar right behind us, after about ten minutes they invite us to sit with them at the bar. It's boy1, boy2, me, and girl2... we're all laughing and talking. The two boys are hysterical which is a huge selling point. After awhile, boy1 (the one that caught my eye) starts to act irritated that boy2 is possibly out showing him with humor. We notice his change in attitude but continue to listen to the ridiculous stories of boy2. Before we know a group of "women" walk into the bar in sweatpants, hoodies, and bandannas. For a split second, we think the bar is getting robbed, but before I can make one of my awesome sarcastic comment one of the girls shouts out to boy1. Imagine my astonishment when he responds to "her." Eventually, we lose boy1 to the shims(that's she plus him) and boy2 to upset about why some girl in Norman hasn't called him, we decide it's time to leave.
As we're on our way to pick up my friends car she says to me, "You tend to like douchebags, attractive, but douchebags." I giggle, knowing how true that statement is.

So boy1, if you're reading this, hopefully it will be an eye opening experience for you. I wish you the best of luck.

And another one bites the dust...

I loved this recount of the night. It was very acurate. At this point we just say "Next" and continue the hunt for an attractive nondouchebag. Love ya
