Not_That_Innocent Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I had a FWB relationship with a guy that went sour and now I find myself longing to find someone to take his place. Not that I want to be FWB with the person I meet, I just want to get my mind off of the FWB. Besides, I enjoy attention from men. In my job I meet lots of men every day. The majority of them flirt with me, but I'm not comfortable meeting someone at work. I don't get out much, though so it's hard for me to meet men. When I'm out and about, say at the grocery store or something, I see men noticing me. But it seems awkward to meet someone at the grocery store, so I let it slide. Yesterday I was thinking about a place I could go to meet men. I didn't want to go to a bar because I am by myself and it seems weird to walk into a bar alone. So I decided to go to a bar at a restaurant. There were four men there, not including the bartender. I have been to the restaurant before to pick up carry-out, so the bartender recognized me. That made me feel comfortable enough to actually hang out. As I was sizing up the men I could hear two of them talking about me, or at least I think they were talking about me. They were trying to talk low, but I could still hear. I heard one of them say that I was good looking. He was pretty cute, so I made eye contact with him a few times. Unfortunately, he and his friend were preparing to leave. Dang! Before they left though, the friend (not the cute one) made the comment to me that I should come and hang out there on Saturday night. I thought cool - there's a chance I will run into the cute one again. There were still a few guys there and before I knew it we were all talking like old friends. Well, mostly I just listened, but when they said something funny or interesting, I made sure to interject. I had my eye on one of them. He was older, kind of quiet and I tried to make good eye contact but the other guys were so outgoing they kind of messed things up with me and the older guy. Oh, and get this. One of the guys says to me that he is my neighbor. I thought he was just playing, but then he mentioned specifics as far as the people he has seen come over to my place. OMG! Here I am trying to meet men and I never even noticed him. He's not really my type anyway, but that told me I need to be a little more observant. I really wanted to talk to the older quiet guy, but another guy (not the neighbor) asked if he could come and sit next to me to talk. He was kind of cute, so I said sure. We talked for a while. He just got back from Iraq like two weeks ago. He is a marine. I enjoyed talking to him and was intrigued by the fact that he is a soldier, but there was no chemistry. Dang! I did get his phone number though, just in case. I'm so glad I decided to go out last night. I realized that meeting men is not as hard as I thought. I just need to open my eyes and look around more. I might go back there Saturday night ... maybe. I'm hoping the hot guy or older guy will be there.
