Batting 400

So I wonder these days what everyone else’s batting average is when it comes to meeting guys in bars and then having them “call”. So I started keeping track and right now my average is 400. Here are the stories to go with the statistics…

First one was about a year ago. Faithful blog readers first met him in retarded or not, you be the judge. I won’t go into how he turned out (read the past if you want) but it started out promising. Las tres amigas were out watching my friend’s band. We were having quite the lovely time. SZ was quite flirtatious and funny all evening. He asked for my number and I gave it to him. I didn’t take his. He actually called the very next day. We went out several times. I was one for one!

Number two… I think. I can’t really remember any others in between so, when I went to NYC this past May, I’ll count DC boy as number two. I was having a fabulous time at my sister’s bachelorette party. DC boy has been drinking and wants us to hang with him. Not going to happen… I’m busy here partying with my sis. I tell him I don’t do random out of town hook ups. He tells me he from near my town. He asks for my number. I call his phone from mine. He texts me two more times that evening, trying to get me to give up my new location. I never hear from him again. I guess I coulda called, but I was pretty drunk and not sure he'd be worth it. Batting average drops to 500.

Number three. I’m out on a Friday night and I look absolutely rocking. At least 3 different guys show interest in me – so I’m pretty sure I was looking good. Like an absolute fool, I listen to my friends and chat with the player. My gut told me he was a sleaze but the alcohol silenced the gut. I went home and he wasn’t invited. But we exchanged numbers as he walked me to the car. Got a few stupid texts from him later that night asking me if I was thinking of him and if he could come over. Ugh! I was glad he never called again. But it dropped my average to 333.

Number four. It was a low key evening listening to music with BFE. DB keeps checking me out. Cute enough. He eventually drinks up enough courage to sit down. Sits pretty close to me and keeps touching me. He likes the same music and some of the same geeky movies as me. We seem to have a few other things in common, too. I’m not swooned by him, but think we could have a good time. He walks me outside and doesn’t even try to take me home. Suggests getting together the next day or some time soon. We exchange numbers. I was actually surprised and a little disappointed DB didn’t call. Average drops to 250!

Number five. I was out celebrating another year of existence on this dreadful planet. He’s cute enough and very brave. Looks at me smiles and then after I smile back, he heads over to talk. Even if he wasn’t cute, I’d go out with him just for having a pair! He’s a bit dorky but we have a lot of similar interests. We talk all evening long. He walks me to the car and tells me to call him after church so we can go hiking the next day. So maybe this doesn’t count as a “call”. But, he answers when I call and we go out. So I’m counting it as a hit. Batting average = 400.

Hmmm…either I need to go out to more bars or I need to find somewhere else to meet guys!
