When Staring Isn't Enough
A couple of weekends ago, my friend and I went bar hopping in LA. On our last stop, we headed into, in my opinion, the shittiest dive bar off of Sunset Blvd. Needless to say, I wasn’t looking forward to it, yet my friend convinced me that I should turn the frown upside down and make the most out of the evening. Once inside, we realized it was cash only, and neither of us had any bills. Being the resourceful person that she is, my friend went around the bar chatting up any guy she could so that he could buy us drinks.
While she was doing this, I entertained myself by taking a look at the bar crowd before me. There, by the pool table, stood the hottest guy in a red flannel. He had dark brown hair with green eyes, olive skin and a bit of scruff that even I could enjoy. Man, he was so handsome, especially for a hipster.
It was totally one of those moments when you see someone and you’re so physically attracted to him or her that you blush. And we both blushed, but then I quickly turned away because I didn’t want to seem too excited. As a means to keep it cool, I waited a couple of minutes before I looked back. When I did, I caught him staring at me, but this time with a grin. We totally eye-fucked for a solid ten seconds and it was hot. At this point I thought it would only be moments before he would walk over to talk to me. But he didn’t and I was left with a big “WTF?” above my head for the rest of the evening.
Why didn’t the red flannel grow a pair and talk to me? Is it cause he’s so hot girls usually talk to him? Obviously I have interested written on my face. "Well, why didn't you just talk to him," you may be asking. I guess I could have, but guys hate that shit. Okay, some men like it when the women are the aggressor, but generally the males love to do the chasing and subsequent conquering. From what I’ve experienced, it doesn’t work when it’s done the other way around.
Am I right, am I right? Or do I just seem to fall for cocky assholes? Tell me what I need to do to ensure success.
