I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

CW- my RA was under control!

Here is how it went:

We arrive to meet a bunch of people outdoors on a patio, and meet a nice woman right away. SHe is from Australia so we enjoy her accent. Well, the 3 of us got some food and sat down at a table with a man and his son! Yep, he brought his 22 year old son with him to a single parent meetup event. (?)

Anyway, we all make polite chit chat and then the man and his son go to have a cigar. The Aussie starts to tell her dating story but then we are told to head inside. Once we got inside, the scene changed and it was very cozy. I did see the 51 year old but he pretended he didn't recognize me. I went up and introduced myself (remember me? just saying hi!) and he said "oh yeah! That was fun wasn't it?" and I said "yes it was! looking forward to seeing what this is all about! Have a good night."

My friend J was into 2 different men. One was completely over the top, mr. giggolo wannabe, going up to every woman practically. He grabbed a tamborine from the band and started dancing with women. (he did grab me by the waist as he walked by but I was not interested even if J didn't like him!)

J said he would be "Mr. Right Now" and then started dancing with another guy, the European. Well, her tactic worked because Mr.Giggolo came right up and started grooving with her. My take was that he was insecure and all about getting validation from EVERY woman. Meanwhile, the European was having fun dancing with her and another brunette. He seemed shy but he liked her. I asked her if she would make a move and she said maybe, but she wants to see if he will send her a greeting through the meetup first.

The other guy was someone from the zoobrew. A smooth, kind, warm, good looking man who was born in the Phillipines (sp). I liked him for her but she said he goes to church and she is atheist. Bummer!

The Aussie met someone and the 2 were chatting. I stopped him as I saw him leaving. I caught him and asked if he liked her and he said yes, but he will be sending her an email/ greeting. He said he didn't ask her out because she was Australian and he wasn't sure if that was culturally appropriate. (WHAT??? Piano- enlighten me here!) I told him she definitely liked him, so he should send her a message for sure! He lit up and seemed happy to hear it. I told her he was going to be contacting her and she was happy. (Is this overstepping my bounds?) J said her body language did not show that she was into him, and Aussie said she didn't want to come on too eager or too strong.

So, no one for me...there were a couple of cuties but they were attached to other women all night, at the other end of the bar. I will find them on meetup and see if they're going to another one soon.

OK off to get some work done!
