Boy Meets Boy

I usually find myself at the gay bar on Friday nights laying my head on the table in utter boredom. One night, I was hanging out with friends when this really hot guy started walking my way. We did that whole awkward walk/dance where you don’t know who is turning which direction. We both laughed and smiled and began talking and exchanged numbers. We met up for dinner the next night and he asked me why I had been ignoring his calls. At this point I was a little lost. His tone turned very nasty and I still had no idea what he was talking about. He grabbed his drink and tossed it in my face in front of a packed restaurant as he stormed out. I was furious, not because I was just embarrassed in public, but because he just ruined the new Marc Jacobs shirt that I just bought. With rum and Coke dripping off my face I got up and tripped on the foot of the chair. The whole restaurant watched as I shook it off and said I was okay. Months later, he apologized for having confused me with someone else.

ah yes the walk dance thing.. wait, what?

gay guys have it so rough.. so let me guess, you went and put on a new shirt and then returned to the same club and found a different “hot guy” to work you over?

LOL! well not exactly a date…but it can be one of those funny meet cute stories. It’s almost like it could have been a romantic comedy…if Hollywood actually made those about gays.

“meeting up for dinner the next night” sounds like a date. :)

how did you end up finding him months later? that’s where I got lost.

His social life must be a whirlwind (a gentle way of saying “what a ditzy, absentminded slut”) to confuse the actions of one date with the next. (HEY! I recognize that Marc Jacobs shirt– YOU’VE been ducking my calls! Take THAT!– SPLASH–)

With a drama queen like that, consider yourself luck to discover it on the first date!

A wonderful time had by all. This website is really bringing people together in joy and love.

Misanthropy, would it have made a difference if it was a girl who just had her expensive dress ruined by a rude date who confused her with someone else? It’s still a crappy thing to do to someone on a date, regardless of the gender of the people involved, so why do you feel the need to be so snide just because the narrator is gay?

P.S., the “walk dance thing” is when you and another person are walking towards each other and try to get out of the other one’s way, but end up stepping to the same side they do. It’s awkward and has happened to everyone at least once, unless you never leave your house, in which case…
