That’s Stella

I went on a date on Friday night. We met at this bar around the corner from my place. I only wanted to commit to drinks since I didn’t know this guy that well and in case he didn’t like me, or vice versa, I didn’t want that awkwardness of pretending to be interested for an entire meal. But when we met at the front of the bar, he suggested dinner and I figured I would take the risk!

To cut a long story short… we got along great. Dinner went swimmingly. He nearly choked on some spices but other than that, conversation and drinks flowed.

We continued getting to know each other and bar hopped around the West Village. We scored a couch at this bar and things got cosy. But I was pretty conscious of not wanting to really go there and kept my distance. A few beers later, we bar hopped to this brewery.

By this time I was sloshed. We were drinking at this bar and he kept inching forward towards me, his face getting closer to mine, but I kept moving back. We started drinking at the bar, and an hour later I was practically out the door trying to keep my distance. It’s not like I didn’t think he was cute, and we got along great, but in my head I kept thinking what a great guy friend he would be. I have plenty of girl friends here, but am seriously lacking in male friends which is strange because the majority of my friends in Perth are male and I miss them terribly. So the closer he got, the more I kept trying to convince myself if we kissed, there was no way we could just be friends. It would’ve been so easy to just pash him at the bar (haha I love the word ‘pash’) but in the long term, I thought a friendship would definitely be more rewarding.

Anyway he left me to go to the bathroom and whilst he was away I spot this HOT guy at the bar! I could not stop checking this guy out. He was gorgeous. So imagine my surprise when this hot guy at the bar starts walking towards me!!!!

I tried to regain some composure and made an effort to stand up straight and let go of the bar stool I had been clutching to for some balance. This guy strolls over and says to me

“Sorry I took so long. Where were we?”

So there IS such a thing as Beer Goggles!!!!
