1. 2 days ago I read an email from my ex that she is now engaged.
2. Today I was extremely sweaty coming back from the gym and my hot neighbor, looking even hotter than usual, walks out of her apartment just as I am walking up and very enthusiastically says, "hi, how are you?" and the best I could come up with was, "Good, how are you?" I felt like a fuking retard.
3. I went over to this girl's house that I am quasi dating and had a terrible time.
On my drive back I was feeling so shitty. I wanted to come back home, find something to eat and play online games until I got sleepy, but something inside me snapped and I said screw that! That is for losers and I am tired of being a loser. Something has to change.
I went to my apartment, changed my shoes to boots, put on a little cologne and I still wore my cheesy brown t-shirt anyway. I figured if I can sarge in this shirt I can in anything.
Then I go to the closest bar and I do a circle around the bar and do not notice a single cute girl. I'm about to walk out of the bar and I see this guy waving his phone at me as if he's saying something smart ass to me. He is at a table of like 10 people. I think to myself oh fuck no I'm not walking out of this bar like a pussy with you saying shit to me so I walk right over to him and lean down and say, I'm sorry were you talking to me. He then says no he was motioning to someone else. I said it very nicely to him in case it was a mistake and I guess it was. So then I introduce myself and talk to him a bit. This bar had karaoke so then he asks me if I am the DJ. I guess my confidence level made it seem like I should be.
So now I'm feeling kind of confident that I opened a set at a table of like 10 people. I order a beer and sit down at a booth by myself but facing the stage. Then I see this couple together. The girl walks away and starts hitting on another guy she seemed to know, asking him out. When she went to the stage I opened the set with her "date" and told him his girl was hitting on another guy. I figure us guys have to stick together. He said it was okay they were just friends. So I spent some time talking to this guy. Then he stares at a girl that walks by. She goes and sits at a table of 5 girls. I say to him, let's go talk to them. He wouldn't go so I said I'm going in alone then. I immediately went in and introduced myself. Two of the girls were drunk that were closest to me and not very interesting. I tried to entertain them but they were really lame. One of them got smart with me about something grammar related so I said you seem to suck with numbers so I bet you can spell. Spell Lexicon. She didnt know what it meant. She made some comment about Lephrechauns. The great part was that my target knew the word and was shocked her friend didn't. I pretty much ignored my target but she was very cute and actually smiling and being social. Then some bonehead started giving me dirty looks (obviously jealous) and he moved in on the brunette (my target). With her out of the picture I didn't want to stick around talking to the sticks in the mud so I ejected and went back to talking to the two "friends." I was just about to leave when my target went to the restroom and walked right by me. I waited until she was coming back and then I stepped in front of her and asked her if her friends were always so boring. She said no they were all tired and bored and didn't know where to go. I commented on her hair and then I reached to grab it. I said may I touch it, but I didn't wait for an answer, I just put my hand in it, felt it and gently tugged at the back. I think she did not know how to react but she didn't stop me either. Hey, I'm new at this, so I know it was a rough move, but I think it worked on a small level. I was running out of things to say so I suggested that if she had any fun friends she meet me and some of my friends (I only have like 2 haha but she doesn't know, that is where some of you guys may come in) at a bar in Uptown this weekend. She said yes. I then said she needed to give me a way to get a hold of her and she gave me her phone number. I explained to her that I love math, memory tests and brain teasers so I would like to just memorize her number. Lucky for me I was able to. When I got to my car I texted her and said, "Just checking my memory. <my>. She responded with, "That's me."
Keep in mind, I'm 40 and this girl is 23. There is hope! Obiviously she is too young for me so I may be willing to share this very cute girl with a super sweet personality and a great smile with one of you

Just don't run any canned stuff on her because I had to use some to keep rolling

Anyway, it was a victory for me.
