Sometimes I amaze myself.

Between my successful use of cheesy pick-up lines, and getting myself in the most random situations, I continually do things I wouldn't normally think I would be capable of.

It happened again this weekend.

Ended up going out with a buddy of mine, and his girlfriend, to the Big Gay Club.

They introduced me to this guy who works there.

'Kinda cute' was my initial impression.

Cut to two hours later:

I run into him, stop him by the shoulders, and proceed to have the following conversation:

'Hey. Wait, what's your name again?'

'Travis.'

The names have been changed to protect the not-so innocent.

'Ah. That's right. You know, you're kinda cute. Wait...'

'Yes?'

'Are you gay or straight?

You'd be surprised at the mixed clientele at Big Gay Club.

Plus the 'fluid sexuality' of its patrons.

'Gay.'

'Single or involved?'

'Single.'

'Score!! Hey, do you want to go on a date?'

[?]

Normally, I would never use the 'D' word when trying to get in on some action.

And, I was amazed how forward and direct I just was.

Usually, I would have a little more 'game', but this time it was a the-social-brain-filter-is-not-working type of game.

'Sure, give me your number.'

Instead, I gave him my phone to input his number.

[And called it to give him mine, so that I could:

A] Verify it was the real, right number.

B] Give him the chance to contact me if he was indeed interested.

I sat there kind of shocked I invoked the 'D' word, and that he agreed.

[I felt like I looked like a total schlub that night].

What made this even more out of character for me, was at the beginning of the night, I was talking with my buddy, about how I was over, emotionally investing in relationships with people.

And yet there I was, two hours later, getting a guy's digits.

We've since been in contact, so we'll see what happens.

I probably jinxed it by posting about it though.

It's also kind of funny, because I'm not consciously really looking for a relationship, or another booty call right now.

But he's pretty darn cute, and my size, for once.
