astigmatism + alcohol= poor, poor judgment
Posted by thejinius under dating
Soooooo remember the random dude I met on Saturday? Um yeah, I barely remember either. Well, he texted me the other day and apparently we work in similar industries and his office is like TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM MINE.
We’re meeting for drinks tonight.
But now I’m worried. I barely remember how I got home on Saturday night let alone what this dude looks like. Plus, the bar we were at was very dark and oh, did I mention that I inhaled an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF RED WINE before heading there???
I’m praying that he has a full set of teeth. At least I know he is over 21 since we’re meeting for drinks. Oh, god, please don’t tell me he just turned 21.
Is it too late to cancel?
I should have been my usual stank self on Saturday. This is how I get into trouble!!!! By being too nice to strangers!
Anyhoo, will be sure to let you know how it turns out. I may just have to drink a couple of glasses of wine before meeting him in order to quell my anxiety.
And if it goes poorly I can now add another neighborhood to my list of places I have to avoid for fear of running into formers. So far I have Williamsburg, Park Slope, the East Village, Bushwick–shoot, I should just move out of New York.

I once snogged a bloke I knew vaguely from work (didn’t work in the same department but I’d seen him in passing occasionally) and then he text me and asked me out. I said yes, then one day a couple of days later, he came up to me in work to finalise plans and I realised I didn’t remotely fancy him! I ended up texting him the day of the date and telling him I had a migraine. I just couldn’t stomach the idea of seeing him again, I felt like such a bitch though! Hope it worked out better for you!
