Pick up lines gone awry

Sat. February 7, 2009

When I went to Denver for drinks with some friends the other night, I think I got hit on. Sort of. While heading to the bathroom, I walk by the bar, and this guy nods and smirks at me and announces, “Not Bad!”

Now admittedly, it’s not self-esteem central with me, but, that’s it? “Not bad?” Not, “Whoa, hot stuff” or “This bitch is forshizzle.” For the record, he was white and 50ish, but nonetheless “Not bad,” is pretty much like saying to a girl, “What’s up there, mediocre?” Or “You are breathtakingly ordinary.”  There’s a point where I’d just prefer a really crappy pick up line like about how exhausted I must look from running in one’s dreams.

On a completely unrelated side note, does it concern anyone else that stores are running out of gun ammo? What the heck does that mean? Though it does remind me that it’s probably time to learn to run better, and not just in the dreams of strange men.

Are you from Tennessee? Cause you’re the only 10 I see.
Your dad must be a thief…cause it looks like he stole the stars in the sky and put them in your eyes.
I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave.

Considered yourself hit on…and creeped out.
