Digger

Friday night, while at happy hour (which is always happy, but way more than an hour), my friends caught a blonde man staring at me from across the bar. Seeing that they are all in relationships, they brought him over and introduced him to me.

My initial reaction was that he seems nice and he's attractive. He's 31, works in marketing, blond. But that being said, the conversation was a little bland, but that can happen while being pressured to actually converse with my friends listening to every word we said. So we moved off to the side a bit and continued our conversation.

He lives in Manhattan, is single (which is a big change in my record), and grew up in the Midwest. I still found myself thinking "eh", and then he said the magic words.

"I bought my apartment this past year".

Suddenly he was really attractive.


Ummm...what does this say about me?
