Apparently I Attract the Weirdos!

So the other night my roommate and I went out for a few drinks early. You know just getting in some personal girl time, if we happen on some guys then so be it. I was open to it. We get to the bar and we are sitting there in enjoying our cheep beer when I look across the bar and exchange glances with a young fellow. He looked nice and presentable. He wasn't there alone, so he didn't scream of alcoholism like a handful of other guys in the bar. Anyway I am minding my own business hanging out with some great people and I keep making eye contact with this guy. Like hello if you are going keep looking at me, get off your ass walk around the bar and say hello. What does he do? He sits....so along comes these two older guys. Now I'm not talking older like 30, I would say more like 40s and they sit down next to this lazy ass. Oh and did I mention this was a college bar. Not a place where you would find an older gentlemen. I look back over and all four of these guys are looking at me and there is some pointing involved. It was clear that they were talking about me. I mind my own business and go back to my friend and our conversation. All of sudden out of nowhere there is one of the older men standing right in front of me. He opens with this line "I think I have seen you before. Are you a singer?" I respond quickly saying "Nope I used to sing in high school but I doubt you saw me then." Not listening to my answer he insisted that I was in a band that he saw. Then he starts to sing to me. This man standing in a somewhat empty college bar (meaning there were only like fifty people there) is screaming at the top of his lungs Ahhhmmmaaazing Graaccce and he continued the song. Oh and by the way got the lyrics wrong.  One of the most well know songs in America and he didn't know the lyrics. Anyway I am clearly embarrassed and it takes a lot of me to get embarrassed very easily He leaves after he understands that I'm not having any of this. The staring guy starts to apologize across the bar. Congratulations staring guy you can open your mouth. The four of them again begin to discuss what just happened and all of a sudden again guess who's back.  I need to reiterate how unattractive this man is. He begins to sing shortly in my ear and I push him away. Trying to act like that wasn't a clear hint that I'm not interested, he asks me if he has a better chance with me than the staring guy across the bar. I tell him flat out without holding back "He definitely has a better chance" This man is clearly taken back. He then asks why. I simply state "He is my age" but it really was that he was hotter. This awkward encounter finally ends, leaving me and my friend dying laughing. Moral of the story kids is that letting weird people approach you will always be funny in some way and if a guy does not get off his ass to come over to say hi then he is not worth an eye flutter at all.

Stay Classy!
