way cool and so true. We are all aimlessly going throug life wishing and hoping to intmitely connect with someone - anyone - and I think that drinking makes it easier to lower your standards thus making it easier to find that connection even if it isn't authentic, real and true. The desperate need of finding companionship screws up our ability to decipher the difference between deep connections with people and shallow ones.

ha ha,i really liked the layout and what usually goes between he and she
i think you were hinting at something..the poor boy was jobless
and felt his inferiority looking at the boyfriend..
i was expecting a sudden turn of events at the end
perhaps you could add some more
i would not want the poor boy left sad and empty handed,ha ha
i so enjoyed it ,really
lovely write..

Saturday night all over again! I am the one usually drinking a water though, haha.

[misha]

Thats wrong lol . Great job

[Angelheaded Hipster]

Yeah, thats about right. I found it very easy to read, and I did laugh at the guy trying his best to say anything. Striking up conversations with strangers can be difficult, but you know....re-reading it...you didnt give him any pick up lines to use. Thats rather refreshing!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess his approach sucked, funny man. Do you think this is typical? I like the picture.
