Life is funny.

Tonight at work, something funny went down.  One of my first customers caused me to take notice.  She said she was waiting on someone and would like a drink. I happily gave her my favorite beer on tap after a question or two about what she would like. She loved it.  In the past I would have been ready to chat her up for we must have a lot in common if we like the same beer.  I have  been down that road before an decided to just sit back for awhile.

A few minutes later her guest arrived and I greeted her and served her a bottle of wine I really like. The one who arrived had great energy and just had me smiling with our interaction.  I had even forgot about the nights promotion.  It was Winesday, and any bottle purchase can get a free charcuterie plate. I failed to offer it to my new guest.
Soon enough I am selling a trio of ladies a trio of half bottles when I realize I failed to inform my earlier special guest that a free charcuterie plate was available for her.  Given the information she acts a bit appalled.  Which I thought was cute.

I get her all set up and then I decide it's time to peel that onion. Ever so gently I try to get to know this girl with gumption just a little more. Good banter with her and her friend who was still drinking my favorite tap beer.  

I'm not exactly sure how we got on the topic of today's dating world tho I do recall us talking about all the social sites/apps we were on collectively.

We all shared some good laughs and I was a little surprised I hadn't stumbled on to them on said electronic stings things. This also caused me to consider that maybe those things are all fun and fantasy and not real anyhow.

After a bit of wine and good conversation the girl we will call, "just say yes" told me all about her current foray into the insanity we call dating.

I laughed and decided I really liked her adventurousness. She had decided to go out with anyone who asked her out.  On at least one date with anyone that asked her out on one of the online romantic outlets she was subscribed to. Then after said date(s) she was blogging about them.

I'll admit I was a bit flabbergasted. If you're reading this then you know I be been blogging about dates for years. It was her guerrilla warfare attitude about it that I found fascinating. I asked her if I could read her blog and she was kind enough to acquiesce.

I couldn't wait to read it.

Finally, hours later after a few failed attempts to take a look, I found the URL on the piece of paper she gave me before she left.

I went. I read. I smiled.  I laughed.  I posted this blog in her comments and wrote this post. If you made it here, first of all thanks for reading, secondly you did not tell me you would say yes to all invitations for a date.

I think you're fun, I enjoy your spirit, and I wanted to know if you would like to have a drink with me?
