Meetup Event to 2nd Base?

So on my Vision Board one of the things I wanted to do and basically need to do is date more and be more social. So I went to a Meetup/Happy Hour Event in D.C. It was fun, I wore my green sleeveless dress. <<SIDEBAR>>First I wanna say, I never was comfortable showing my arms but since losing weight and actually doing the weight lifting arm exercises 3 times a week worked! I love my arms! I had a habit of printing out exercises moves but never doing them. It's amazing that if you actually do the exercises consistently it actually works! Anyhow sorry back to my story at hand....

The Meetup Event at a rooftop club had the purpose of meeting new people and raising money for the homeless and they had a great turnout. The crowd was supposed to include people in their 30s and 40s but there definitely were older individuals and younger which brings me to the story here. I met up with my cousin and another close friend and we were conversing with people. The first guy we spoke with had to be 2 inches from my cousins face, he reminded me of the "close talker" in that episode of Seinfeld. Well when he finally had to use the men's room and gave us a break a young guy came up to us asking which one of his friends we thought was the hottest. I'm thinking, he and his crew definitely were under the age of 30 crowd because that question is very high schoolish but I digress we answered the question. My cousin and I agreed that it was the Blonde Adonis sitting on the couch. I mean this kid was ridiculous. So next thing we know he is calling this kid over and he looked even better close up! Insane, great hair you can run your fingers through but the sides were close shaven, biceps and you could tell he had a six pack and a smile that made, me at least, feel like 12 year old girl. But one thing we noticed Adonis couldn't stay still which made me think he was definitely on something medicinal (legal or illegal I don't know). Oh did I mention that he and his friends work for a medical establishment? They all came to the happy hour in their medical smocks, I'm sure to show that they are the sh*t and work in the medical profession. So funny. Anyhow Adonis eventually left and went dancing on the dance floor. He basically danced the whole night through. Well he had 3 other friends also in the medical profession, another Caucasian kid, a "Harry Belafonte lookalike" and an African American kid. We spoke to them for a bit then danced for a bit. Then the club switched over the music to lounge music indicating we needed to get the hell out, party is over. This was around 9:30/10:00 pm. So my cousin, and our friend and I walked outside the club.

As we are leaving who do we see getting into a taxi fan. The medical crew! They asked us to go with and said they were headed to another club and would we like to join. Now mind you, Adonis was there and cute "Harry Belafonte" so we said what the hell. Now the next part of this story I advise no young lady to do on their own. Honestly we shouldn't have done it as a group as well. Instead of heading to the club we were heading to "Belafonte's" place. The reason being he had to change. So we were like ummmmm o.....k...... We were very hesitant but we ended up going anyways. When we went to "Belafonte's" place, Adonis was there, the kid who sparked the conversation was there, another Caucasian male was there and an African american male was there. All five guys were with us at the Meetup. Anyhow they were taking they're sweet ass time changing! I mean they put on music, and asked us if we wanted to smoke (and I don't mean cigarettes). In unison we ladies said "NOPE." So they asked if we wanted a drink, we also said "NOPE," again. Honestly I felt like I was watching a movie that was either a comedy or beginnings of a tragic story. These guys seem cool and I didn't get any bad vibes from them but you never know. Anyhow, the Caucasian kid left and so did the kid who introduced us so all. So all that was left was the African American guy who was into our friend. Adonis who was into all of us and Belafonte who was into me. 

These guys were definitely trying to get some but doing a poor job. I mean Belafonte left the room for second and came back shirtless. I mean seriously! LOL But <<SIDEBAR>> Belafonte did have a great body, six pack and all but I digress. Belafonte and I danced a bit and O.k. just so we're clear I had to look up 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Base in regards to relationships to make sure I'm using the right terms correctly. Went to wiki answers states that 2nd base is defined as " 2. rubbing, touching, normally over clothes, ( http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_definition_of_each_base_-_first_second_and_third ).", Which I would say Belafonte got to with me and our friend and Adonis (the African American kid feel asleep LOL) danced a bit and my cousin well she's in a relationship so she kept to herself. 

Long ass story short we ended up leaving because the Washington D.C. Metro system for the 100th time were doing track work and I had to shuttle between two stations which meant getting home was going to be a nightmare and very late on my own. We tell the guys we gotta go, went outside, "Harry Belfonte" walked us out but asked us to wait they were coming. We waited 30 seconds and left. Belfonte called asking why we left and we (with the permission of the taxi driver) blamed it on the taxi driver. Then I lost the connection. I went to the metro station and surprisingly Belfonte called me back asking for me to return and I told him I'm halfway home and said he would hit me back the following weekend. That was 3 weeks ago and I've yet to hear back which is totally cool and what I totally expected.

But let me say I had a blast! It's been a while since I've interacted with the opposite sex and having a guy interested in me was a definite confidence booster. He was really cute and had an amazing body. So I think I'm at a good start with the socializing, I have another speed dating event on Friday September 9th and a Stir Event by Match on September 17th so we'll see how those goes and I'll report back. 

Bottom line is as in all things "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT." I'm coming to the conclusion that it doesn't have to be so difficult and that my love is out there.  

Til the next time!
