I walked in, ordered a glass of wine. Looked around, saw him but he avoided my gaze so I questioned if I had correctly picked him out from the other bro looking dudes in here. Then I saw him look at his phone. I checked mine and he unmatched as I was looking. Class fucking act.

So, I’m gonna sit here and drink my over priced wine. He’s the dick, why should I leave? And yes, I look like my pics. They are all recent. Guess I just didn’t do it for him in person.

Rather than throw a drink on him on the way out, thinking of having the bartender send him a drink w a msg that he’s a douche. Any better ideas? Half a glass of wine to figure it out.

Update:

Fun night and new insight

So, I didn’t meet Prince Charming but I had a great night. The minute I hit post, this much older gentleman sat down next to me and ordered a drink. I knew an amusing story about the brand of beer he ordered and immediately volunteered the story. He was amused and we started chatting.

I say to older guy (I’m 46, he’s prolly early 70’s) I’d like to ask you a favor. Then I tell him what happened and say would you mind sharing a drink with me because I’d rather do that then walk out w my tail between my legs. He tells me he lost his wife a year ago and he is terrified of dating and he would be very happy to keep me company.

We have a great conversation about a wide variety of topics. He’s absolutely lovely despite not being age appropriate…. And….. I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT DOUCHE. No sending him a drink or tossing a drink on him or anything else. Just went about my evening and enjoyed the conversation at hand. Was a night well spent. When I left an hour later, douche was no where to be seen.

So, obviously, the moral of the story is to not let jerks dictate your self image. But, on a practical level…. I’ve been going to the same bars I’ve gone to for 20 years because I can walk to them. I’m 20 years older. The rest of the patrons are not. Turns out, there are bars that cater to grown ups. Who knew?

I know the bar scene is not for everyone. But, if it is a comfortable place for you in theory, but not practice, might be time to shake it up location wise.
