So Wednesday night, I decided that I was going to "drink away my sorrows" at the bar. I go to the only non-smoking bar, bring a book from my Foundations and Theory of Reading class (aka kid's book), order myself a wine cooler (no hard liquor in that bar), and some chicken bits. I then sat by myself and read my book. My book for a 6th grader. I don't know how long I was there, long enough to finish my drink and dinner, and order another drink. Then this guy walks up to me and asks me a couple of questions, loses interest, or thinks he's being blown off, and walks off.
A few minutes later, 3 chapters in, another guy walks up and pokes fun at me for coming to a bar by myself and reading and drinking. So he sits down, and we talk for a few hours. I give him a ride home because by the time we're done talking, the bar's closing and his ride has left him. Or so he says. I give him a ride home and we exchange numbers. He called me up this afternoon to go out to lunch, or to go out for coffee, but since I don't drink coffee and it was noon, I got lunch. So we talked some more, and he wasn't drunk, and I wasn't reeling from a break up, and it was good.
So I don't know what's going to happen there, but my first night out on my own and I actually found someone interesting to talk to. Pretty proud of myself. Don't know if I'm ready for anything serious, don't know what he's thinking, but we're probably going to do something this weekend since I don't work. Yessssssss.

First, I am shocked that you drove a guy home that you just met. That is a big no-no in Vegas. There is a big desert out there and plently of room if you know what I mean. Scary.
Second, it is great that you bet someone new and interesting. Rock on with ya bad self! *lame*
Third, Go slow. Like a freaking snail or maybe the turtle from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
Fourth, why am I writing with a sequence?
Finally, I hope he knows he is going to be the rebound guy....LOL.
