Its going along well

Tionn and I have been hanging out a good amount. Well I guess I should say talking on the phone and planning to hang out. Its nice, and comfy. Nothing too fast or slow. Just good times and enjoying company. On Sunday I went over to his boy Mike's place for some drinks and chats. WL#2 went too. It was nice. We laughed, drank wine, looked at Mike's art. Played spades.... which meant the boys got into a fight about who was better, the rules of the game, shit talking, and more crap like that.

WL#2 and I proceeded to take pictures in the midst of the madness. Then finally the night ended with us playing a nice easy game of bowling on the Wii. The coziest part of the evening were the stealthy little steps I took to be closer to Tionn so I could feel his manly hands sit on my waist.

Ooowee your girl ain't been touched in a minute. So sad how something so simple can make a girl in a drought say yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh!

We were sharing the same Wii controler and I definitley found the sneakiest ways (I don't know how sneaky it really was because I had gone through three glasses of wine by this time) to fit my chocolaty rump right into his lower regions. Yall know that nice standing swoon position. And his hand always went directly to the right place on my waist. The area that makes you think you are holding onto a flat stomach but it's really just the crater before the mountain. I loved every bit of it.

We are planning to get together again. Ill let ya know what happens then. Maybe some more standing swoon position.

First Attempt

Balls to the walls ladies! I did it. Began my new experiment of picking up men. I am still working on the perameters of what this experiment should be, but I figured I should just jump in and swim. Heres what happened...

Its amazing how in Milwaukee you can barely find more than two places that foster a diverse crowd of people. After searching a couple of bars/clubs my winglady and I settled on a hot lil spot on the East side. Plenty of single ladies and men all looking to get a buzz and meet someone interesting. That was the funniest thing to look at. Large chunks of singles hanging together, looking around, calculating how to begin a conversation with there particular mystery man or woman.

I was among those chunks of people, but I was willing to pursue the situation. Then we spotted him. A smooth little dip and shoulder bop caught my eye and after much confidence coaching I went for it. Tapped Mr. Man on the shoulder, told him my girl and I saw him dancing and thought he was interesting. When he gets a moment he should could come talk to us. Then I walked away.

DAMN!!! That shit was scary. But it worked...

15min. later Mr. Man was at my side chatting it up with me and my girl. Then the ball dropped.

*INSERT a long "Ughhhh", that I clocked in my head in this moment*

I had hit on this guy before at another bar. Yep, with the same winglady. He was nice enough, but nothing came of it, because HE didnt make anything of it. That was a good and awkward moment. So him and I chat, his friend comes over and chats, Mr. Man chats some more, my girl chats with him, I dance with him, my girl dances with him...yeah...we hadnt figured out exactly how to close off the situation. Eventually he decides that he needs to check on his boys. I write my e-mail addi on a piece of a paper and give it to him and peace out of that spot.

OK, so what did we learn from this:

1. As soon as you see a target, take a breath and go for it. Same situation as Bandaids :)
2. Give him the option so he has to work a lil bit. And you can find out whether or not he is really interested
3. Take a good look at him before you actually go for it, to make sure you havent picked him up before, because that was AWKWARD!

What I need to figure out from this situation:

1. How to close the deal off when I am done with the conversation.

Any suggestions???? Leave your thoughts, so I can apply them tonight on my next man hunt adventure.

Single In The City

How you feeling Milwaukee!!!!! ....... Yeah..... I hear that silence too. Generally it occurs on Sunday, Tuesday and during the winter. During the winter?!? I thought those from the North were accustomed to -20 degree weather and winds up to 30mph. "Of course not, we are human" , says one of the stitchers at The Rep. Well then, since its cold as mess outside we should all be hugged up with something good to warm our body and soul. Red wine, Brueggers tomato basil soup, a man...

* SCREECHING NOISE IS HEARD IMMEDIATELY**

A Man? But where do you find a Good Single Man these days. Well I decided to do some searching. Maybe the good ol' TV situation would work. Sit at Starbucks and my tall drink of water walks in. Nope, how about just some skater kids, a mom with her three daughters, and a coworker.

Alright next stop, jazz at a really cute bar (Mikeys) with a variety of visitors. The band was hot and so was the crowd. All ten of us including me, myself, and I.

Last chance a hip bar/restaurant in the middle of downtown. Known to have plenty of people always on the weekends. Definitely had some cute prospects but apparently eye contact and a nice smile don't work in this day and age.

Ladies tell me what we gotta do? There are several accomplished, gorgeous, sweet women out here, but where are the men to fulfill our wants and needs. I'm COLD! I want a secure arm around my waist with a body temperature warmer than mine.

Maybe I should get a pet. Nope, nope, that wont fulfill ALL my needs.

Yes this is the age old question, but I mean fo' real, I want an answer. Soooo I plan on doing a lil' hunting and gathering. My homeboy told me about a book him and a friend of his are reading about how to pick up women. I am interested in discovering how to pick up a man. How to choose the right ones and not come off as a flighty. Because us good women out here are in search of something worth our time, but we (myself included) are always WAITING for it to come to us. So lets turn the tides a bit and try it the other way. Ill let you know how it goes. Be sure to stay tuned.
