I'm such a loser

Posted by Daisym on May 9, 2007, at 23:07:51

OK - I think I've started to think of myself as "single" although it still doesn't click in very quickly...

Today I looked pretty together -- pink suit, pink (high) heels, pearls, even my hair cooperated. And I felt OK enough that I could pretend I am thinner than I am...So I stop at a Starbucks between meetings...and the guy behind me is reading the newspaper. He and I begin chatting about the front page story on Roller Derby making a comeback. We compare notes, we were the same age when it was on TV, etc. etc. He's nicely dressed, pretty good looking, no wedding ring. He comments on my suit - "you look really nice, you must be someone important" - and I tell him no - but I do tell him what I do, etc. We continue to chat as we wait for our coffees, and when I pick up mine, he hands me his card and says, "if you ever want to go to the Roller Derby - email me." I realize in that moment that we've been flirting (he started it), I take his card, and say something stupid like, "I might" and walk toward the door.

And then I TRIP over the rain mat, stumble forward and splash coffee and whipped cream (white chocolate mocha) all down the glass front door. Can you say "LOSER!"? I was suddenly back in high school, not knowing what to do now but knowing everyone was watching. I turned beat red and I should have bolted.

But no! I grab napkins, clean off the door first, and THEN bolt. (because I'm "nice")

*sigh* -- so much for getting a date. I'm wearing sweats tomorrow.

And how was your day?
