Dirty cocks: The date

Alex texted me the address of the bar where I was to meet him at 9 pm.

Sure enough, he just couldn't let me off that easily...

As my phone vibrated next to me on the couch, I was met with the following message:

"I promise there are no beers there that taste like dirty cocks."

Ha. Good one.

As Alex walked into the bar, he seemed pretty true to his profile, which sadly, is a a rarity.

Suddenly, something caught my eye.

My eyes darted down to his shoes.

"Hey," he said, smiling. "Nice to meet you!"

Never one to filter, I blurted out the following.

"Do your shoes glow in the dark!?"

Awkward silence.

"Uh, yeah. But, uh, they are also, uh, really comfortable." As if that makes it ok...

Sure enough, this guy was wearing sneakers that full on glowed in the dark. As we moved from the entrance of the bar to a table in the back, he awkwardly joked, "just uh, follow my sneakers."

I tried not to let the glow-in-the-dark sneakers taint my opinion of Alex, I really did.

But cmon now, are we five?

  2. Glow in the dark sneakers are awesome! I was just looking at a pair of glow in the dark converse last week, but I decided against them because beside glowing, they were also made of clear plastic.

    Don't knock him just for his cool kicks...
