Why Can't I meet Someone?

Ok, last night I went out and tied one on (actually I tied several on). Here's how it happened.

Yesterday at lunch I run into a girl I used to work with. We started talking and I asked her if she was doing anything after work. She said she wasn't so I asked her if she'd like to have a few drinks. She agreed. I met her up at one of the few bars in town and visited with her for a while. We spent about 3 hours just talking and shooting the shit when she says that she needs to get home because her boyfriend is expecting her at home soon. The whole boyfriend thing wasn't much of a surprise to me considering the last time I saw her she was telling me about him. It didn't piss me off all that much. So I'm sitting there finishing up my last beer that I ordered when the 2 ladies at the table next to where we were sitting ask me to join them. What the hell, I had noticed them when they sat down as well as their wedding rings.

The cute of the two is one of the "Holy Roller" types and had overheard part of the conversation I was having earlier about "The Passion." So she wanted to talk to me about how I felt about the movie and discuss religion. Thankfully , the other one is not a religious person. So we're sitting there drinking and talking about all sorts of things when their cell phones go off. Yup, it's their husbands. One of them has to drive an hour and a half to get home to her's, the other plans on staying a bit longer becasue she's enjoying our talk. Luckily the one that had to leave wants to get together with me and go drinking, so she gives me her number. Just my luck it's the religous nut that wants to stay. I figure "What the Hell," after all she's kinda cute and it turned out we know so of the same people from when she was in high school. (Yes, we ex-band geeks do know how to network in a BIG way.)

To make a long story short, no I didn't do anything with her, nor would I (unless there's money involved, hehe). I've met a total of three women in this area that I'd even remotely want to get involved with now. The first one is the one that I originally met at the bar, but she's attached, which really sucks. The second one is really very attractive and I have a lot in common with (including being a chocoholic), but I'm afraid she's out of my league. The last one is very much married, and therefore very much un-attainable for me.

I guess it's time for me to try to find a "real" job and get back into the grind of things again. I miss the excitement of city life. The fact that you can find something to do at any hour of the day. I also miss my Starbucks at 4 am, talking about all sorts of things with my friends, especially ways to make money off of the gullible people out there. I need to get to some place where I can meet people that I have something in common with, because down here I have very little in common with most of them, unless it's family memebers we both have in common. It sucks being in a small town where you have about five generations of family history. The only way you're not related to them is if they aren't from here. Sure my neighbors downhill are cute, but they are just freshmen in college and toooo damn young for me. I admit that I'm a dirty old man in training, but 19 is too young. Hell, they can't even buy beer legally in the US. That and I'm old enough to be their father, just something's not right about that.

That's enough for now.
Peace.
