On CL, I posted:
you were tending bar wearing a black shirt with a grey image of new england on the back and a pocket on the front. i was sitting at the bar on an awkward, awkward date. i wished i was sitting there alone so i could talk to you about betazoids some more. i would have left you my number, but that seems like it might be bad form, me being on a date and all.

I'm not sure what I'm doing answering someone else's missed connection, but seems like they are just too common these days. I assume this was friday night? I'm not him... but I know who you are talking about.I'm not sure if he has a girlfriend but I do know he is a real nice guy... Anyway, Friday isn't his normal shift.Think he'd remember you?

whoa, weird - he might remember me. we talked briefly about how the other bartender (a super cool blonde girl) was a betazoid, and about gene roddenberry's wife. i was attempting to be on a date with a guy whose biggest claim to fame was that he was once the rebound guy of carrot top. my date was a nice guy, not my style.
i realized it's not terribly classy to try to a) pick up bartenders or b) try to pick up bartenders while you're on a date. is it any classier to use the missed connections? maybe not...
John wrote:
I'm not going to decide what's classy and what isn't... Was that a blind date? So, do you want another shot at this bartender?
Frankie wrote:
Thank God you're not the arbiter of class. I know I'm certainly not.
I do, in fact, want another shot. He's adorable, and the art in the bar that he made is awesome. I realize that posting a missed connection, as opposed to just going back to the bar and saying "Hey," is probably the weak move, but I kind of wanted to see if it would work.
And yes, it was a blind date.

I not an arbiter of class nor a liaison for the missed connections of the world... I am, however, a fan of that bar.Maybe he will read your post and respond... I'd say that's a longshot.So, his name is Jim. He normally works Tues and Sunday... I'd say if you rolled in there either of those days, early evening, you'd have a pretty good shot at talking him up.You going to do it?
Well...am I?

This guy had an awful lot to say to you if he wasn't planning to be your liaison! What's his deal?
And yes, go back!
p.s. He is so the arbiter of class and he should stop trying to deny it.
I actually have a theory that this is, in fact, the bartender writing under an assumed name. I mean, I'm writing under an assumed name, so I take it as gospel that everyone else is, as well.
omg- you have to go back! i will escort you. so if you somehow misjudged and the guy is weird, we can retreat...together...in the sunset. ok i went too far.
also, everyone is using fake names all the time. that's why i use nicknames based on physical characteristics or name associations. ok again, i've said too much.
Sasha! You've betrayed our extremely elaborate code! Now everyone will know that Ponytail...HAS A PONYTAIL. Nice going, slick.
Ruined.
