Happy Hour
Bill - Beer Hall - Thursday, 6:33pm
I am late. I hate that but it is only by 3 minutes. I usually want to be early for the date so I can pick where we sit. (I'll work out my control freak issues with a therapist.) When I walk up to the bar he is waiting outside for me. +1 for being a gentleman. Those little things make me melt.
Usual pleasantries then go inside. I begin to judge him on his beer choice. I am not impressed. He said he likes Guinness. (Again, I will work out my beer snob issues with a therapist) He follows my lead and orders the same thing as me. Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter by Ballast Point, a personal favorite but also 10% ABV.
He is the archetype of the San Francisco tech guy. Programmer for Twitter. I don't use Twitter so we have nothing to talk about there. We both enjoy "the outdoors." That is a push, everyone enjoys the outdoors. We like a lot of the same music. He is 10 years older than me and doesn't go to punk shows anymore. I do and I love it.
We have a second drink. Overall he is really sweet. He makes me smile. He is shy but in a cute way. We plan a date for Saturday. We part ways and I walk home a little buzzed.
