[public entry] he takes after his brother, apparently
Okay, listen up. My brother already gave his own Public Service Announcement and I'm not the kinda guy to make them myself, but this is the third time in a row this week I've stayed up all night listening to someone sobbing their eyes out at the Crowbar. So I think I can be forgiven for it.
Valentine's Day is coming up. I get it! Month of February is the month of love and heart-shaped chocolate boxes and roses for whoever makes your heart a-flutter. Some of you folks who aren't in a relationship start wanting one. More people start coming to the bar looking for true love. Some of you folks just don't give a damn. More power to you.
First of all, much as I like the business it brings, don't expect to find true love in a bar.
If it happens, great, but don't be too surprised if the guy talking your ear off, buying you a drink, and finding you a room next door doesn't turn out to be prince charming. If he says he'll call you but he's out the door before you can say sayonara and never calls you by your name, chances are he will not call you, period.
Next order of business, and this is crucial, people: there are signals. Men and women give signals. Learn to read them and your life will be made all the better for it. If he says he'd love to get together again but he's got business to attend to over the weekend--and never answers his phone and says he'll call you instead?
He ain't calling.
When a guy's not making eye contact and gives you his phone number without asking for yours to the point you have to offer it instead--guy ain't calling. Don't sit and stay up all night waiting for him to call.
He ain't calling. There isn't a glitch in the thousand new messed up ways to technologically reach you. MySpace is still working. So's your Blackberry. So's the answering machine. He just. Didn't. Call. Guy that's worth staying up for all night will find a way to get back to you no matter what. Trust me on this.
Also! Guys, if the girl you bought a drink for last night gave you a number and it turns out a completely different person picks up? Nine times out of ten this was intentional. Her name was Jessica but you get a Bob who's never heard of a Jessica Rabbit before? This was intentional.
She's just not that into you. It's a shame! But there are plenty of other charming fish in the sea.
Disclaimer: all these opinions are my own and they are not to be taken as Gospel, but I personally think your life will be better for it.
Thank you and to all a good night.
