Okay..I Took a Chance..

...and went to this restaurant/club where all the good looking people seemed like where they would hang out.

The only reason why I went was because after driving by a couple of times, I have to admit, I like the way the people looked and dressed. It was after work corporate attire, nice dresses, and business suits. People where standing around talking, but most were sitting at tables outside ad inside. I was dressed nicely also. Non discript black sneakers, white t-shirt and a denim rolled up sleeve shirt, which was a button down. I felt comfortable, ready to mingle and have a good time. BOY did I have a good time.

Being this was my first time at this place AND this place has only been open for a couple of months... I guess it was still trying to find it's 'group' of people, it's 'regulars', or the 'look' they were going for. As soon as I stepped in the door I was approached by a VERY good looking woman. She could have stepped out of a model magazine. And yes I looked her from head to toe...starting with the eyes first. She said hi, and told me her name, asked me mines and what I do for a living. Michael, and I'm in the culinary field...great, she handed me a menu...she was the hostess. Steered me to a table not to order any food, but to go over the menu with her, she wanted MY opinion. For an hour we went over everything, then took me into the kitchen. Gave me her card and then told me that she knew I wasn't from around here. I asked how she knew this, and she said because I came in the door. Being I am Black, most Black people she said don't come in and she wondered why. I told her to just look around, everyone is in suits and business dresses. Told her she should let loose the dress code for a Saturday evening some what.

Offered me a drink, told her I don't drink and we continued to talk for a little while until she told me that she has to get back to work. But, she told me that she is going to leave me in the good hands of a good female friend of hers that she thinks that her and I will hit it off. My Spidey Senses we VERY active...until she bought her friend over. She was and is really a timid beautiful woman. I saw that she was nervous, being in a place such as this, so I took her to a quiet spot outside and we talked...for 2 hours. I could also tell she wanted to leave, but not to take me home, but to go home to her quiet place and I mentioned that to her. That she didn't have to feel obligated to keep me company. Asked me to walk her to her car, plenty of stares from people. She gave me her number and told me to call me when ever and that not to b a stranger, she feels comfortable around me and invited me to lunch at her place. She drove off, I went back inside. The hostess approached me 15 minutes later, and told me that her friend REALLY likes me and she wanted to know what I thought of her. Told her, and she said don't forget to keep your date for Sunday. I won't.

I'm out. Going for a 15 mile bike ride with a group of people with some Bike Club right now. Gonna take my time too.
