Brokeback Mountain, Peach Beer, Grilled Salmon and a Side of Steamed Veggies Please

Ok this is getting really weird. I was invited to Thad's bday celebration over the weekend, which included his girlfriend, and a couple of his poker buddies. Before I left, a friend of mine "Ramon", told me "Hey, I bet he'll call you as soon as you leave tonight to see if you had a good time."

We get to the steakhouse and are seated in a booth for six. The poker buddies have larger builds, so Thad invites me to sit next to him, "So I can be the bitch." I thought to myself, you said it, I didn't.

We order. It's a steakhouse. I get steak. Not a huge steak or red meat eater, but when in Rome. Thad proceeds to order a fruity margarita, grilled salmon with a side of steamed veggies, and a Caesar salad. Hmm...ok healthy choices mostly, so what's up with the lite meal in a steakhouse??? During the meal, he brushes my leg once with his hand, another time with his leg. It's not the uncomfortable oh-my-gosh-i-just-touched-another-dude's-leg and jerk away...it was a comfortable movement that lasted for more than just a few seconds.

After we eat, we head to a certain sports bar that features servers in tight tops and shorts (no, not hooters, but a knock off). Thad gets orders a Heiney (again, more giggles from W), then gets two or three peach beers.

During this time, I'm trying to play nice with his girlfriend and other friends. Chatting about poker and movies (two things that are greek to me).

Speaking of movies, they asked what's the last one I saw. I took a drink of Bud Lite and smiled and said. "Brokeback Mountain." "Oh wow," squealed his girlfriend, "we went to see it at the theater too, we both liked it." Hmm. Ok sure.

At this point I was getting tired and confused, so I excused myself and left.

Before I got home, guess what? Yup, Thad calls and the first words out of his mouth, "I Hope you had a good time tonight. I hope my friends weren't to lame for you." I said not at all, I had fun. He adds, "Well, you and I should grab drinks later this week, just you and I." Um, sure, that'd be great.

You may be wondering, what does his GF look like. Well I want to be nice. She was wearing black eyeliner and lip gloss. She's a beer drinkin, poker playing, strip club going kinda guy. *Coughs Coughs*

So I've decided it's cool to make new friends. I can be nice and friendly, but if there's something else going on. No way.

Why is it all the good men I find are already taken, or living on the other side of the world?
