This is a blog about what people make other people think. This is a blog about perception.
During the summer, I met a lovely young woman named Dani who shares my love of karaoke. She currently has an afro which is nothing short of impossibly sexy, so YES to the 'fro! She's really cute and smart and funny, and we click. Well, she's invited me and a friend (she said "bring a friend") to a birthday karaoke room party at 1:00 AM. So I talked to my co-workers about this, and they (and I) pretty much figure that if I'm being invited out from 1 to 3 to Manhattan, when I'm coming in from Brooklyn, to see a girls I haven't seen in a while who has requested my personal attention on the date of her birth, that I'm pretty much going home with her. Now, I said t half-jokingly, because I doubt that I'll be shtupping anyone that night, but I would so love to hook up with her; she's just an incredible girl.
The problem is the guest. I have many options, but I wanted to bring a guy. Maybe I just want to be sure that I go back to my place alone, who knows, but I've settled on two friends:
Cisco, who is all around cool and well-liked and received. I've never heard him sing, but he seems down for it
and
David, who is an okay guy in small doses and can sing rather well.
Both are free and I've invited Cisco as my guest, and David is my alternate.
The problem:
Cisco is the anti-wingman. What does this mean? Cisco will probably zero in on the hottest girl at this thing (which I really hope isn't Dani) and just monopolize her time all night.
And David? He's too much of a ham, and I perceive him as one of my skeevy friends, which would already make me look bad right out of the gate, or he might show up as the David you get to know, who is obnoxious, whiny and abrasive.
It's possible that neither will be available, in which case I will invite Leah. Dani already knows her, which makes things a lot easier. But she might be working that night, and to ask her to shlep to the city after work is kind of a dick move.
So I don't know what to expect or what will happen, but at least I'll have a good time. I've decided to not hope for sex and just let the night play out. So we'll see.
Let's all have fun!
