Happy Sunday all! Glad you could join me again. This weekend, I attempted something so simple…I felt like a mega-idiot for never having done it before. I’ll preface this blog with the statement that I am still not convinced about the bar scene. However, this epiphany has me singing a new tune when it comes to dudes, beer, and getting the attention you crave when you hit the town.
Saturday night some friends and I decided to go out to watch the OSU / USC game at a local pub. I’m sporting a t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops…so I’m not looking as spectacular as usual. But it’s football, and stilettos and sassy top seemed out of order :)
This night, I’ve decided to add a new accessory to my wardrobe…a smile. Ok, ok…obviously, I smile often when I’m with my friends and family, so you’re probably thinking – what are you talking about? But, oftentimes when I hit the town, I avoid smiling at strangers for a multitude of reasons –
a) they’ll think I’m crazy
b) I’ll get rejected
c) I’ll feel like an idiot walking around smiling at everyone
On Saturday night, though, I bit the bullet and smiled at as many people as possible! I will admit that I felt a little ridiculous most of the time, but here’s the kooky part…it worked!!! I’ve never talked to so many men. Granted, not all of them were my type or even in my age range. But the more I smiled, the more people came to chat me up.
Moral of the story…smiling = friendly = more men = potential dates. It’s that simple. Who knew???
YES YES YES!!! I love it Jen! This is what I'm talking about!
