Man Dates

Periodically, I meet KenTak3 for lunch. its not as frequently as i would like but it happens often enough...It was a nice day so we sat outside a food bar I like on Maiden Lane called Zeytunas.

As is often the case on a weekday around noon, its pretty packed. But the same pretty blonde is always sitting there anxiously reading some document or case study or something.

Without letting KenTak know, I positioned us near the pretty blonde, intending to attract her to our conversation. Little did I know how far south we would have to go before she would even look our way.

KenTak is an engaged conversationalist but has low tolerance for self deprication or general depression. As a result he hardly ever talks to the rest of our study group from college. Mr Shoulders and Evil are just too far gone at this point. He's still amused by me, because like people at work, I have the potential to get it right at ANY GIVEN MOMENT. of course I don't. If I did then this blog would be duller than it is.

Our conversation that day mostly centered on women and mixed success in recent months. As someone in a committed relationship, KenTak is amused by my flailing and i think uses it a remind for how good he's got it.
Bored talking to myself, and not thinking it will attract the pretty blonde into our web. I shift the conversation from chicks I'm not banging to an article I had recently read in the NY Times about dudes who go on date like things, like going to the movies or going to a museum, just a couple of metros pumped for a night on the town. Mentioning this as we both sat there in shirts we spent far too much money was amusing. She was looking over and just kind of sizing us up and down.

Ken actually said something funny and our blonde friend snorted.

I looked over at her, and was all like "Would it be wierd if me and this dude had a nice dinner somewhere?"

"I dunno, I dunno what's acceptable anymore.."

"I'm pretty sure at any given moment, it will be acceptable for a straight dude to suck another straight dude's cock and still be straight"

"sucking cock" the quickest way to end a conversation with a random person...
