Valentines Downs and Ups

I suppose its to be expected, but I had 2 Valentine surprises tonight. But in order to understand them, here's the background story.

The Downs

For a few weeks before Christmas I had a crush on I who came in every Wednesday night with his Team. Sadly shortly after Christmas he tore his groin (ouch) and hasn't been back.

Tonight as K and I were eating 100's of those little talking hearts, I was saying how if I came in I'd give him the "kiss me" one. And then, for the 1st time in 2 months he walks in...yes that right...with a lady friend. Shit. She was pretty too, but kind of old looking. Ok so that may sound a little bitchy, but that's the singles girls prerogative on V-day right. We'll see what happens next week.

The Ups

Later in the evening. C come up the bar and asks if I have a pen and paper (obviously I do, what kind of bartender doesn't?). I then go about my business, but he's still standing there when I get back to the bar. He hands out the slip of paper, and says I'd really like to take you out on one of your nights off. Just then K comes over and asks whats going on, kind of let me off the hook from answering at the moment, she had no idea what was happening.

So now I have to decide if I want to go out with this guy. He'd be the 4th guy to ask me out from work, but the 1st I'd actually consider going out with. I just may call him. If I grow enough balls.

Also it needs to be secret, as its "frowned upon" by S for any of us to date one of the men's league hockey guys. However, I'm not actually to worried about S's rules as I'm pretty sure its frowned upon for Upper Management to "date" a lower staff member.

Like I said life is always a surprise...now I can look forward to Tuesdays for R, and Wednesdays for C and I.

You just never know.

Going to sleep smiling tonight.
