It started out as a joke. As I was sitting at the bar in Vivaces with my girlfriend, I was telling her that I have never had drinks bought for me by men. By this I mean I have never walked into a bar on my own or with girlfriends and had a man buy me a drink. She looked at me as though I was an alien. She took that as a challenge and decided that I was going to have drinks bought for me that night. And before long, I had a drink before me. But not quite the way that I had envisioned.
My friend has been conversing with someone that she knew. Let's call him Will. My friend and Will are old acquaintances. With a twinkle in her eye she turned to Will and said, "Would you believe that she has never had a drink bought for her." What does a girl do with that? Laugh, be embarrassed? "I know, can you believe it?" I retorted, sarcastically. That's the best I could do on such short notice. Will bought me a drink. What a heart!! My friend then said gleefully, "Consider, your cherry now popped!!" Ummm, I supposed it was..... I thought it would be better!!
Later that night, still up for the challenge I did manage to have our drinks bought for us. Actually, it was not intentional as it happened by accident. Did it feel better? No. Maybe I will be buying my own drinks from now on!!! Or maybe I will be gracious and let men buy them for me. There is nothing wrong with being gracious.
