All the Single people, (all the single people)

WOW!!

i went to a "Singles Cocktail Party" last night. It was pretty cool.
Firstly, i got invited through a facebook club i belong to, and so i thought initially that there were going to be a lot more girls than guys, and i was very unsure of the age bracket that was going to be represented and thought I might only know one or two people, and one of those was a 'waitress' and the other the host. So to stead myself I brought "back up" (not to-go-home-with-if-it-doesn't-work-out-back-up) friend, escape plan, and veto-er.

I invited one of my single friends, who had to decline due to prior commitments, then I invited John, although please don't tell John, cause he thought I invited him over the first person... fragile ego, please don't burst his bubble, he doesn't have many left!!

There was drinks being made, nibbles being passed around. Most of the girls I met and talked with were there for pretty much the same reason as myself... happy with our singledom, but happy to meet new people. I have a hard time relating to women my age who's main focus in life is to find a man and live "happily ever after". It was good to get to know some of these women better after meeting them a couple of times through the 'Crafty-Foxes'.

The guys were all pretty normal too, chatted to a few of them, one of them went to uni at the same time I did, with some people who I was friends with way back then.. that was funny really - small world and all that.
There was one odd guy, but it wasn't til about 2am that i was talking with him and he declared that "All women are evil or stupid" I was sober, and starting to tire... now I wish i had replied "that's an excellent thing to say to 'win friends and influence people'" I couldn't be bothered arguing with him either, i just let him have his wee opinion and moved to the dance floor.
Earlier than this tho, there was some note passing, which was a bit of a dubious thing to be going on, then the boys got together and wrote some notes, and then the girls... it was all a bit high school and no one was telling anyone who wrote what. There was one 'date' that transpired... one guy gave a note with his number and an invite for lunch, so that was cool.

I now have more people to add to my FB and invite to my party - huzzah.
