After working on our Misión Posible project outline at a high level, I’m excited to start implementing our project. However, the project team isn’t fully ready yet as there are still details to be ironed out, like strategies, deliverables and budget.
Being Saturday night, the girls have decided to check out Courthouse because we always hear the music on the radio and we like the playlist. I was instantly disappointed by the crowd as soon as we arrive, specifically speaking of the male candidates. Either they’re much older, like in their mid 30′s and unattractive or they look under 25 and not very attractive either and definitely lack success. However, the music playing kept me moving.
I wasn’t drinking at all as I was the designated driver and not to mention I’m on a tight budget and rather blow the $$$ on more worthy occasions, such as going specifically towards Misión Posible. I have a feeling the budget for this project is going to be quite pricey, especially if we want to hook the ideal big fish 
In between dancing, being silly with my girlfriends and text messages with a boy whom I’ve been flirting with for the past month, I’ve noticed two Caucasian males at VIP booth by the balcony who seems to be by themselves with bottle service. Male in white shirt is cute, male in black polo top – not so cute. Determined to kick off the project and have some fun practicising spontaneity, Aida & I went upstairs with no strategy in mind.
When we got upstairs, the cute one in white is sitting by himself. We stood near their VIP booth, whispering nervously about what approach to take. I finally took a deep breath and sat down next to the cute boy and introduced myself. His name is Kevin, and apparently it’s his first time at Courthouse as wel. His friend is smoking outside, hence he’s sitting by himself at the moment. I then introduced Aida to him. Kevin picks up the bottle of vodka and I thought he’ll offer us drinks but nope, he was just refilling for himself. Just then, his friend comes back and introduced himself to us as Greg.
A minute later, the rest of our girlfriends have arrived upstairs and are all staring at us. Feeling awkward and not wanting the guys to think we brought our entire entourage to crash their party (or to get free drinks, which I was hoping to at least score one from their flipping VIP booth), I said bye to Kevin. He replied, “I’ll have to come and look for you at the dance floor later” I smiled and said “Yeah”. At that point, I really didn’t care to know him, however I was disppointment and embarrassed about the result because I have failed to score myself even one free drink. They’re definitely not gentlemen, I’m still baffled at the fact that he refilled his own drink but didn’t have the common courtesy to offer even one drink to Aida and me when they had the entire bottle service to themselves. How rude!
Lessons learned:
- When approaching guys, must not bring your entire group of posies, and inform them beforehand to wait aside and not stare (or at least stare from afar) to avoid embarrassment and awkwardness
- Best is to have one girlfriend with you, perhaps two at the most
- Definitely helps to have a game plan
- Feel that it’s best to let the guys do the approaching after all, you feel more feminine and valued that way
All and all, it was a good learning experience. Now I know that I rather be passive agressive by sending signals out skillfully to the opposite sex, than to attack agressively
