S & S

My coworkers text me wanting to know if I wanted to go out. I wasn’t really up to it, but I’m sooooo glad I went! I had a blast!

They took me to a bar I hadn’t been to before "S&S". It was by the Air Force.

This place was sooo different.

When I walked in, my first impression was that it reminded me of a biker bar, but it wasn’t. It was diverse in race and style. There were a couple of pool tables and a dance floor and a long horizontal bar at the back. They played old hip hop favorites mixed with current top 40 hits.

Outside, there was a stage area where a band was playing classic rock hits. It also had a basketball & volleyball court, and a place to play sand toss/bags.

It was like a huge rec center and everyone was just casually hanging out, drinking, and playing games. I loved it! This is my kind of place. I’m not really into fancy clubs. I would choose a "hole-in-the-wall" bar over an upscale club any day.

Anyway, everyone was sooo friendly. We made a bunch of new friends. I hit the dance floor with my coworkers and random buddies. I don’t remember the last time I danced so much. I woke up so sore this morning. LOL!

I met a few guys, but none that I really thought I wanted to get to know. I also met a couple (husb & wife) who thought me and my friends were awesome. The wife was so cute and funny. She danced with us. We exchanged numbers. The husband kept telling me that I was unique, beautiful, and that I shouldn’t settle in my quest for a good guy. I thought this was odd cuz I didn’t tell them about my breakup. All they asked me was my age, if I had kids, and if I was single. They were surprised at my answers. The wife said I was lucky to be in my 30s and to not have kids. She told me to enjoy it. She has 6 kids. It’s funny how the grass is greener on the other side. I would gladly trade places with her.

I got a slightly weird vibe from the husband. He was nice and all, but he felt the need to walk me to my car when we were leaving. He repeated again that I was beautiful, and then he started telling me how his wife had a messed up life and how they had issues. I didn’t think it was appropriate. I made sure to remind him how awesome his wife is and how lucky he is to have her. I also told him if he had any cute single friends to send them my way. I hope he doesn’t turn out to be a creep.

We left around 1:30am and went to eat at Denny’s. I didn’t go to sleep till almost 4am.

I’m tired… gonna eat some pizza and take a nap! 🙂

She’s five years younger than me and I think she wants the freedom where I e already gotten mine out. It’s just messy when we are together too much. I let things in my head get to me and she doesn’t know what to do. We both need to get things sorted out with ourselves.

But! I am glad you went out and had fun. More of that please 😉 doesn’t do either of us any good to sit around and think

I really love your diary! I faved you! Hmm the couple either seems like a swinger couple or he was a cheater. Perhaps I’m wrong but that’s the vibe I’m getting. –

hey thanks for the note. i read through your entries, and it certainly does sound like we are going through the same thing 🙁 i do believe things will get better.. it’s good your friends and co-workers are there to help you feel better. but stay away from that couple, the husband is definitely a creeper!

Yeah, I am 29, she’s 24 (obviously). And truly she could have any guy she wanted so I don’t blame her for being curious. I just wanted someone to not give up on me for once, but that’s a problem on me, not her. Struggling with it tonight moreso than most nights.

The whole time I knew we shouldn’t have hung out, but I couldn’t say no, just being near her makes me happy. & I’m not used to happiness..used to losing everyone I care about. My problems were heavy for her, I was unfair. But I don’t want to keep her from living her life or finding her own happiness. It gets over complicated in my head. I always feared she’d leave, much harder to deal with now.

…and thanks. I appreciate this

The best part of this story is that you went out and had a lot of fun. 🙂 I am so happy that you went out and did this. Oh, and I hope you remember this place when I come out to your area one of these days. 🙂 Yeah, I have kinda agree with the other noters. I think that couple are swingers or something like that. But, I am glad that you had fun!! 🙂 Neil

Ah yes, the games, how fun. Ha. **** that. I’m just going to lay low, lay with another maybe haha. No, probably will immerse myself in work and booze. But we’ll see how it goes. Hope you are doing okay today.. one day at a time, right..
