Last weekend I went to Down Under Pub as a wing-man for one of my closest friends. He was in the mood to meet a couple women and my job was to be the wing-man. Within a few seconds of walking in, I made eye contact with several attractive women. One was a mid 40′s blond. Another was a 30ish redhead. And then there was a 40′s brunette.
As the evening progressed, I danced with one woman more than the others. I did the R-Kelly “bump & grind”, I even did the Flo-Rida get low move on her. It was all induced by the alcohol and the music. At the end of the evening she had to leave to look after her younger and drunk friend. We exchanged phone numbers and made plans to see each other later in the week.
LN48 and I spent the next few days emailing, texting and talking on the phone. I was curious to see how our chemistry was away from the loud music and dance floor. So we made plans to meet for drinks Wednesday evening. It seemed like the perfect plan. As usual, I spent my afternoon on my laptop at a local cafe/bistro. I had a salad while I worked and then I went home to check on Dirt Bike Boy after school.
As I got ready to leave for my happy hour date, I couldn’t find my wallet. I looked in my laptop bag. I looked on my dresser. I even asked Dirt Bike Boy, in-case he was playing a joke. I didn’t find it anywhere. It was no where to be found. I was starting to wonder if I left it on the table at the cafe. So I called and yes it was there. The owner of the cafe, whom I know, had my wallet. But I can’t recover my wallet until the following morning.
So now I have a tough decision. Should I call and cancel 15 minutes before the date? Or should I go and explain the situation? (I’m sure she’ll understand my situation) 
I decided to go ahead with the date. I met her at Chili’s in West Plano. As soon as I walked in, I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Immediately I told her I lost my wallet at lunch. I also explained how it happened. And I was apologetic for the my lack of money. Since I didn’t have any money or credit cards, I ordered ice tea. We talked for a hour and she politely paid the $8 bill. I walked her to the car and gave her a hug and kiss. We even confirmed plans to go bowling on Saturday night. But somehow I walked away with a weird feeling.
My feeling was confirmed when I emailed her the next day and I never heard back from her. And now it’s been 2 days and she won’t respond to my text messages, phone calls or emails.
As embarrassed as I am, is it possible for a guy to be honest and still get penalized? Should I let a club hook up just fade to black? Would you believe a man who lost his wallet? Or would you think it was his way of not paying?
