Single & Mingle - Whole Foods

Can't believe I forgot to post about the Single & Mingle night at Whole Foods!

The East Side of Milwaukee just opened up a glorified natural food store that's the size of a small island, one of which I haven't checked out yet, so when an email rounded the office of "Single & Mingle" night my initial reaction was - hell yeah! Until the day came and I was exhausted, kept thinking of my impending Saturday night and didn't feel like going.

"20 minutes MG," E begged - who, by the way, was not single but was going to represent herself in such a way to help wing woman the gaggle of our friends (yes, I said gaggle as in a group of geese). "Fine." I pouted, "But I look like shit." "Who cares? You've got enough dudes to deal with any way."

So we headed over, checked in and got our numbers along with our appropriate colored circle to say, in search of "single man" or "single woman" and headed on over to the wine sampling area (you can sample, while you shop! Just buy a card - or, as we found out later, a bottle and have them un-cork it).

At the wine area our friends started to gather, when a beautiful woman tapped me on the shoulder to request how you actually go about participating in the event. I was dubbed the Sherpa and led her the way - the whole time thinking, if she puts on the red color, I might have to switch teams. But alas, she was also seeking the elusive blue sticker (single guy) as well.

The event it self was not earth shattering, very few single guys, but we bought bottles of wine and got the wranglers around to join in our group - therefore making several matches along the way (E & I stayed out of it).

Today, I'm sitting at my computer when the beautiful and fabulous woman emails me - both E & I very much enjoyed her company - and we made plans to get her into our circle of friends. Then out of the blue, I get an email with no subject line - about to Junk it, I actually read the body for the funny content where a guy tells me there's hidden money he'd like to share with me or a new pill which can make my penis larger ...

It's from the utterly, too handsome guy that I passed off to two young ladies. I gave my card to his friend and he got my information from him. We've been chatting all day and I'm hoping he comes to bowling ...

I forgot to mention that it could be disastrous this evening as there's PA who I made out with last night, my new friend that admitted he kind of likes me (I brought two girls who are a way better match to pass off to) and now Mr. Handsome.

Tune in tomorrow!

Sounds like a good day so far. Should make for an interesting night.

I hate the thought of "single mingles". I think it would be too ego crushing to be ignored at one of those. Make you feel like that poor worker robot on that Ford superbowl ad. I would rather have the uncomfortable thought that I'm probably and ugly duckling go unconfirmed, thank you :)
