Looking, checking

In response to my post about my first date that, well, just plain sucked, Chris, a good friend who I still haven't met personally, gave me what I think is the best tip in the world...

THE BEST PLACES TO MEET DISCREET GUYS

Places to meet discreet guys and NOT catch them in the "i want sex" mode or be thought of as in that mode.

(1) badminton court. basketball court. tennis court. (the guy with the other guys but who somewhat keeps physically distant from the rest.)

(2) bookstores. (the one browsing -- not the one looking at everyone who passes by.)

(3) groceries (esp sunday evenings, the guy who is shopping alone and doesn't carry a list. check out what he buys, that is very telling.)

(4) gym (the more "suplado" ones -- pero di yung nagmamaganda lang. i think i mean the one who doesn't get too close to the other gym bunnies or the instructors but who is seriously working out. NOT in the shower, locker, sauna or steam room please!)

(5) places where straights go gimmick. (they're the ones without the date -- e.g. couple +1. or the ones who are with more than one female date -- one guy, 3 girls, for example. or one of the guys who are with one girl who doesn't exactly look like a date -- e.g. 3 or 2 guys, 1 girl.)

(6) in your building (at home or at work BUT not from your floor or your office, please.)

(7) school. MBA is a good source. =)


The guy you want:

(1) he's the guy the looks at you more than 3 seconds, more than twice. if he smiles, be brave and smile back. look, don't stare.

(2) he'll be harder to figure out -- coz he's discreet. you might actually end up meeting a straight guy so you just have to be patient and collect friends.

(3) dressed and groomed ordinarily -- neat but not too distinguishable from the crowd. not the one who looks like he is trying to get into a fashion magazine.

Another thing that Chris tells me is this: Quality takes time. Which makes absolute sense, I know. Quality equals going through rounds of barf and disasters before hitting the prized bone. Sorry, poor choice of metaphor.

My message to The One, show yourself, man.
