3rd time's the charm?

Last Wednesday, on night #2 of "The Experiment", we found ourselves at a classy, upscale bar downtown.  Before arriving, we had joked that it might be a good place to find an older, sugar-daddy type.  We were wrong.  The place was crawling with men... unfortunately, they were all sitting in groups at tables throughout the restaurant, ostensibly having business meetings.  

There was one attractive fella around our age, who walked in, sat directly across the bar from where we were and smiled at each of us as if mentally playing eeny-meeny-miney-moe.  However, before any of us could decide whether or not we wanted to engage him,  in walked his prey.  That's right... while sipping our $12 cocktails and listening to the soft music of the baby grand piano behind us, we got to witness a cougar hunt of epic proportion.    

So, for the sake of scientific research as well as entertainment, we kept an eye on that situation, but proceeded to once again talk only to each other and the cute bartender.  In case I haven't mentioned this before, all 3 of us work in a restaurant.  And after last week, I had the realization that you can "take the girls out of the restaurant, but you can't take the restaurant out of the girls".  Checking out the hot, kitchen guys when they come out to the bar for a drink, and flirting with the cute, funny bartender...this is what we know.  This is what we are comfortable with.  That's just one more thing to work on, though it's not without its perks.  We managed to score complimentary creme brule and dessert wine, which frankly, was more satisfying than some of the sex I've had in recent years.  

So, although the night was once again fruitless,  I'd still call it a success on some level.  Each week we learn a little more, and each week our confidence grows.  Tonight, we're classin' it up once again and heading to a ritzy part of town.  Goal for the evening:  Talk to someone who isn't paid to talk to us.
