When you get to the bar at 8pm, it’s real early in the evening. A couple of possibilities make you turn your head and you start thinking how good they look.
Now, the fact is that you aren’t as young as you used to be, so you are only looking to make 1 choice that evening.
It’s Saturday night, just after 8pm. The night is young. Why would you make a decision so early ? Your wingman is right there making sure that you see what you both need to see. It’s a long way off until last call, almost 6 hours.
Don’t you think that there will be plenty of talent to choose from long before both hands are on 12 ?
What’s the rush… patience is a virtue. Around 10 or 10:30, the selection should be better, and still give you plenty of choices of exactly what you are looking for, rather than the one that reminds you of being in Amsterdam every night that you peek out your window.
It’s a long way from last call. If it were 1:30am, I might be suggesting that you check it out, but I gotta remind you that it’s not even 8:30 yet and time to order another drink, and keep your eyes on the door for what may appear.
Make sure that your watch is on west coast time. Relax for another hour or so and stick around, because you know it’s going to get more interesting….The closest you want to be to Amsterdam is ordering a Heinekin.
