local newspaper confirms: I’m rotting on the vine
We have a local newspaper in town, with a ‘Ask a Question’ blog component online; so I asked the following 2 weeks ago…
Q: I just moved here, I’m 34, I’d like to meet people my own age… the bars here seem to be full of kids spilling drinks on themselves… where does a guy go to meet 25+/’30 something’ year old single women in this town?
A: Yes, the bars here are no place for a guy like you … Try going grocery shopping on Sunday afternoon, buying a puppy (instant chick magnet) or hanging out at Angelo’s Arts &Crafts store.
I now have 14 puppies, a lifetime supply of water based paint, and a refridge full of rotting food, and none of the cashiers still have any idea what I’m talking about, and are like, “someone from the newspaper told you to come here to get a date?!?”

That had me in tears…the only thing I want to know is…Did you get a date at anytime…I mean in live in CA and most of the women at the craft store is like 45-99…
Just wanted to let you know that was funny as hell…and is it a true story?

I’ve had tons of people tell me that the grocery store is the place to meet people. But that NEVER happens. There’s just no way to strike up a conversation over produce. Only happens in the movies.
