Flirtation as a second language

Last week some friends and I went to a bar on U Street. We had a few drinks, a hookah or two, and then the next morning all four of us called in sick for work. Fun night, terrible hangover!

On our road to hangover hell, I was the only person at our table who wanted to dance. My friends pointed across the room, “Go dance with that guy.” “That guy” would be the one dancing by himself all night long with the flipped up collar and the goofy grin on his face. The one who looks really desperate. You’ve seen his type before. Pretty sure the friends were just making fun, but yeah, that’s the guy I went to go dance with. At least someone wanted to dance, what the hell!

So, I go out to dance with this guy who, no kidding, has been making a spectacle of himself the whole time we were there. The dancing, the grin, the collar… the dancing… by himself. Nobody wants to be that guy. But once I started talking to him, it all changed. Everything was immediately cool. He was German! He had a thick accent and was clearly still struggling with the English language. Suddenly, it didn’t seem weird at all. Drunk All-American boy dancing like that = totally weird. European = Awesome! So, I danced it up until my friends were ready to leave. I gave my new German friend my number and my three friends and I left to go kidnap Mike Tyson’s tiger and pull our own teeth out. I hadn’t heard from my new German friend until today. He sent me a text “Hi, pretty girl…” with his email address to get in touch. Of course I had to email back and called him out for calling me “pretty girl” b/c he couldn’t remember my name. What I received in response was quite possibly the coolest email I have ever received. Enjoy!
