We all know bars aren't the best places to meet people, but we never really obey that rule. Yes, we all go out to have some champagne here and there so whats the harm in meeting someone else who is just enjoying their cocktail as well? A lot. Everyone is WACK when they are at a bar. It's like the airs different in them and it gives good vibes of one nighters and public make out. Sick! But yes, I've been there and so have you boys and girls. It's only natural. But I actually have not been going out but rather enjoying nights in with loved ones, my journal, or my ear connected on the phone to my sisters that live in different states. Now by doing this, and especially for not having hangovers from drinking, I have my days to do some research on finding the hottest girls and hottest boys who actually share the same interests as you. This entry is going to be an ode to Pittsburgh......but you can truly adopt this to any city.
Whether you are a sporty or artsy person there are places in the city to fit your needs.
Walnut Street in Shadyside. Kinda like a little wannabe M Street in Georgetown minus the fab Intermix and Barneys. Lots of hot boys and girls and tons of coffee shops. Bring that laptop and act like it cannot connect to the WiFi so then you can ask a hot boy or girl that you see to help you out. This leads to conversation which will always lead to dates. Don't be afraid of doing the asking out. Do you really want to live your life thinking "what if?" Museums. I woke up this morning and I couldn't wait to get to the Warhol Museum for the new exhibit! I know some of you don't think this way. I've been gay like this since I was 3 but it's never to late to start showing an interest in Visual Arts. Especially Andy's! The Museum idea also works FABULOUSLY in DC and NYC as well of course! Just drop your program, do the "bend and snap" and you're on your way!!! Carson Street. I'm a sucker for the southside and I love that it's absolutely nuts. Once again.....coffee shops(I have loved the Beehive since I was 14), tons of music venues that gigs usually run at 7pm....a good time because hopefully nobody will be seeing double at 7. Now theres nothing better to me than a guy that either plays or enjoys good music. Soo hot! A million little resterants including my favorite....Mallorca. And the Art Store that's around 24th street I think. I spend hours in this store wishing I could draw, staring at the beautiful white canvases, the lovely oil paints, and always letting myself get something even though I can only draw stick figures. Hey, a girl can dream. I ALWAYS see hotties here. And who doesn't want a boy that can bust out some Leonardo moves and draw you with nothing but a diamond necklace on??? Too busy to go hang out at these places?? No prob. It's called match.com. Now this didn't work for me but I do have a close gf who LOVES it and actually does find boys she likes on it. The best part about Match.com is that is you really want someone that plays tennis, listens to your favorite bands, and has dark hair and dark eyes; you can totally find them. I only found one person that, for me, was datable and we lasted a little over a month. I dumped him because he literally BOREDDDD me to death. And I'm a talker, crazy, fun person and he just wasn't meshing well with my flow so he had to go!
Here's my new favorite spot for meeting hot girls and boys, Wardrobe Fittings, Casting Calls, or on the Set. Yesterday at my Wardrobe fitting(that lasted almost 3 hours!!!!) I met the cutest little model boy. We talked forever and here's the downer, he lives almost 2 hours away from Pittsburgh so I don't do good at LDR's so I had to call it quits but I cannot wait to shoot with this hottie next week. Just love him. Then on my way out I saw two other really hot boys waiting for their fittings. And don't worry guys.....the girls were gorgeous as well!!! So if you have the experience and the looks go read for your local agency and hopefully you will get represented and booked for a few gigs.
And the last thing......you have to have the confidence of no other. I can't stand wimpy guys and girls who complain about "I was too embarrassed to talk to them", "Theres no way a hot boy/girl like them would like me", Or the classic "It's the boys job to ask me out". Well you know what.....it's 2009, we have to make our own paths. If you want something just go after it and get it!
Ohh yes, and lots of girls say sports bars but it's to my belief that this is the worst place. Boys are into sports. Let them have their guy time. They don't come bother us when were getting mani's and pedi's so why bother them. I mean we all saw what happened to Samantha on SATC with her basketball loving boy toy? Complete disaster!
Peace and Love
