Not a big fan of parties myself, I usually prefer staying at home after a long, hard day of work next to my TV remote and a bowl of nachos, comfortably snuck into my blanket. Even when it’s Friday, I still hate it when someone calls with sudden plans at 9 p.m. However, this one was inevitable: it was my best friend’s big thirtieth birthday and she decided to celebrate it at a local night club with alcohol and dancing to “ease the pain of growing older and uglier”, as she called it.
So there I was, picking out an outfit and putting my make up on. My friends picked me up in a cab and we were on our way to the club. The birthday girl was already dancing with a bunch of her colleagues, the others joined in on the fun and I decided to start it off with a couple of drinks at the bar. Before I know it, I was making small talk with one of her male colleagues that apparently “could use a little break” after spending all day at the office.
Well, I’m not really a people person too, but being the most sober one in the crowd, I guess I was stuck with him. It would’ve all been cool if he didn’t started using cheesy conversation starters, like the one that I was probably sitting here alone because I scared off all my admirers with my stone-cold, heart-breaking look. I haven’t heard such funny pick up lines since I was in high school and the only time we ever went out was at someone’s house, when their parents were gone for the weekend. Yes, the boys were too young then, but this one was an adult and that’s why I started finding it more and more fun to encourage his conversation.
I guess I was a little too obvious in how annoyed I was with his tacky jokes that he finally gave up on trying to pick me up and actually started making decent talk. In fact, we hit it off so well that I joined in on his sense of humor with a couple of funny one liners I knew myself. Soon we were both making fun of our unsuccessful flirts and failed relationships and even started sharing funny texts from people who didn’t stand a chance. And the most hilarious joke I probably heard all night was that the only difference between a woman in PMS and a pitbull was lipstick!
Now when I think of that night, I realize how much I’ve changed. Sometimes, a silly joke might surprise you and sound hilariously funny when you get to know the person telling it a little better. It was a good birthday party and I can say I actually enjoyed myself. Was my best friend mad that I spent the entire night conversing with a stranger and not drinking away my age with her? Sure she was. But she kind of forgave me everything when it turned out it was her birthday that brought my future husband to me.
