Fairy Tale Ending


Craigslist's Missed Connections is a rich source of inspiration for me, I have to admit.  It helps me through periods of doubt about missing out not being in the infamous "bar scene" (not even in the "I'm not really in the bar scene" bar scene).

I mean, check out this fairy tale Missed Connection from the most recent iteration of Guerilla Queer Bar...

Matt from Lexington (aka Cinderfella) - m4m - 22 (guerilla queer bar)

At first I was nervous that you'd be put off by the fact that when we met, I was alone in the coat room, drinking from a bottle of jack daniels. My fears were quickly assuaged, however, as you were clearly unfazed by this and very friendly.

The next 20 magical minutes were spent in a charming convo covering topics such as... lexington... and... maybe education reform? I can't say for certain, due to the effects of A) the multiple, multiple beers I'd had at dinner B) your cool hair C) the aforementioned jack daniels.

Anyway, so we're having a grand ole time, just chumming it up like a regular Blanche and Dorothy, then, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, your coat is on and you are out the door with barely a parting word. I would not be at all surprised if you had left a sensible glass loafer on the stairs in the lobby. If I hadn't seen your back going out the door, I probably would have thought you Disapparated.

Now I really can't blame you for wanting to escape my whiskey-soaked ass, but your "last stroke of midnight"-inspired methodology was a little distressing (and lot impressive). At any rate, I think that things had been going pretty well -until you literally ran away in the other direction- don't you? If you want to give it another shot, do get back to me (and tell me what I was wearing or something in your reply). If next time, you again feel the need to GTFO of the room, I'll totally understand and won't hold it against you.

note: there is also a possibility your name is not Matt.... Matt or not, I thought you were great.
Let's hope the Prince wipes the crusted vomit from his lips before kissing his Cinderfella!

    "ALL OF THE SUDDEN?!?!?"

    That would be more than enough to keep me from contacting him again if I were Matt...or whatever his name really is.

    For a 22-year old, he has quite the range of vocabulary, cultural references, and literary styles. It sounds like something Rufus Wainwright could have written in his diary a couple of years ago.

      Well, I guess if they're gonna be young I prefer them dumb and hung.
