Here's My Number............

On Tuesday, I decided to meet a guy that really I could either take or leave.  He wanted to meet for a quick drink and a bite to eat.  I meet my date and we sit down and order drinks and an appetizer.  Out of the corner of my eye I see this beautiful man walk in and sit at a table near me.  He sits at a table with a couple so he is the third wheel.  I cannot take my eyes off of this man.  In my head I nickname him Black Beauty.  I am only half interested in Here's My Number.  I have a few drinks and order a small thing to eat.  My mind was on Black Beauty.  I notice that Black Beauty is also looking at me.  In fact he is almost staring at me.  I get up to go to the bathroom and I notice Black Beauty watching me go to the bathroom.  I get back to my seat with Here's My Number and the only thing I can think of is, "How am I going to get my number to Black Beauty"?  I pull out my phone as if I am taking a note and write my number down on a napkin.  I then go to the bathroom again.  A server approaches me and she asked me if I was on a date.  I tell her yes, but that I need a favor.  I needed her to hand Black Beauty my napkin.  She was against it at first, but then agreed.  SCORE, I had given Black Beauty my number.

Now before I tell you what happened next, I need to clear something up.  I get so many emails and winks from guys that at times I cannot keep them straight.  If I am interested in a guy then I will give him my number.  Now, if I look at a guy's profile I may not look at it again after the first time.  With that being said, I will return to my story.  I get back to my seat and I immediately get a text and in my phone I have this particular number saved as "Black Beauty"  the text reads:

BB:  You passed me......and the bartender gave me your number ironically
Me: OMG I am on a first time date LOL.
BB: Well, did you not know it was me?
Me: No sir, did you recognize me?
BB: YES!!!

So needless to say Black Beauty and I had emailed and texted several times and I had actually blown him off and never met him.  Now, here I am on this date and this Black Beauty catches my eye, I think I am filming Sex and the City and try to give this guy my number when all along I had indeed already spoken to this guy and blown him off.

The text messages continue:

BB: Gotcha.....So that date tonight........and without knowing it was me, BTW I texted you yesterday. Why give the bartender your number when you were on a date.
Me: A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.  Actually I can count on one hand how many times I have given a guy my number.  What are the odds?  Hilarious.

Black Beauty then asks for me to meet me after my date with Here's My Number.  I tell him I can only handle one date in one night.  I promise him that we will meet later that week.

I end my date with Here's My Number which in my mind was not even a real date for him.  Sad for Here's My Number because Black Beauty distracted me from his date.

So far it has not worked out for Black Beauty and I to go out?  What is funny is that when you have something you want something else.  Black Beauty had asked me out twice before and I had blown him off, yet when I saw him I was mesmerized by him.  So why would I blow him off two times before??  Let me just tell you ladies, he is one Black Beauty.
