whats your potential? ***

to the girl that made out with me on thursday night – thanks for making the first move. (im shy).

to the girl that i spent two hours talking about literature with on friday night - you made me smile when you said, ‘i had a lot more fun than i expected tonight’, because i felt the exact same way.

to the irish lass who drank with me till five am on saturday night – i had fun talking with you, and im sorry i didn’t ask for your number. i didn’t ask for your number NOT because i didn’t want to see you again, but because i didn’t want to be cliché.

and sometimes i hate being cliché.

sometimes i hate being cliché more than i hate being alone.

it was a good weekend.

but it wasn’t a great weekend.

it was a weekend with plenty potential.

but it wasn’t a weekend with plenty of results.

…

i got the digi’s from the girl on thursday night.

she made a really big deal about giving me her number.

she made such a big deal that it made me wonder why she didn’t call me back when i called her.

i waited a day before i called.

maybe she was embarrassed about making out a little before i left the bar.

maybe she was embarrassed about being so forward.

maybe she was embarrassed and decided that it was better to NOT return my call and be re-embarrassed again.

so i called her a second time.

just to be sure.

…

i expected more people to show up for the event on friday night.

ALOT more people.

don’t get me wrong - more people doesn’t necessarily equate to more fun.

but more people does equates to a more opportunities.

and more opportunities equates to greater potential.

and greater potential is what its all about.

potential?

potential for what?

potential for whatever is really the answer.

the potential for greatness, and the potential for failure.

the potential for connecting with someone, and the potential for feeling alone amongst a crowd of strangers.

that is what 'friday' nights are all about.
