Ok, so here’s how this goes. 
What I was wearing:
- 3 sprays of 2.5 mcg Androstenone (back of neck as always)
- 2 sprays of MX203 (sides of neck)
- 3 sprays of Spaceland (hair)
- A little bit of Versace Blue Jeans to cover the none.
Where I was:
There is an older bar near the intersection of Inwood and Lovers here in Dallas called the Inwood Tavern. Now this is somewhat of a peculiar bar in that it hs basically 3 areas and you could almost spit across it if there weren’t walls dividing the areas. One area is a bar with a Cheers feel, another area for Golden Tee and games, and a rather strange area that has nice couches and chairs in a close proximity in front of a TV. We were in the latter and I had one chair, buddy had a chair across the coffe table, and another buddy sitting on the far end of the couch away from me closer to my other friend. We were watching basketball and waiting on my buddy’s girlfriend.
A Litttle Extra Setup on the Situation:
One of the guys is married with a couple of kids, he’s about 35. My other friend is 34 and his girlfriend is I believe 35/36. She’s a very nice-looking woman and extremely warm and nice. (This is in hindsight because this was my first time to meet her. I wasn’t sure of what to expect, although I can say the pictures she has on Facebook don’t do her justice one bit.)
Storyline:
Ok, so as I have said, we were sitting in the backroom in front of the TV watching basketball. In pops my buddy’s girlfriend and she comes and sits on the couch inbetween him and myself. So I don’t know her and my other two budddies are enguaged in conversation…so naturally we begin to chat it up. No problems with flow whatsoever, and she turns out to be a great gal. So after talking with her for about 30 minutes, my buddy starts to get a little agitated that she is not paying attention to him at all, and you could feel a sort of tense situation unfolding. So I got up to use the restroom and came back. She was then talking with her boyfriend.
I sit back down and start paying attention to basketball. Well, damn, within 5 minutes she has me back enguaged in conversation and we’re chatting it up again. (Please note, I am not trying to make any sort of move or anything on friend’s girlfriend. I am not that type of guy.) So after another long conversation about random things, my buddy is again getting agitated. At this point he tells her to switch places on the couch with him and we all start talking around the table. ( I am thinking wow…she moved, he’s irritated…hmmm).
Well the plot thickens. My buddy (one with GF) decided to get up and go out back to make a phone call. Dammit if she didn’t slide back down to my end of the couch.
I am thinking of how in the hell to get her back to the other end before friend returns. Well, I decided to stand up and head to other end of the couch and hang out there as to draw her back until my buddy returned. He came back and I think the situation is diffused. NO!
We’re all talking again, and she whips out this Fedora. Seriously badass fedora that she said she picked up in the men’s department at Nordstrom’s. (Which strangely enough I went into Nords the other day and saw the rack.) She told me to put it on because she wanted to see if it looked good on me. Now I didn’t refuse as to be an ass (I know I know.
) so I put on the hat. She said you look great…that looks great on you. My buddy was a bit perturbed and took the hat off my head and put it on his own. She told him that it didn’t work for him and to give it back to me because I wore it better!
So I’m wearing this fedora that’s causing trouble. After the last exchange I looked across the table at my married buddy. We exchanged that look of “oh God man this is an awkward situation”. Everytime I would put the hat down, she would tell me to put it back on…And finally she said that the hat just looked right on me and that I could have it. (Buddy is highly irritated with her comments.)
We are getting ready to leave and I realize I am outta smokes. (I know terrible habbit.) So, I looked in my wallet and I’m outta cash. There was nothing I could do, because this happens to be one of the only bars I know of that doesn’t have an ATM. She sees me fumbling for money and asks what I am looking for…I tell her I need some cash to go to the cigarette machine, but I’m out…oh well. She says here take $10 and go get some. (Again, first time I had met the girl, she already gave me a fedora, and now is a nonsmoker offering to pay for a smoker’s cigarettes without flinching…
) My buddy watched all of this go down and said “I’ve about had enough of this shit!” There was nothing I could do. I believe the pheros really had an impact on this girl.
So we all head back to my buddy’s place and have a beer. She says she is going to bed (at my friend’s place) and comes over and gives me a hug and says goodnight without giving my buddy a hug or a kiss. I was about ready for her to get outta there so that she didn’t cause our friendship anymore awkwardness.
I ended up crashing there and left in the morning, and didn’t see either of them when I woke up. I got my keys and fedora and left.
Well, that is the tale of the fedora. I hope you all enjoy it.
Take Care and Kind Regards,
