Eleven

Another great night of dancing - once a month a bar I like has MJ & Prince night, where they are the only two musicians who are played the entire night - it is magical, genius, and perfect.  Side note: This is the same place I met Nine, and I was definitely hoping that he would be there - no such luck.  As my friend and I were leaving, a guy that I had seen working the crowd throughout the night walked by.  He was a good-looking dude and definitely knew it.  He didn’t seem douchey (but I've been known to have a high tolerance for douchebags), just really smooth.  When he walked by I made some comment to him about being a lady’s man, and he stopped and said, “Now why’s that?” “Oh, you know you’re a handsome man; I saw you in there making your rounds smiling at all the ladies.”  He chuckled and said, “Hi, I’m Eleven.”  “Eleven, nice to meet you.  I’m Penelope.  What’s your sign?”  “Virgo, former Libra.”  “What?  Did you change your birthday?  I'm a Libra and always a Libra.”  Discovering that I don’t pay much attention to events of the world, Eleven briefly educated me on the earth's rotation and the updated astrological signs.  Then we joked around about the need to redesign all of our Libra tattoos.  All of this led to the clear transition to my follow-up question.

“So, Lady’s Man, how many girlfriends do you have right now?”  “Well, Man’s Lady, zero.  Believe it or not I’ve never had a girlfriend.”  “What?! How is that possible?  I tell you what, I don’t need to be your girlfriend, but I’ll give you my number and we can just go on a date.”  Totally smooth, right?  Eleven gets out his phone and saves my number as "Penelope Man's Lady" and says, “Alright, and then we’ll go to dinner.”  We said goodbye, and then I walked away with my friend who was just rolling her eyes  at me.  I have the most patient and awesome friends ever!
