Same here!
I dunno why, but I was convinced I had to go to this show downtown. It helped that it was at "my" bar. While there, I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a long time who introduced me to his on-again, off-again girlfriend. M. in turn introduced me to a table full of good-looking, friendly guys--mostly townies. I sat down, and promptly started talking to the guy to my left, who I had had a philosophy class with. While we were chatting, I was checking out the guy to my right, who seemed very cool and aloof. He had this shaggy hair that hung in his eyes. I seem to recall he was wearing a polo shirt and some kind of necklace, and I thought he seemed interesting. I also noted that he had an enormous nose--I love enormous noses. At some point, my conversation partner offered to buy me a beer, and I agreed. While he was gone to the bar, I took the opportunity to make a few comments about the band on stage to the guy on my right, and to my amazement, he laughed. We started talking, and by the time the first guy made it back with my beer, I had pretty much made up my mind.
To make a long story short, I offered to buy him a Dewars and water over at the other bar I frequented, and he accepted. We've been together for over two years now. Crazy.
