It’s a bit crowded in here. We wait patiently for a table. None of the employees has acknowledged our presence. I mention that to Dom, then as an after though I add “I guess they won’t come and state the obvious.” The place is packed and my only option is to either face in to the restaurant and watch people eat or face Dom and my brother and present my ass to the nearest table. I present my ass to the nearest table. Four people come in to the four square foot “lobby” at the door. It’s a guy and three women. The guy asks how long we’ve been waiting and I tell him “Two hours man.” His eyes widen slightly and I let him know I’m kidding. We all share in some laughter. They talk amongst themselves and we are pressed together in that small area. In fact we are so close together that one of the ladies has her shoulder touching my chest. I tell her it’s nice to meet her she smiles and chuckles. At this point the guy heads out to see if there is another place nearby. They are meeting a group of people. He comes back about a minute later and as they are leaving she says bye. I tell her to have a good night.
We are still waiting. Dom tells me “Good flirt, if you had a few more minutes you could have gotten her number.” In all honesty I hadn’t realized that I flirted with her or that she had reciprocated. I’m stupid when it comes to that stuff. A few minutes pass and the one I had flirted with comes back and asks us to keep an eye out for some more people. I say asks us but she was talking to me. She leaves. Minutes pass and two women walk in and they look like they are searching for someone. We ask if they are looking for a group of people. They say they are. We direct them across the street to where the others went.
We now have our table and have placed out order. She comes back again and while looking at me asks if we can keep an eye out for additional people. Of course we will. When she’s gone Dom tells me I had 3 chances and blew them all… Two more women come in and look around. Dom says to them “You. Come here. I know you don’t know us but come here anyways. If you’re looking for a group of people they are across the street.” She looked like she was expecting us to tell her she was on candid camera. As they are leaving I tell them to tell everyone I say hi.
Now my question is this: Did I indeed miss an opportunity there? What do you think?
