Accidentley chatted up a fella "awkward"

bogwalrus · 31-10-2013 1:36am #1

I am a straight male and do not go out drinking on the town much. Had an extremely awkward moment at the bar last weekend that I cant seem to shake. I have flash backs and it just makes me squirm. Maybe some of yee have had similar experience you can share so I know I am not alone.

So I'm up at the bar after having around 7 glasses of wine and ready for another nice tempranillo. The place is jammed and really noisy cause the singer from the commitments dad is on stage playing some bluesy Jazz.

I heard the guy next to me order a "cointreau" but what I heard was "can I have two C**T rows". (try imagine a Cork accent)

I said, hey iv'e never heard of that before, is it a cocktail? He looks at me and says yeah. It had been a long time since I had a bar counter chat so I continued inquiring about these two "C**T rows".

I was like so whats in the drink.

He kind of glanced at me and I remember I put on a big smile for some reason.

He looks away and out of complete awkwardness I asked him so do you come here often.

It was one of those moments where I realised exactly what I had just said and quickly said to him "i'm not trying to come on to you or anything".

He looked so freaked and it was silence for the next minute or so until he got his drinks.

I can honestly say I have never been in a more awkward situation.

Please anyone else?

Its around 5 glasses to a bottle in most places in Cork so lets say I had around a bottle and half to drink throughout the evening until pretty late. It was a very nice wine.

Yeah I get seriously hungover if I drink beer after wine. Whats the rhyme again? Beer before wine and you'll be fine.

I eyed up a hot blonde last night wearing a mini at a bustop.

I was standing there alone and she strolled up and stood in a few feet from me - lovely legs, nice arse.

Then she turned around and said:

"Mate, do you reckon I look like a bird?"

Was a guy on his way to a Halloween party :cool:

Grayditch · 31-10-2013 1:45am

Wine. Jazz. Just come out, mate.

Plazaman · 31-10-2013 1:50am

Glad to hear Rob Strong is still playing. Much better than the son.

Anyway, chatting up lads, somewhere along the line that night, you may have caught the ghey.

Background story, it was funny. Lighten the f*ck up.

Old Dan Tucker · 31-10-2013 1:52am

I had a few Cunt Rows before.

It's a cocktail named after Benburb St.

I think some people might be able to picture the situation a bit better than others. It was really awkward when I asked if he comes here often. I think the fella felt uncomfortable talking to me from the start as I basically said to him "I have never heard of a contreau before".

shoot me now:(

But you already knew what was in the drink... as you'd just slipped some Roofalin in just moments before

Idle small talk until the drug kicked in and you could take him home and have your way..

Sinfonia · 31-10-2013 2:13am

The other guy sounds like a bit of a douche.
He seems more socially awkward than you, at least.

You're not a real man if you've not had at least one gay experience before you're 30.

Yeah it's:
Beer before wine and you'll be fine.
Wine before beer and you're a queer

...or something like that

SparkySpitfire · 31-10-2013 2:17am

What the effs a tempranillo?

bogwalrus · 31-10-2013 2:19am

I never thought of myself as socially awkward up until this event but that was maybe due to not actually being out drinking in months. When in doubt blame the other person, I like that thought.

In this context I believe it's a euphemism for sodomy.

I think we are missing the crucial question here - who the fuck drinks straight Cointreau?

Top shelf Margaritas yes, but sipping it - bleaaaagh.

Rayne Wooney · 31-10-2013 2:46am

OP if you want to take this thread to the next level you should find him on Facebook and send him a subtle message

"Hi, it's me from the bar, fancy lobbing it in xoxo"

should suffice.

Keep us updated

You just wanted cock and are now asking us all if it's ok and if any of us are closet steamers like you.

Shane-KornSpace · 31-10-2013 3:07am

They say you're most truthful when you're drunk.

Maybe you actually wanted him to come to your pants party?

After a quick glance at the gig listings for last weekend the OP was actually in a gay bar getting hammered on wine on his todd and is now trying to make himself feel better having been turned down, better luck next time op

It's fine. He was only some randomer in a bar, who cares what he thought. Good lesson for you though not to be gushing at strangers after 2 bottles of wine, if you did it more often you'd realise it often ends with funny looks.

No one drinks cointreau anyway, half the country wouldn't have recognised the word either.

I once got talking to a guy in a nightclub. It was a fairly brief conversation but we hit it off and I took his number.

It wasn't until the following morning I realised there had been some confusion.

I thought he was selling yolks, turns out he was gay and looking for the ride.

Another time I was with mates in McDonalds in O'Connel Street in the wee hours of the morning. We were talking when this guy came over, I told him to take a hike but then felt bad when I saw him sitting on his own looking down. I invited him over and we got talking. He spent the next 30 minutes trying to convince me it wouldn't be gay if I kissed him. I disagreed, then he tried to follow us into our taxi.

These things happen OP, don't stress about it.

Rubberchikken · 31-10-2013 9:00am

7 glasses of wine,
in Cork,
don't hold out on us.

go easy on yourself btw.

After a night out, having some drunk food, this guy sits next to me and begins chatting to me and my friends. Out of the blue he declares his endless love for me and that he wanted to go home with me. Couldn't get rid of him until I got in a taxi and left him drunk on the quays.

donegal__road · 31-10-2013 10:08am

I was in a bar in Montreal on my own one night sitting at the bar having a couple of quiet ones, and after the 3rd pint I needed a pee, so I asked the waitress when she came round 'sorry could you tell me where the gents are in this place'.. to which she replied with a look of shock on her face, '.. we dont do that type of thing round here'

in Canada the toilets are referred to as the washroom or the restroom, their never referred to as the gents..
