Applebee's Boy

Last March I went to Applebee's to drop off a flyer for work and a very attractive waiter was standing there to greet me. We talked while he sent someone else to go get the manager for me. He had a great smile and was genuinely interested in me and my job. The manager unfortunately came back too soon and so I left.

Then a couple weeks later one of my friends wanted to take me out to lunch for my birthday and we ended up going to Applebee's. And of course, Applebee's boy was there. He wasn't my waiter but since it was my birthday, they brought out a shot and sang happy birthday to me. He decided to make me stand on my chair while they were singing.

Since my birthday happens to fall on April Fool's Day, I decided I needed to get him back. So I wrote a note on a napkin saying since it was my birthday, I told my server just to give him my bill and have him take care of it for me. I thanked him, signed it, and gave him my number [which by the way, was the boldest move I've ever made]! I asked my server to give him the note and then we left. Unfortunately, she seemed pretty confused by it all so I wasn't sure if it was going to happen.

A couple days later, I got a text from none other than Applebee's boy. He would always invite me out to meet up with him and his friends but it never worked out. Then he got a job in St. Louis and moved there.

Flash forward a year - I hadn't heard from him. I almost deleted his number a month or so ago, but last week I got a random text from him asking me if I would be in St. Louis that weekend. I assumed he had texted the wrong girl but he said he intentionally text me because it was mardis gras in St. Louis so he figured if there was ever a time I would be there, it would be that weekend. I, of course, was not going to be there, but we text back and forth quite a bit and have been texting since then. He said it had been too long since we last spoke and that he would definitely let me know the next time he's in town [his friends still go to school here].

We'll see if he ever does, but it was still kind of exciting and flattering to know that he was thinking about me enough to see if I was going to be in St. Louis.

In other boy news: B and I hung out last week. He got sick and asked me to nurse him back to health. I took some medicine over to him before work one day and then he invited me over to watch a movie the next night. He held my hand the whole time and gave me a hug when I left. Oh, men...if only they could make up their minds!
