Chrissy's Mojo

I have to admit, when I was told that Emily's friend Chrissy had some major mojo, I didn't know the extent to which it applied. This past Friday, I got to see it in action.

She hadn't been at the Bean for longer than 5 minutes when three guys sidled up to our booth with a very calculated, "Hellloooo ladieeeees..." Keep in mind, Virginia and I had been there for at least 20 minutes, nursing beers and listening to music with nary a nibble in sight. The ringleader was a very cute, very secure guy who immediately pulled up a couple of stools for his compadres and scooted in next to C. If you ever get the chance, take Chrissy out with you. She's the most powerful guy magnet I've ever seen.

You may be wondering if Jason, my 25-year old boy, was at the Bean that evening, and I'm happy to announce that he was. He was just as cute as I remembered, in a rumpled yellow Polo oxford, jeans, and the backwards Redskins baseball cap. We played darts, flirted a bit, and at one point, he re-tied my sash that V had conveniently yanked free. He put his arm around me quite a bit, but nothing pervy or even remotely inappropriate (dammit!). Somehow, in my efforts to keep things light, I didn't find out why he hadn't called, and I'm still a little confused about that. I get the feeling that he likes spending time with me, but isn't exactly going to go out of his way to make sure it happens. So does this mean I keep going to the Bean religiously, or play hard to get? Does he even still have that Lean Cuisine coupon?

At the end of the night, when we were settling up tabs, one of Jason's friends snapped a picture of us with his cell phone. J had his arm around me and I was smiling, praying that I didn't have anything in my teeth or an extra chin. All he said was that he had a good time, and that he'd see me around at the Bean again. Is this his way of saying he just wants to be friends? Boys are so confusing. Weigh in on this one please, there are only a handful of days til I see him again, and I'm not sure how to play this hand!
