new pick up joint?

The city has several well known non-bar pick up joints, some quite bizarre. For example, you should avoid putting your bananas pointing upwards in the trolley at a particular local supermarket on certain nights of the week, unless you’re looking for a bit of action. Well, The Boy seems to have inadvertently discovered another random joint last night. And not one that would ever be his cup of tea.

I had a work dinner last night, so The Boy decided that he’d go to a movie then we’d go home together. This was fine by me, and it meant that he could see a boy-flick that I have no interest in.

Anyway, the dinner went a little later than I’d expected, so after the movie The Boy was killing some time in a nearby bookstore. He was sitting in one of the chairs they provide, reading a magazine, when the magazine was suddenly “bumped” by a set of male buttocks. After a rather curt word from The Boy, the buttocks moved away. Then, shortly afterwards, a pretty young man invited The Boy to come home with him “for a drink”. And didn’t want to take no for an answer (until the no became somewhat less than polite).

I’d like to point out that The Boy is definitely a manly man – he doesn’t look the least bit effeminate. He certainly wouldn’t normally be hit on, let alone so aggressively, by not one but two guys in a bookstore.

After this, The Boy took a look around at the store’s clientele and their behaviour, and came to the conclusion that the bookstore in question has a gay singles night on Tuesdays. Talk about wrong place, wrong time…
