A Friday night out to the infamous Joshua Tree located in the heart of Murray Hill. It was named by Time Out New York one of the top Hookup bars in Manhattan. I went with my roommate Jenna, and my two other friends Jenna and Alissa.
We walked into Joshua Tree with the 80’s music blasting and made our way to the bar. We got a round of drinks, did the walk thru (like all girls do) to check out the crowd, and than found our own spot to hang out.
Than we spot a group of 3 guys near us, and 1 of them was looking pretty good. They did the whole lets stare at the group of girls, but not say anything routine. Stop fucking looking and say something. They broke the ice when the very attractive one dropped his empty beer bottle. Some way to break the ice.
So we’re talking to them for awhile, and Glen (the attractive one) says how hes a Medic for the Marines and he’s only back home for another 10 days and than he goes back to San Diego. So he just got that more attractive that he wears a uniform.
So Glen and I are talking, he’s from Long Island originally, buys me a few more drinks, and than after being peer pressured by my friends he kissed me. So the nights going pretty good. Getting free drinks, got kissed, and was having a good time with some good friends.
Glen was staying at his friends apartment, but said he wanted to hangout with me more and suggested that he stay at my place. Now, I don’t bring back random guys, but he seemed nice, and I wouldn’t mind getting to know him more.
So we go back to my apartment, we’re laying down, made out, didn’t have sex, and than he says something that I am completely taken back by. Prepare yourself. I wish I did.
“I want to impregnate you, and have you come to San Diego with me.” WHAT THE FUCK? IMPREGNATE ME? IM 20. Now I understand we’ve all been drinking a little, but ummm..yeah..never got that one before. He said it again that he wanted me to have his kids. He asked me how I felt about that. I didn’t want to freak out because you really never know what people might do, so I just said, we just met calm down over there. I wouldn’t mind going to visit him in San Diego, that would be fun, I’ve never been to Cali. BUT TO HAVE FUCKING BABIES GROWING INSIDE ME? NO THANKS SWEETHEART. I swear, I meet every fucking weirdo.
So a little later when the alcohol was wearing off I asked him what that was all about. He said “Sorry, forget it, the military kind of fucked me up a little.” I said, “Why, because your 30 and you now want to have kids and a family?” Obviously his answer was Yes. Now I respect that he wants a family now, and that its hard to start one while your still involved with the military. BUT COME THE FUCK ON? YOU MET ME AT A BAR ON 3RD AVE TONIGHT? Such a Casual Friday.
I walked Glen out at 4am and than had 4 hours left to sleep before I had to get up for work. He told me he wanted to see me before he went back to San Diego, but I’m not holding my breath on getting a call from him, nor do I really want one after he said he wants to impregnate me.
New York City, I love you, but I’m not ready to get pregnant.
