Face To Face Or The Net?

The club is dimly lit, you enter alone, you spot the trio on the small stage in the far corner and what you hear is most definitely music to your ears. You have decided not to spend another night alone at home and not to sit at your computer looking for company online; this is how you come to be shown to a small cozy table in a Blues club. From somewhere deep inside, you have gained the courage to venture forth on your own and you are looking forward to having music surround you instead of silence or t.v. babble. You quickly forget that you are solo and you begin to feel as one within the small crowd of live music lovers. The truth is that you did not go out looking to meet anyone so you are quite surprised to actually become involved in a conversation with someone who is both attractive and intelligent who like you, loves to listen to your favourite kind of music. The evening flies by on the wings of interesting conversation and terrific music so that in the end you are convinced that your decision to take yourself out for a night on the town was the right one. Certainly this was the better option, and had you stayed home on the net, you probably wouldn't have been given that telephone number, at least not YET!!
