So it's been many years, but I had a dream about this guy the other night, and this is preying on my mind. I wanted to share this story just to see if something similar has happened to others. Here we go, kind of long, so I'll break it up.
New Year's Eve 1989
I spent the last night of 1988 bar hopping with my friend Dan and we got invited to a house party.
It was a huge apartment on the third floor, I didn't know these people and hadn't been there before.
The party was very mixed, straight and gay, but the music and vibe in the room was really welcoming and positive. A few people I knew from the bars were there, and we had fun mingling and dancing. About an hour after midnight in walked three guys, all early 20's, on the prowl. Two of them were styled quintessential 1980's, their hair shellac'd into place with copious amounts of mousse and AquaNet, their clothes were bright, flashy and trendy, and they both had on guyliner and earrings. They were both male model handsome, but their looks were obviously pretty high maintenance. These two made a quick beeline for the hottest girls at the party and began flirting.
The third guy, quite the contrast to his friends, was effortlessly gorgeous. The way he looked, the way he was dressed, he literally could have stepped out of any of the previous three decades and fit right in, he had a classic simplicity. Black leather jacket, maroon sweater with a white teeshirt underneath, basic Levi's jeans (not the acid-washed kind) and high-top white sneakers. He had medium length brown/black hair without a touch of product in it, just wash and go, stunning blue bedroom eyes, full lips and he had a day or two of stubble growth. He looked like going out on New Year's Eve was an afterthought, and probably spent all of two minutes getting ready. Couldn't be bothered
to even shave. His friends looked like they had primped for hours. He seemed more shy than his gregarious buddies, so he found himself a beer and parked his butt on a couch. It didn't take long before the sharks started circling. Within a minute some blonde girl sat next to him and they began talking. Oh well. A brunette girl sat opposite him and was also vying for his attention. Then a very flamboyant gay guy stood behind the couch and tried playing with his hair, but he got shot down with just a serious glance, no words necessary. It was then that I just assumed he was as straight as his friends.
