Alone at the table, with Kate off somewhere, the bartender (45-ish, grey hair, but not terrible) stops at my side.
"I just wanted to say that you and your friend are really beautiful women. I'm the bartender, I'm not trying to hit on you."
And then I said thank you and he walked away. And I sat there smiling to myself.

How NOT to pick up a 25 year old.
Dear drunk middle-aged men:
When you are at a bar, drunk, and you want to talk to a young, attractive woman, do not tell her to "Come here." And when she says, quite rightly, "No." Do not tell her she is mean. She is not mean. If you want to talk to young women you should get up off your bar stool, if you can still stand, and walk over to said woman like gentlemen. And if, after a few minutes, she is being polite but short, maybe you should keep on walking.
Sincerely,
the attractive woman's friend
