Connell Barrett

I remember the first time I got this, I approached a very pretty mid twenties young woman.

I remember, I believe she is a Latina and,

And I met her out at a bar.

I approached her and we sat down and we were about 10 minutes into a conversation that was effectively a first date.

And I wanted to tell her she's sexy.

I didn't quite have the balls to.

So I told her that something she was into was sexy.

I forget what it was, but it was something like she liked to solo travel in Europe.

And I said, oh, wow, that's cool.

You know, people who like to do that, they're very sexy.

And she leaned toward me with her eyes all big, like encouraging me, almost like, come on, come on, Connell.

And she said, so are you saying I'm sexy?

Connell?

She was coaching me in real time.

And I said, yes, you're sexy.

She's like, thank you.

She was basically saying, if you think I'm sexy, tell me.

So I want you to keep this in mind.

I've told this story too, but on my first date with Jess, my girlfriend Jess, we're on my rooftop

And we're having a couple glasses of wine.
