They’re all hiding
Filed Under (Relationships) by Big Orange Michael on 08-11-2007

A couple of weeks ago, my co-blogger for About-Nashville, Emily commented on the fact that Nashville is one of the top 40 places in the country for singles and yet she couldn’t find any of these alleged single professionals out there.

Apparently, they’re hiding out. At least that’s the theory that Katie has come up with.

I have a theory cooking anyway. I think that all of the single date-able* guys in Nashville have a secret exclusive area where they hang out, away from the prying eyes of weirdos like me. I have yet to find this place. It could be the Kroger in Hermitage. The place is literally crawling with guys…too bad I’m too shy and dorky to actually TALK to one. Here’s how the conversation would go:

ME: “Hi, how’s it going?”
HIM: “Fine.”
ME: “Okay.” –slink away in shame–

Katie, I feel you. I think there’s got to be some place in Nashville that all the dateable* single ladies are hiding out as well. Of course, it could be that the reason they’re all there is they’re hiding out from me….

And I’ve heard rumors that the Kroger in Hermitage is the hot-bed for singles. Apparently you tie a certain color ribbon or something to your cart to indicate that you’re single. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Or is like Fight Club where you don’t talk about Fight Club?

Rats. When I lived in Hermitage, I shopped at Publix. Story of my life.

Wait. I live in Hermitage. And my wife has ribbons in her van. Hmmm…..

I’d think the ladies would run the gauntlet to find any guy named “Big O” Michael.

Just sayin.

Perhaps you should consider calling yourself “Multiple Michael.”

My brother…he’s cute and single.
I want him to find a girlfriend that isn’t crazy, anyone reading this should go say hi to him at Paradise Park, his name is Chris.

Well, they certainly aren’t hiding out at McFaddens. Door guy was nice, but otherwise plastic blah. Think the anti-Cheers. The LCD in nightlife. Perhaps on another evening it will be better…

Katie, I feel you.

I think you need to watch your phraseology young man! ;)

Sorry. Waiting for 30 minutes in a line, when we had an “express pass” probably flavored my comments in a big, big way. I think when you replace a Nashville icon you should be held to a certain standard. Third, Disney’s Epcot has more Irish vibe that this frou frou version at McFadds. And most DC nightlife wasn’t that popped collar oriented. Although, no actual popped collars were sighted…but that seemed to be the overwhelming vibe of the clientel. I guess everybody has their thing.

Again, the dude at the door was pretty nice and I’m open to it being a 100% different establishment on a different night. Its just that simple: I had high expectations and it didn’t live up to them. Again, I hope I’m not out of line and I hope if you had received the service and engaged the vibe that I experienced that you too would be as open and honest.

Well, single guys…I’m a nerd, so I’m always at the public library downtown. Meet me there. Just don’t be one of the homeless people on the first floor.

Uh, that Hermitage Kroger must have changed A LOT since I lived in that area in ‘99 and ‘00.

the kroger in hermitage eh? but what about those single girls like me out there who don’t want to settle for the mediocrity of suburbia? maybe i should start the “single in east nashville” club. sadly i think it would only consist of me and my 2 roomies.

I’d forgotten how my name abbreviated on the blog when I posted this….

I love unintentional humor…

And I’m writing down to make sure I don’t look homeless next time I’m at the downtown library. :)
