Dating Advice: Fool Proof Pick Up Line

I'm testing the waters on giving dating advice in case any of these magazines ever pick me up for some "freelance" work. See what I'm doing there? It sounds so New Yorky to say "freelance." Plus I'm sitting in my 200 sq ft apartment typing away on a Macbook air. This either screams hipster or Carrie Bradshaw. Either way I'm full of some gaddamn entertainment people!

Alright anyway. This week has been a real strugglefest. Lots of work and little sleep. Someone shed a tear for me. K. So. Monday was in line with the rest of the week... aka pretty not fun but I was rounding out the day when my coworker asked me if I wanted to go to the Islanders game with her and her boyfriend. HECK YES I DO. She heads back to my desk with ticket in hand. Then it happens. I look at the ticket and see... FRONT ROW EVENT SEATING. We hit the jackpot folks.

We hustle out of work to get ourselves over to Brooklyn... ugh. After some super great food and dranks, we sit down IN THE FRONT ROW for the start of the game. Next thing we know three bros roll in and sit right next to me. Of course I instantly look at their hands and see 2 of the 3 are married. Whatever. I'm here for the game anyway.... and the wine in a sippy cup. Duh.



Not even within minutes... within SECONDS, the married bro next to me introduces himself (cuz I'm awesome obvi). We're making small talk and he asks where our office is located in the city. Naturally the first thing I blurt out would be my apartment cross streets. This wouldn't be bad but then I immediately started blushing and laughing which then tipped off the bro that something happened. Flustered, I respond, "Oh my gosh. I just gave you my apartment cross streets." INCORRECT RESPONSE ASHLEY.

Let's make this real simple. Despite what I actually said, all the bro heard was "I want you to come to my apartment after the game." Luckily the bros got more and more drunk and the next thing you know the bro is telling me that he'll meet me on 29th and 6th which is most definitely not where I live. Let's just say I scurried out the door and went straight to bed in my apartment ... far from 29th and 6th.

Fool proof pick up line: bluntly giving your apartment address upon first meeting a bro
Dating advice: run from said bro that get overly excited about this
