georgmicrodong started the topic "Chance meeting outside the club, redux". How about inside? I have run into business acquaintances, friends, friends of friends, dancers from my past and current, and many more. It is more like outside the club life than I would expect.
My best one, I think, was in a club no longer in existence. When I entered I sat at my normal bar seat at the main bar. I was watching the main stage and at times the satellite stage. I was intent on watching the dancer on the satellite when the bartender gave me another beer and said it was on her, pointing to the dancer on the main stage. I wasn't sure who it was, but someone I'd not seen before. After her set and during her tip walk, I realized it was the wife of a co-worker. Damn she looked different! Anyway, we talked a bit, but the meeting remained in the club.
I said before that my ATF and I still see each other outside a club at times (she no longer dances), but in a social environment. As we discovered in our early conversations, we had common OTC friends. Our club life remains only ours.
My chance meeting occurred at a nudist resort. I persuaded a woman to go with me by promising the odds of bumping into someone we knew was next to zero. Well, we no sooner walked through the gate and I heard a my name called. I about crapped when I saw it was a dude from my office. But then I took the advice that I'd given my date earlier that on the off chance we did see someone, well hey, we're both there right? And it's not like we're going to point and laugh when we see each other at some outside venue. Sure enough, the following day at the office, the due and I were cool the, way it should be - like it never happened.
