4 From Bollywood

to BlueLithium

Toward the end of 2001, I was having dinner with my friend Troy at Dave & Buster’s, a popular restaurant/arcade, when I noticed a pretty blonde at the bar. I kept looking over at her, and Troy kept urging me to get up and say hello. She had a friend with her, but her friend was busy talking to a guy, and the blonde seemed a little lonely. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to approach her.

“What’s the worst that could happen?” Troy said.

“She tells me to get lost.”

“So what? There isn’t a guy in the world who hasn’t been told to get lost a dozen times in his life.”

“I can’t do it.”

“G, you’ve told me yourself that ‘Every success has its failures.’ You’re not going to get anywhere without trying.”

He had a point. I took a sip of vodka, took a deep breath, and marched over, and in the course of the next few minutes I managed to stumble my way through every platitude in the book. “Hey, how you doing? What’s your name? You alone? You come here often?” Somehow, probably because she was a little hammered, we managed to have a three-minute conversation, at the end of which she actually gave me her phone number. I returned to the table, walking on air. I couldn’t believe it had worked.
