Every Gal Needs a GB

Every gal should have a gay boyfriend. There are so many positive aspects to having a GB. He'll shop with you, he'll talk products with you and he'll be sure to tell you when you look fat in that outfit. Gay men have a true appreciation of style and beauty. So when you're given a compliment by your GB, pat yourself on the shoulder because you'll know you really look good.

My GB, bless his heart, and I went out this past Friday evening for a few drinkies. Although we normally patronize straight establishments together; the thought occurred to us Friday - why? I mean, I have a Mr. Ji but GB has no GB! Thus, after one drink at a place where the bar crowd was particularly not attractive, we decided to switch up our routine and hang out with GB's team.

Our first stop was a place called XES (how creative.) Although GB does not classify it as such, the place is a bit divey for my taste. But the patrons were fun and we had a grand time. GB was hit on a few times but by no one of any interest. After a couple of margaritas, we headed down a few blocks to Elmo.

Elmo is a mostly gay restaurant (natch in Chelsea) that I really like. It was a beautiful night Friday, so we sat outside. Normally I'm not a proponent of eating on the sidewalk but GB wanted to...anywho. We sat next to an attractive man sitting by himself. He had sort of, now use your imagination here friends, an Anderson Cooper look going...but it worked! I thought for sure that GB was annoying the ef out of the attractive Anderson Cooper man because GB was talking on his cell, rather loudly. Turns out, attractive Anderson Cooper man was very sweet and GB and I both took a liking to him. Me for GB and GB for himself, of course. After attractive man got up and said good-bye, I told GB that I wanted him to marry attractive man. GB responded, "me too." At which time, GB leapt up from the table and chased attractive man down to the corner.

After being gone for a good 5-7 minutes, GB returned looking deflated. I asked him what happened. GB told me that attractive man offered GB his number but also said that he had a boyfriend in L.A. To which GB replied, "Sorry attractive man, but homey don't play that way."
