The Barstool Connection

When the experts talk I listen… Matt Hussey of GTG said get out and meet people! Another tip was to always try and sit at a bar in restaurants as, contrary to popular belief, shoulder to shoulder positioning is better for energy flow out onto the universe. As well when you go out two women it allows for you to interact with others and MEET NEW PEOPLE.

Last night proved the theory right as I ventured out to dinner at Restaurant Helena in the old port and took my seat at the bar with gal pal and media personality Chantal Desjardins, also single.

The seafood dinner was sublime, the wine crisp and full bodied and the conversation amusing as we both shared dating philosophies. For those of you who are not aware Chantal is also spreading her wings into standup comedy and does a routine on singledom, hysterical!! Fast-forward to the get “connected” part of the dinner…. By the end of the night several single men I knew came over to say hello and were introduced to my friend. We talked and laughed with all the other dinner guests on either side of us. We had champagne sent to us and even our tab picked up by visiting businessmen. So gallant and unexpected! All this just from being open and friendly. No dates but what a great night!

The final act of chivalry came as my classic 61 caddy stalled and I needed a boost. Our knights in shining armor came out from the restaurant to our rescue. These 2 men kept us safe, dry (of course it started to rain) and warm in the car while they hailed a cab to charge the battery. How courteous!

Thus another lesson from Matt….it’s ok to let men rescue you. It makes them feel good and we don’t have to always prove we can do it on our own. Even if we can! (I do have my own cables and charger… shhhh!)

Do you have a wingman you can go out with?
