Tag...You're it!

I'm all for a game of tag. I've even been willing to watch tag team wrestling, but I draw the line at Tag Team dating.

A few weeks ago I met these two great guys (think Top Gun: Goose and Maverick) at a party. We all had hit it off and were having a great conversation. There was a moment Maverick left and Goose asked me out. The laughter continued, as Maverick came back. The night went on. Goose and I finalized the details for the date.

Well, Friday night had arrived. So, there I was waiting for Goose in the waiting area of the restaurant, when all of a sudden Maverick is standing right in front of me. I greeted him with a hug and asked if he had a date there as well. "Yes and no." (Mental Note: that these two are joined at the hip and this date may up as a double date.) "Let's get our table and get this dinner started." My thought process decided to continue, 'Oh, this is going to be a double date and our dates are late. Great. The least that Goose could have done is let me know.'

As we sit down, Maverick orders an appetizer...and begins to tell me of the impending festivities for the evening. Suddenly out of left field, "Goose couldn't make it. Well... actually that's not true, I wanted to ask you out first but couldn't and since Goose is my wing-man I gave him the tag-team date signal that night so that he could asked you out for me. " And without thinking, I blurted out, "You have a tag team signal to ask a girl out for a date?"

We went on with dinner but, for the rest of the night I wanted to recall his 'man-card'.
