Bombay Dreams

I finally feel like I’ve gotten into the swing of things with hosting.  The event from a few nights ago was called Bombay Dreams.  It was for Indian women and the men who love them.  There were a lot of men who signed up for this event but not quite as many women, so I was able to invite a friend to come.  The women were all beautiful and seemed very nice and intelligent.  The men were a complete mix of everything.  There were Indian, Black, White and Latinos.  This was the first time that I was hosting an event that I didn’t fit into the theme.   However, since there were about 3 more men than women, I jumped in.  When I guy got to me I told them that even though I wasn’t Indian I was single and if they wanted to they could speed date me…or they could take a break.  Every guy except one decided to speed date me as well.  But here was the interesting thing about the man who didn’t want to speed date me.  He was white but from Europe, I’m not sure what country, but he had an accent.  After I told him that he could date me or take a break he looked at me and broke into a very stereotypical and almost mocking Indian pose with a bobble of the head and in an Indian accent told me “you aren’t Indian, why would I want to date you.”  I wasn’t offended that he didn’t want to date me because I am not what was advertised for the event.  But I found his imitation to be not the sincerest form of flattery.  I would be willing to bet that if any of the women had heard him, they would have been offended. 

So clearly, for the other men, my not being Indian didn’t matter as I was chosen by 4 guys.  I liked two of them.  They were both in the Marines.  But here is the conflict…these two guys came together.  They are in the Marines together and are good friends.  Do I email both of them?  There is one that I do think is better looking.  I think I will start with him and then see what happens.
