These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Ha! I just noticed the “How To” Guide to Cleveland Magazine came out this week. Awesome. And they call me “perversely addicting.” Fucking love it.

Damn, why can’t I ever be single when they interview me! I’m single now! So, bring on the gracious acceptance of drinks, baby. My apologies though, for you will no longer find me barhopping in the Warehouse District. *shudder*

Graciously Accept (or Decline) a Drink
Melinda Urick loves the night life, and she’s been writing about her after-hours episodes and relationship drama since 2003 on the perversely addicting blog Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Your Boyfriend. She’s a familiar face in the Warehouse District barhopping crowd. Every other time she goes out, a guy will send her a drink. But she turns down more of these gestures now that she’s dating someone. Here’s Urick’s take on how to accept or reject a drink — with grace. (Her apologies for that: “I wish I could have come up with something snarkier.”)

Option 1 If you’re interested … “Make eye contact, smile — lift your glass as a ‘cheers!’ then wait for him to approach.”

Option 2 If you’re flattered, but … “Acknowledge him, and walk away with the drink or lose yourself in the crowd with friends. If you’re sitting alone at the bar, strike up a conversation and tell him, ‘Thank you, I’m dating someone.’ ”

Option 3 If you’re frightened … Don’t encourage him. “I’ve turned down offers.”
