How we met - SUNNY'S VERSION

As some would say, “You had me at Hello.” That is certainly not the case with Barney and me. It was a chilly April night in 2006 and my friend Greg was having girl issues. He wanted to drink his sorrows away and asked me to come along. Not really in a partying mood, I threw on a pair of jeans, pink polka dot shirt and a jean jacket (that I’ve been ridiculed for to this day) and headed to the Rouge in SF.

The first thing I saw when I stepped into the club was a Korean looking dude with glasses sitting on top of his forehead, dancing in a huge circle with 10 scantily clothed chicks (I know, this is a guy’s dream come true). I thought to myself:” who the hell does HE think he is…man he looks damn perverted with those glasses.” It turns out that Greg’s friends, who we were meeting up with, knew the perverted looking Korean dude (Barney). Greg’s friends were eager to have Barney introduce them to the hot chicks that he was dancing with. They said:”dude, hook us up with those chicks..” Barney replied:”who are you going to hook ME up with?” Greg volunteered me with excitement..”Meet Sunny!”

Not very appreciative of the fact that I was being pawned away, I stood by myself by the bar, away from the boys as they gawked at the circle of girls. Barney then approached me, and the conversation went something like this:

Barney: “Girl, why are you standing so far away from me? Do I look like an ass to you or something?”

Sunny: “Actually, you do.”

Barney: “Well, you look kind of bitchy yourself”

Sunny: ”Really? That’s what all my girlfriends tell me..interesting..”

That, my friends, was the beginning of our romance….Barney was so swept away by my sarcasm and awesome sense of humor that he could not draw himself away from me for the rest of that night (despite the many attempts by the hot girls)…. We talked, drank, danced and he asked for my number AND text me the same night (isn’t there suppose to be a 3 day rule guys?).

Who says you can’t find that special someone from clubbing..we did!
how we met - BARNEY'S VERSION

I had broken up with my x months prior to the night I met Sunny. In the time between, I didn’t want to date anyone. I just wanted to chill and relax. One night my friend Emily wanted to go meet up with some of her friends from LA so I decided to tag along.

Emily’s friends showed up shortly after we got there and yes… they were pretty much all hot. As you can imagine this was a very strange site in SF. You usually don’t see a whole group of hot girls. Usually there’s like 1 hot one and the rest are all hurt looking. Anyhoooo we danced a bit with them when I noticed a friend of mine over at the bar so I went over to say hello. However, the whole time I was trying to say hello he was transfixed on the group of girls that I was just with. He asked me to make the intros. I responded with “Who are you going to hook me up with?” He pointed to his little short friend that was standing next to him and said “Meet Sunny!”

I looked at Sunny, smiled and said hello. She responded by giving me a dirty look. I was thinking… “WTF Who does this little girl think she is”. Things popped into my head like “hmmm is she a really tall midget or just a really short normal girl… hmmmm”. Also, she was wearing this jean jacket straight from the 80s (I HATE jeans jackets). I was thinking “WTF did she just get out of a Debbie Gibson concert or some shit?” The following conversation took place shortly after:

Barney: “Girl, why are you standing so far away from me? Do I look like an ass to you or something?”

Sunny: “ Actually, you do.”

Barney: “ Well, you look kind of bitchy yourself”

Sunny: ”Really? That’s what all my girlfriends tell me..interesting..”

Sunny: “You are soooo hot. Will you please take me home tonight? I want to make love to you.”

Ok… maybe not the last part.

It was really strange. I tend to be loud and a bit intimidating (or obnoxious) when people first meet me. However this little girl didn’t back down from me. She rolled with all the punches and was actually pretty witty. Her shit talking skills rivaled my own. We talked, drank and danced the night away. I ended up asking for her number (I know if I didn’t ask, she would have asked me for mine). She obviously gave it to me and I drunk-texted her that very night. Don’t hate, the 3 day rule is for noobs. My WTF attitude turned into a HEHE attitude in the months to follow. I found the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with at club Rouge. Go figure….
