As many of you know I'm going out more and more as me. I've been shopping going to Gay friendly pubs and clubs (I'm not Gay BTW, I like guys). Not had much trouble at all. So for weeks my sister in law and I have been wanting to go to a restaurant together. Problem after problem, we are both busy people.
Well tonight we made it. Jen was in jeans a top and a jacket. I had me boots 2" heels, beautiful green sweater, brown skirt. The first thing Jen said when she came into the house was ' You look nice'.
We went to the restaurant on spec were shown a table for two. The waiter gave us a menu and said would you ladies like a pre dinner drink? We had water so we could drink some wine.
Selected our food and chattered, none stop :laugh: The place filled up to about 60-70 covers. Food was delivered, wine poured. Thank you ladies at each time.
The place was now full. NO ONE BUT NO ONE stared at me, OK I got glances, but I expect that from guys. I went to the ladies, no insults or trauma, combed my hair and freshened my lipstick as the girl in the other mirror did. We smiled at each other as we left.
When we went to pay the bill, we were immediately asked " Was every thing to your satisfaction ladies?" 'Please come back again."
Another milestone. Another affirmation.
Next week, the restaurant next door. Glenelg has lots of restaurants :laugh:
A very happy Cindy
Love to all

wonder if they have Europa's in Sydney? Sounds like a great time hon! There's a little Moroccan restaurant on the corso in Manley right by the beach that has excellent food and some really HOT waiters to bring it to you. I think that counts at least as much as the food lol

Hi Cindy,
Sounds like a great night out, I'll have to put that one on my list of places to try.
