My New Best Friend...

Today's post is all my new best friend. Read on to find more...

So, obviously June's trip was not canceled and with me sulking all the way to the airport bid her goodbye. I went straight to work after that and in the evening, decided to go to Hush Hush all by myself. Since I was in the mood for some latino/cuban music, this was the right place to be .

So here I was, sipping my margherita when my blackberry started playing its song. BLUEPONT!! I realized that I had almost forgotten about it ...I immediately pulled out my phone to know who what it is trying to do for the demented soul.

I decided to play on...and sent the message to him via Bluepont (I am so happy that I am a girl - its all free for me!!! ) – I sent him a message and asked him what he is doing – when I heard that he is handling a brand and so sounded safe enough - I decided to meet him

And to my surprise - while I am fixing myself another drink,. he walks up to me and well. what do you know.he turns out to be ITALIAN! To maintain anonymity of my superb date, I will call him my "hot-italian-date" (I know..I knoww..it;s a bit over-the-top.. but bear with me!)

I had the best evening ever! HE was funny in a non-goofy way and had the most amazing smile. HE even turned out to be a great dancer. I had one of my most memorable nights.

My "hot-italian-date" and I have exchanged numbers and he has promised to call me tonight. I have a good feeling about this one.

oh! and that best friend of mine.. it’s Bluepont! It probably would have ended up being just another friday nights with me sitting in the corner and enjoying a drink all by myself. Thanks a ton, technology – but for you I would be sulking away to glory with loneliness!

Bluepont for dating...

This post is dedicated to all the fun that me and June (my friend) are having these days because of BluePont

June started using it first and met some pretty interesting person and she is the sole culprit of dragging me into this fun!!! ...hahahaha - so I decided to give it a shot ...just like I have done so many weird things like betting to not sleep for 48 hours ...(and that was also because of my best friend June :) )

While searching about Bluepont I came across a user's experience on a forum -

So I go into this bar and was having drinks...I was eyeing a guy at the corner...he was stealing looks at me...and I liked him...I was secretly hoping I will get to meet him...hahahaha...and then bluepont played a music and I was told that there is a guy nearby whom you might like to meet...I prayed it to be him and replied yes, i would like to meet him...(read further)

This is so similar to my story -

I was waiting at the bus stop when my blackberry played music...I checked and found that Bluepont has found a match for me...while I was contemplating what to do since my bus still had 30 minutes to come...I decided to meet this match of mine - courtesy Bluepont

Well, I was not very disappointed...

He (I dont want to name him!) seemed quite genteel and nice guy...he was quite hesitant in the start but then I broke the ice by playing some stupid joke on myself. We both started laughing and then he was in his true colors!

Later I asked him if he realised that had we not used Bluepont, we would not have met becuase he would have been so hesitated in approaching me...and both of us again started laughing!

And well, yes June, we indeed have decided to meet again...

For those who dont know about Bluepont - BluePont is a cool mobile application for mobile phones that alerts users when the right person is close.

It's based on GPS or cell towers, and it alerts people when they are within 200 - 1,000 yards of each other depending on location precision. The service then enables the two people to exchange private messages (number is not sent) so they can possibly meet right away.There are 20+ "mobile meeting" happening now every day so the critical mass is within reach.
