The weekend couldn't come soon enough. It was mid September and ever since graduation, Alistair has started out in this job in sales which wasn't the worst but he absolutely hated his boss and the team that he had been assigned to. It felt like by the time Christmas shopping would come around, his company would have burnt him out by then. But all through the week, he would bite the bullet and just get on with it every day because he knew that the weekend would be a time to relax. And on this Friday, he was hoping that his best friend, Jason would be there for him.. And with that expectation in mind, he would pull out his mobile and type out his message and send it to Jason, asking what Jason was going to do tonight and if he was available for a drink. The time was 13:10 when he sent that message and he didn't really hear back from Jason even if he saw that his message had been read. He sighed out at the common practice of being left on read, which had become a habit now with Jason since Jason and his girlfriend had moved in together. Alistair placed his mobile back into his pocket assuming that Jason would probably need to ask what Alice was doing and would eventually get back to him since Jason wouldn't really ghost Alistair, well, atleast not often.. And so the shift went by and after the flurry of calls, emails and the onset of post-lunch fatigue and the, almost ceremonial two cups of coffee at 3'o clock, time would eventually slowly and excruciatingly so, reach 5:30 and that was all that Alistair wanted. He would gather his laptop and get ready to move out when he would check his phone again.. And he was almost surprised to find that he hadn't heard back from Jason. He would head out of the office exchanging some wishes with his office colleagues as he finally reached the outside. And almost instantly as he did, he rang up Jason. "Dude! What's wrong bruh? You haven't replied to my message, I'm off work now, are we getting a drink or what?" -

And that's when he would learn about Jason's breakup. Apparently, it had been days already and he was with another chick that he was rebounding with already. Alistair wished him well and just replied that he understood and they both ended the call with a low-effort promise of catching up soon for sure. But he couldn't help but wonder what had gone wrong with them. They were like brothers during high school and uni. To suddenly not even be told that Jason had a break up felt very strange to him and Alistair swore that he would at least find Jason tomorrow to make sure that his friend was okay atleast.. But it did nothing to help with the situation of the weekend and tonight.. It was still early in the evening and his apartment wasn't far away and he assumed it was probably best that he should shower and change and maybe instead of just a drink, he could try and see if he could connect with someone on Tinder or something and just grab a drink with some chick for company.. And as he walked, he would check his phone for the matches he had had already. He wasn't against dating and he smiled as he saw the chats from the past and the fun dates they had all been, some even being dates for a while but the only girl that he had been very interested in seeing had already left the city and they both agreed that a long distance wouldn't work for them.. And so, he tried matching randomly until he reached his apartment and he would undress to shower. He had tried reaching out to older matches, to see if anyone was up for a date but unable to get any response, he would try and check out some clubs that would allow stags in.. And that's when he saw the ad.. It didn't seem shady since it was the most well known club of the city and they apparently had a group speed date night which allowed stags free entry! -

Alistair had wanted to go there and he ensure that he dressed up in a black shirt over his denims to make sure that he was in line with the strict smart casuals dress code of the place and he would make his way to the bouncer and get registered for the event. Allistair was 24 now, 6 feet 2, had blue eyes and he was built athletic since he had played college basketball but didn't pursue a professional career out of it. He would read the terms of the speed date night, which were written out in a flyer, - This is an open and inclusive event. Please wear the correcting hand tag. Red if you are looking for a female date partner and Green if you're looking for a male date partner. - Please only approach people with a wrist band for a speed date. The ones without a band are either taken or just having a night out and not taking part in this event. - Remember to ask anyone with the right tag if they would be okay with a speed date. So, if you're a guy and you see a girl wearing a red tag, please don't try and push your luck, if you do, a bouncer will remove you quickly. Be respectful and please ask permission. - There are masks available and it is your personal preference if you want to wear one or not. - If you like the person you just met and don't want to speed date others, all you have to do is remove the wristband and no one else will approach you. Have fun. If you need any help, please ask any of our staff. It seemed reasonable enough. The lighting was already dark, and he would gather a red glow band to wear and decide to use a mask for the event. He grabbed a white mask and went into the large floor of the club and decided to grab a drink first. There were tons of people here and it was a two-story dance club, he would get a whisky before looking around for green glow bands to see if there was someone he would like to approach.. And someone female preferably since he was not sexually straight..
