Dear Handsome Stranger....

I realize this is not the "Missed Encounters" section of the newspaper nor is it the Miss Lonely Hearts Club but I would feel remiss if I didn't at least attempt to reach out to you in this manner. Last week I was dining at Gordon Ramsay Steak, I am a total slut for Short Ribs and GR braises the best ones in town (see below), and don't get me started on his Sticky Toffee Pudding (probably the best dessert on the planet) but I digress...  

I was the blonde sitting at the bar alone in the teal dress browsing TER on my tablet  (rather clandestinely I believed). You came up behind me, struck up a conversation and we had an exceedingly great chat, I even bought you a drink... Then you dropped the bomb that you noticed I had been browsing TER, that you yourself were a member and asked me if I was a "listed provider" there....  

Well I was caught so off guard by the question I lied.. claiming you must have been mistaken and I wasn't sure what you meant by "provider". You see I go to such great lengths to conceal my identity that when in a public setting like that I had assumed (incorrectly) that you were (most likely) just a single guy hitting on a single girl. So when the topic of my naughty little hobby was broached I just wasn't prepared reveal that side of myself to a stranger, especially since I had already given you my real name.

You apologized and rushed off, I'm sure assuming you had offended me beyond reproach, and I am simply here to say you didn't. I just misread the situation and I recognize it probably took a lot of F'ing guts to even ask me that; now looking back I feel so badly that I might have made you feel stupid or embarrassed.

So if that was you, again I am sorry and if you were just trying to figure out which Vegas provider I was, now you know. Conversely if you'd like to buy me that dinner you mentioned (strictly in a social context of course) you now have a medium to contact me and do so.

Sorry to say it wasn't me, but I was in Vegas that week. Sorry we didn't meet....

I am glad you enjoyed it!  

Except for some very sweet messages from some well wishers!  

I'm not sure how prevalent the TER boards are overall, obviously the locals browse them, as well as the more addicted, I mean serious hobbyists who travel to LV often but more often than not I encounter strange looks and questions when I mention the boards during one of my dates!

Fingers crossed!  

I am take charge in other ways but again this is so private for most people I just couldn't intrude and risk offending anyone.  

Even if I'm out in public and I recognize a provider I've never met from her website/photos I still wouldn't have the courage to go up and say hello,  besides I never know if they are out on a date, or shopping with their husband or kids or ?? . I just can't do it!

But kicking myself that it wasn't me. Hope you hear back if not, I'll buy you dinner

Dammit, Triple-C, it's bad enough that it wasn't me...but did you really have to stomp on my heart by putting up that picture??? Seriously...😃😃😃

My picture of the Sticky Toffee Pudding was from above and wasn't any where near as appealing/appetizing as the reality but check out this pic, from Desert Companion Magazine naming it Dessert of the Year, I'm drooling just looking at it

My tongue just, uh...you know. Beeotch. 😏

I just returned from a Vegas vacation last week and now am quite sad I missed out on both CCC and the shortribs.

And would love to have dinner with you sometime!
