English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes
This experience is ~4 years old, so I don’t remember all the details, but parts of it are as vivid as if they happened yesterday.
Me and some friends from university were on summer vacation in Mallorca. We were visiting a beach bar and all of my friends were flirting with some girls while I just got rejected when I ran into two British women in their early 30s downing shots like there was no tomorrow.
They were a little loud, and most patrons were keeping their distance. I was nether bothered too much by being rejected, so I went over to introduce myself and ask if they were celebrating anything in particular or just trying to finish their summer right. They almost immediately invited me to do a round of shots with them.
