I always thought I didnt belong. Everywhere I went, I felt like I should be somewhere else. That is, until I found Germantown Jonathans and the bartender, gauge. I moved to Nashville for work 6 and a half years ago, and Ive struggled finding my place in this city. I tried to honky tonks, but Im well into my 50s now, so I just always felt out of place in aldeans. I tried dating apps, and even some local Facebook groups but they were normally awkward and just didnt work out. I started going to Jonathans because I like their ranch dressing. I always sat at a high top table near the bar. One day, as I was wrapping up my chicken tenders, the bartender, Gauge, called me over to the bar. We sat and chatted for hours. I felt like I was talking to my brother again, who sadly passed away when I was a teenager from a rare gastrointestinal disease. What Im sure seemed like a nothing interaction for him, completely turned my life around. I started going back more. Gauge convinced me to try new foods I had never eaten before. New beers from breweries Id never heard of. One day, gauge calls me over to the other side of the bar and introduces me to a woman. She had just moved here recently, so I told her I know what its like moving to a new city. We sat and talked for the rest of the day until they closed. Gauge kept sending encouraging glances when she wasnt looking. I walked her back to her apartment and made sure to get her number. This was a little over a year ago. Im writing this today because tomorrow Im going to ask her to be my wife, and I hope Gauge will be one of my groomsmen. Germantown Jonathans and Gauge turned my life into nothing but pure bliss. Thank you Gauge. Youre a great person and everyone thinks so.
