Things not to say!!!
H: I’ve never dated a black woman before but I heard they were really good at lovin’
Me: Err, what?
Another keeper…
J: Well you sort of remind me of my ex wife (yeah that’s brilliant!) You’re her size. you’re petite, athletic, etc., I remember how things were with her and I cannot help but think you would be the same.
Me: How in the world did we get on this topic?
J called me later to apologize if he was out of line. Do yah think? He left a message on my voice mail. I wasn’t available.
These conversations happened within the last few weeks. Yah know! I usually don’t get that from people I hang out with. When I was in my early twenties yeah I got those comments a lot more. I’m still trying to figure out how a normal conversation made a leap into a separate reality.

LOL, when I was in Air Force Technical School, one weekend one of my friends (another married girl) and I went into Gulfport to the Sports Bar to have a drink or two. Here comes this dude to the table, and we picked a table for 2 for a reason, and he looks at me and asks, “Was your father a thief?” I’m thinking what the heck kind of question is that? Must be working up to a joke, right? Ok, I’ll bite. “No, why?” Straight-faced, this dude says to me “Because he took all the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.” I didn’t even feel bad about laughing in his face for such a blatant and corny line because this clown was wearing a wedding ring just like my friend and I and trying to pick me up with that. LOL

DragonLady,
I’m sitting here laughing at that. Oh wow! How lame! Did he actually think that would work? Hmm, perhaps he thought if you had enough to drink it would. ;-)

You know what’s really sad? After I laughed at him, he did not go away. I was doing everything short of pointing out my wedding ring to try to give him the hint that he was barking up the wrong tree. LOL, yeah, I don’t ever have THAT much to drink. ;-)
