I would like to say that this happened to me; not because I need a boyfriend as I’m content, but because I would like to be so incredibly gorgeous that men make complete asses of themselves.
My co-worker (and good friend) K were going on our regular walk to get some extra exercise for the day and occasionally K will get honked at, whistled at or gawked at because of how very pretty she is. She realizes men find her attractive and she has told me some of the stories about how some men are crazy when trying to get her attention. It embarrasses her mostly and she doesn’t talk about it much.
So we are on our walk, right? I noticed a man sitting in the lobby in the same chair I had seen him in the day before. Generally, we take our walk at the same time every afternoon without fail. We have seen this guy around as he is a student on one of the lower floors in our building.
We were walking inside today due to the rain and we are in the skyway system adjoining our building to another and we hear someone walking close behind us.
“Excuse me! Excuse me, ladies. Can I just take a moment of your time? This will only take a minute.” The man blurts out as he is handing a card to K.
K asked, “Are you lost?” as we are constantly being stopped and asked for directions by people that are trying to get to a building within the industrial park system. The road our building is on has the wrong street sign on it basically and it causes serious confusion for visitors.
“No, I’m not lost but can you just read this and let me know if this is ok?” He is still trying to hand the card to K and she reaches to grab it from him. All the while he is stammering over his words. It was at this point that I realized he was asking her for his number with the card. He was shaking. He was a literal mess, clearly a noodle and unable to stand normally in front of her.
I felt sorry for him as he continued to look to her for his answer. Again and again asking, “What do you think? Just read…. Just a minute of your time….just read….take a moment….”
K read the card, visibly confused and embarrassed handed the card back saying, “I’m gonna have to give this back to you. Sorry.” We continued on our walk. We could hear him down the hall, “So sorry to have bothered you miss…”
K is 25 and the man could have been her father he was so much older than she was. She was embarrassed and explained that the card had included his name, number and explained how he was looking for a relationship. He had printed it up to hand to her and I can only assume other woman.
About 90 pounds and 10 years ago this happened to me and although uncomfortable at times it was flattering. At some point in my life I would like it to happen again.
Just once.
