Ok, I've been running the show here at my house for almost 8 years since doofus left.

In that time, I've dated (more than once) a total of two men. One for 3-4 months and the diplomat for quite some time.

So, the second-shift security guard at my office has been pursuing me around the building when he sees me. Interjects himself into my conversations with other people if he sees me out. And he's 20+ years younger than me.

But, yesterday, I sort of got hit on again. At the gas station - by the cashier. The conversation went like this:

Him: Where do you work?

Me: For the state. (notice I didn't give him a real answer)

Him: Do you make pretty good money?

Me: That's a relative thing. Some people thing $8/hour is pretty good money and some thing that $100,000/year is peanuts. (I drive a really old car and I was in a dress I bought at a consignment store 3 years ago. I thought this was really nosey and really funny.)

Him: Are you married?

Me: No. Been there. Done that?

Him: Do you have a boyfriend?

Me: Yes. (Big grin) And a man where I work who practically drools when he sees me.

Him: Do you want my phone number?

Me: No, thanks. (By this time I was almost to the door.)

Him: Where do you work? *UH OH HERE WE GO AGAIN*

Me: For the state. *AND? WHAT IS THE REASON FOR ASKING ME THIS? IS THIS A FINANCIAL QUESTIONAIRE?*
Him: Do you make pretty good money? *NO I DON'T REALLY NEED A LOAN AND MY INVESTMENTS ARE DOING FAIRLY WELL, CONSIDERING THE SORRY STATE OF OUR ECONOMY AND THE WAR*

Me: That's a relative thing. Some people thing $8/hour is pretty good money and some thing that $100,000/year is peanuts. *I LIKE TO STAY IN THE LOWER-MIDDLE CLASS INCOME TAX BRACKET THESE DAYS*

Him: Are you married? *WELL, THIS IS REALLY GETTING PERSONAL HERE. WHO IS THIS CAT, REALLY?*

Me: No. Been there. Done that? *YEP, HERE IT COMES... I'M HOLDING MY BREATH HERE FOLKS*

Him: Do you have a boyfriend? *ARRRGH! I KNEW IT! THE BIG 'HIT ON ME' LINE. WHAT BOOKS DOES HE READ TO GET THESE ONE-LINERS?*

Me: Yes. (Big grin) And a man where I work who practically drools when he sees me. *THERE! THAT OUGHT TO SEND HIM PACKING*

Him: Do you want my phone number? *HMMMPH! CAN'T TAKE A BROAD HINT.. HOW ABOUT A REAL SEND-OFF WITHOUT THE FLOWERS, CONFETTI AND BON-VOYAGE*

Me: No, thanks. (By this time I was almost to the door.) *EXIT: STAGE LEFT* </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Hi Princess! This was pretty neat. I hope you don't mind me putting my 'thoughts' in bold. Just shows you one thing for sure though: you definitely are a 'catch' and not the person your EXH made you out to be. It's THEIR gain and his loss! That is the way I see things after my Divorce 5 years ago...

Hey, what were you doing, reading my mind?

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
Just had to throw my 2 cents in here.
I needed that laugh... Ty for sharing.
And yes it goes to show that there are men out there.. (just not the ones we want right now)

Hi Princess! No offence intended, I wanted to show a little humour in that particular situation. It really is a shame how many guys shamelessly hit on ladies. Sometimes, it's the other way around too, and that's also a shame. I personally think the cashier was overstepping his boundaries.
