despite being a little hausfrauish, is erudite and well spoken, capable of intelligent discourse on any number of subjects. A pleasure to speak with. <\/p>\n
Contrast that to the hostess at the steakhouse, dressed to the nines in a short black dress with legs which seemed to go on forever. I had been there two nights previous with a co-worker; tonight she asked where he was.<\/p>\n
“My colleague has gone off to visit his family for the evening”
\n“Your what?”
\n“My colleague”
\n“Ah.”<\/p>\n
Several minutes later, after seating me, she furtively glances around and sits at the chair next to me at the table. “Excuse me” she whispers “Does colleague mean boyfriend?”<\/p>\n
“No. Not even a little bit”
\n“Oh. When I saw you in here the other night it looked like you were a couple”
\n“Not even remotely. He his my colleague. He works with me, and I with him. We never see one another naked, or even kiss”
\n“Oh”<\/p>\n
she leaves and the waitress comes to take my order.<\/p>\n
Later, she returns. “Is he married?”<\/p>\n
Crikey, now I’m a dating service for women who not only think I’m gay but want me to hook them up with my co-workers.<\/p>\n
“he has a girlfriend. They live together. I’m pretty sure it’s a committed relationship. He will no doubt be back in town and you can ask him yourself”<\/p>\n
she smiles. “You’re sweet. This is my phone number (She hands me a card) Give it to him when you see him”<\/p>\n
I think i will, too. Just to be a dick.<\/p>\n
Pity she didn’t have the brains of the girl at the front desk, to go along with the looks. Sheesh. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
