So bloggers and everyone else, do you talk to the man on the street? No, not the news anchor or late night host. You know, if someone you've never met or seen before hits on you while you are walking down the street, how do you respond? Does it matter what the flavor looks like?
A flavor (attractive) on a bike stopped me tonight to say he just wanted to talk to me because I was so beautiful that I caught his attention. After I realized he didn't stop me to ask directions, I proceeded to walk in the direction I needed to go. He decided to follow. (Don't worry, by this time I decided I could take him if I needed to. That or kick him off his bike and run.) Anyway, he asked my name. I would not tell him. He asked why and I asked, "Didn't his momma teach him not to talk to strangers?" That stalled him for half a second. Then he kept trying. Finally, I think he got the point that I wasn't going to budge on this "How do I get to know you game?"
Here's my opinion. This scenario is different than the bus or el stranger that you see going to and from work everyday. (job - check) He's always dressed nice and professional. (good job - check) And maybe he's noticed what books you read or what music you listen to on your iPhone, iPad, or iWannaBeVariation. That at least lends to the possibility that he likes your intellect or has common tastes. Who knows. But he knows more than what you look like on one random day. Just sayin'. So, flavor on the street, sorry, you are out of luck with this girl. I hope I don't sound like "Serena".
What do you think? How do you handle those situations?
A similar scenario happened to me yesterday. I went to pick up my nephews and a man hanging around the complex said he " wanted to get to know me". He asked for my number, I said no. He tried to give me his, I said no. I told him, if you want to get to know me I pick up kids from this neighborhood several days a week. If you see me around, say hi and we'll see what happens from there. He wasn't satisfied with that. I didn't care.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I think that was a good response.
ReplyDeleteHe lead with the line "you are so beautiful you just caught my attention?" He has no game. He should have fake-asked for directions and pretended he was a little lost, and flash a smile, and try to strike up a convo while he already had you. Although, there may be an upside to being with a man who has NO game. lol.
