She wore my hat again. Confound it, woman, you're raising my hopes.
I feel like it's time for an update on this. Did she continue to take the hat? Did she take other articles of clothing? Does she now dress like a man? Did she steal your identity? Did you give her the clamps?
Ha, no, nothing came out of this. She's 20 years younger than me, so she should hang out with guys her age. If she threw herself on me, I certainly would have obliged her, but she didn't, and I don't want to be one of those guys that misread a woman's attention as anything more. Many women I know get upset at how they act friendly toward a guy only to have it backfire because now the guy thinks she likes him. And I can't blame them.
If this girl meant for anything to happen between us, then it's my loss for not interpreting her signals correctly, but I'd rather risk that than lose her as a friend because I make things weird. My dating scene tends to be more direct, exactly because I want to avoid awkward situations. Still, it was nice to have that attention.
Sorry for the boring outcome. I tend not to be high drama.
Although there is the story of my cousin-in-law who allowed her girlfriend to live in her house until she learned that her ex fell madly in love with a male inmate at the prison where she works and looks forward to when he's released so she can move in with him and his two kids because the courts will totally rule against the mom in favor of a two-time incarcerated burglar who claims that burglary is a victimless crime. Makes me actually pretty happy about my boring outcome.
