wal-mart...the pick up joint.

so i was in wal-mart with my cousin. this dude in the toothpaste isle looks at me and says "don't i know you?" i say "do you?" he realizes he's seen me at work before. i say "oh" and move along. he proceeds to talk to me and while i was not intersted in him i decided to be nice because i don't want be accused of being a black woman with an attitude. we make small talk and i notice there are roses in his basket so i think that he is going to have a nice evening with his girl and he'll leave me alone... no "can i have your number?" moments. i move to another isle and he's there again. he asks me to help him look for razors with aloe for a woman. i help him and move along. i notice that it's just he and i in the isle. he says, so do you think that i can have your number. i told him no. he asked why not. i told him i am not interested in starting anything with anyone, then he says i don't want to start anything we could talk as friends. i told him that i am not intersted in that either. then we move along. my issue is: how you gonna ask me for my phone number when you have roses in your basket and you are shopping for women's razors??? i don't know. even if i found him attractive, that would be an even worse situation for me to be in. what are we going to talk about, his girlfriend...we were in wal-mart...that's not where you meet friends, that's where you pick up women. *sigh*....men...they suck.

so, i can not and will not be entertaining the advances of any men until 2007. there's no point. i need time to heal up some. if a dude is really interested, he can wait and try again next year, until then...it's just me.
