Holy Cow did I ever get hit on this weekend... |
|
this was also the weekend my Fiance went back to school my Fiance and not my GF...;)
Anyway, the fiance and I have been looking for new bedroom furniture for some time and found one we liked, so this weekend after she left I went to the store to talk to the sales girl about it, to see if I could get a sample of the color of the headboard fabric, and to see if we could special order a different one if we did not like the one that came standard. During the course of the conversation she asked what colors I was thinking. I mentioned white and taupe.
This is how the conversation went from there:
her: you don't want white, it would get really dirty, really easily.
me: How in the hell would the headboard get dirty?
her: well, you never know you might meet some girl, things go well, you take her back to your place, the two of you get in bed, she might have make up on and she might stay the night...
:wow: that was my face...She was looking right at me when she said this and I am convinced beyond any doubt that SHE wanted to be the girl dirtying my headboard... (that even sounds dirty, lol)
the only response I could muster was, Wow, you have imagined quite the social life for me...
Was she hitting on me? Did she want to get my headboard dirty?
Should I even go back and order the bed?

fair play to you- I have never had a serious relationship with someone who wore makeup. Not that there is anything wrong with that. My wife of 20 years has never worn it. We also have a wooden headboard so it would never be a problem. Go back and purchase a wooden headboard:)

I swear, women must know, somehow, that a man is taken - I rarely got hit on until I got engaged, and then it started coming from all over the place, even when I wasn't wearing my engagement ring.
And I keep thinking, "Dammit - where were you women when I was single? What the fuck?! You wouldn't give me the time of day, and now you're crossing the room to come over to me and not only tell me the time when I don't ask, but to also call whatever the time is "fucking time"."

38. well, it just seems like a possible outcome |

to asking the sales girl if she wants to get her face rammed into the headboard of the floor model repeatedly..., at least if she said no...
Or the public lewdness charges...
Many possibilities.

This would be a great addition to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7321379She was definitely hitting on you....in one of the tackier yet more creative ways I've heard in a long time! If I didn't say so before, congratulations on your engagement. Did you find it strange at first going from the "girlfriend" to the "fiance" reference? It took me a little while to get used to.

If your fiancee is out of town, maybe check with your girlfriend to see what she thinks. Should be easy with the fiancee out of town... then go back and talk to the saleswoman.
Some guys have all the luck.

her reasons as to why---well maybe she's using her past experience or someone else's but she is right. Also i'd go with ulra suede for a material, it cleans up really well.

81. Holy Cow did I ever NOT get hit on this weekend... |

I even went out twice to a bar and a dance club.
Nada...
Troll, I am.
Good on ya though. I hear married men get hit on all the time, so you have that to look forward to.
