Today is a bit slow so my post will be short.. and not all that interesting.
Well, let's just say "not interesting at all" which is probably closer to the truth.
A few hours ago, I went over to get some Chinese food.
From across the parking lot, I heard a familiar voice and looked over to see Mel, an old friend.
I was happy to see him. Really. He's an interesting guy. Construction worker. Lean. Strong. Looks a lot like Seal, especially since he shaved his head.
We shot the breeze for a few minutes and he said, "Are you ever going to take me up on the massage I offered you?"
"I'm not there anymore, Mel. Just pretend I'm not even a woman."
This has been serious with me lately. I don't even want men looking at me and thinking... hmm... possible?
I want to be free of that. I want friends. Period.
"Well, it's kinda hard to do that, Chay-nee."
"Chah-nee."
"Oh. So what's up with you?"
"I didn't mean to offend you. I just don't want that dynamic in my life right now."
"You didn't offend me. I know all about you. It's okay. Not a problem."
"Know about me?"
"Yeah. I know you bat for the other team."
"What?" (shocked)
"Yeah, man. I thought you were gay."
"Well, okay. If you think that, I'll take the massage."
"Good girl. Let's go eat. "
"Okay."
Why didn't I think of that excuse before? :)
Peace,

That's very funny. Don't you love it when people tell you who you are?
ReplyDeleteNot that there's anything wrong with that.. ;) especially if it gets you a massage from a man that looks like Seal, who is totally hot! ;)

Hilarious....
ReplyDeleteoften I wish I batted for the other team. But I would take a massage form anyone, especially a lean looking construction worker who looks like Seal.
Holy fantasies Batgirl.
funny how a man will see a woman who isn't interested in him as gay? but maybe i am being cynical and not giving him enough credit. maybe he just heard wrong info.
ReplyDeletei say take the massage.
;-p
I second Christine's comment. All the way.
ReplyDeleteWhatever works, eh?
ReplyDeleteOh, Chani! That's so funny.
ReplyDeleteGo for the massage, I say!
I'm with Snoskred and crazymumma.
ReplyDeleteI am a total massage slut. You offer, I accept.
ESPECIALLY from a Seal-like hottie. Umm I meant, no, no I am married. I would oh so politely decline. And in no way would I say the word "lovely pecs" or "hotness" in my polite refusal.
I'm also with Christine. It's too funny when a guy assumes rejecting him means you bat for the other team (hey, are we women a team? as in baseball? does that mean no more crying?).
Perfect! Although i would do almost anything for a massage.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you think this isn't interesting.
Go with it! A string-free massage sounds glorious.
ReplyDeleteOMG - I am dying Chani - I am a massage slut too, and with the description of the massage therapist, WOW!
ReplyDeletei'd take it in a hot minute...(how did i miss this post????)
