Bizarre what some men find attractive.

So props to the dude who crossed the room as I was getting ready to leave, who stopped me and said, "Hey, before you pack up, I really just wanted to let you know that you really carry yourself very well. You're very beautiful and you seem really intelligent and I just really wanted to let you know that."

Ok, first of all. Thanks. Second of all, now I feel REALLY awkward. Thirdly, how the FUCK did I seem intelligent surfing the net and sucking down ale? And baby, I even ate cheese fries. So maybe not the time to choose, "You look intelligent," but whatev.

Also, it was not one sentence. It was several. There was, no shit, even something about my posture in there. He was pretty eloquent, all things considered (like, it's Fort Worth and it's a bar), and I was the choad who initially responded with a comically high-pitched, "Really?" But I let him know I thought it was very nice to hear and that I was married (met with, of course, "Oh, I didn't mean to hit on you, I just really appreciate a beautiful woman...") but I basically gave him a nice kthxbye.

Good on him, but it also makes me want to hide. I don't do compliments well, especially when I assume they may be brought on by an alcoholic binge.

As pick-up lines go, that wasn't bad.

Vel: Normally beer tends to inspire the repugnant lot of the bunch (well, in my luck, at least), but he seemed like a nice enough guy.

Triana: Yeah, it was a nice try on his part, I wasn't fighting the urge to purge OR roll my eyes!

Pretty decent try. Not as smooth as me when I roll out my "All those curves and me with no brakes" line.

Yeaaaaahhhh baby!

Ellen Aim said...

Lol, that's awesome, I don't think I've ever heard that one before!

Do you believe in love at first sight or do I need to walk by you again?

Veloute said...

Man! I never get pick up lines ;)

If I could change the alphabet, I'd put U and I together...
