I was at the airport yesterday, waiting to catch a flight back home. I was in my corner as usual, reading a book. This brunette was sitting right in front of me when she starts chatting and asking questions about the book I was reading. Then she asked me where I was flying to, she knew my city and starts talking about it. She asked I did for a living and some other personal questions. I answered them all awkwardly and tried to show signs that I wanted to go back to my book.

When my flight's boarding opened, she asked me for my number before I left. I told her I didn't my personal contact to strangers. She looked puzzled and just said "so you are married or have girlfriend."

I just shrugged and went away. I mean, why do people assume you're committed just because you don't give them your phone number? I wouldn't give it like that to anyone, woman or man, young and old.

I thought I would like it the first time a woman noticed me (no woman had ever initiated conversation with me) but it was the most uncomfortable position I've ever been on.

Now that the first time is over you might be a wee bit more comfortable the next time.

Oh yes but now I know and would never think it was so bad. I had never felt so uncomfortable and inadequate in my life. Nothing like other people tell.

If the next time is another 33 years away, I'm okay.

She could be from a criminal organisation. It's suspicious when women start conversation out of nowhere.

Yeah, I admit I do get uncomfortable when a woman hits on me. For some reason, even more so when she is really attractive.

WTF?!

It is because I still have a lot of disconnects to work through, though.
