*sigh*


I'm never wrong when it comes to picking dudes for my friends. I always observe the signals they don't and can usually spot compatible personalities a mile off.

I have an unblemished track record.

Pity that doesn't translate into my own personal life. LOL. I can never tell when a dude's interested in me. I'd met a guy at the gym a few months ago. I was sure he was into me. Positive. That was until we were chatting casually one day, and he threw in some lovesick comment about the wife and kept going. Then it occurred to me that:

a) I'd forgotten to look for a wedding ring before I started having a crush on the dude (Actually, now that I think about it I never really look for wedding rings; I always kinda just assume that if dude is chatting me up, he wouldn't have the nerve to wear a wedding ring, but after CP's latest motel debacle, I probably shouldn't be so presumptuous. LOL), and

b) He was being friendly and I'd misread the whole thing.

Thankfully, I had not texted him at an inappropriate hour, or invited him out on a date. Thank God I'd decided that I was being traditional woman this month. Hehe.

Ah well...

i ALWAYS check for wedding rings. I don't even bother to think past "he's moderately attractive" before looking for wedding rings. the gym is hard, tho b/c even when i'm married i don't know that i'll be able to wear mine. my hands swell when i exercise. problem... lol. the hubby will have to understand! he can always come with! the bigger question tho... why is this dude givin random chicks at the gym his number if he's married?? bizarre. i'm not saying you can't have friends of the opposite sex while married but finding them at the gym while likely semi-scantily clad? bizarre.

I always check for wedding rings and caesarean section marks. I'd most likely never talk to the woman again unless cornered.
