If so, how often? Does he go out without you? How often?

Just curious! Haven't visited in a few days. Miss y'all!

Trav does NOT like it when men look me over. He does something sweetly possessive, puts his hand on my back, or steps into the guys line of vision. It's so cute.

Wow am I square! LOL MG doesn't dance--I mean the times we've danced together since I first met him can be counted on one hand and that includes the slow dances that he describes as grabbing my butt and shuffling his feet. I don't go out without him but even if we're out together, I do end up dancing (this used to be really common when he was still playing regularly and I'd always dance in front of him right near the stage). But I almost always dance by myself, mostly because it makes it easier; I don't have to explain to someone that no I'm not available and no I'm not interested. Sometimes people can be really pushy even after you've told them to get lost just because you were nice enough to dance with them and I learned that from trying to be polite and dance if asked because heck, it was only a dance. Believe it or not, he would be there and was very affectionate with me, only me, on the breaks and people would still hit on me or on him while we were both there! And it wasn't as if it wasn't obvious if you were paying attention at all--hmm, song dedications to his lovely wife? and times when I wasn't at a gig, strangers would ask where I was because they knew we were together. But I digress. My dh however, is a jealous man and is very protective. Someone came up and tried to dance with me during a song once and he actually worked into the lyrics, "I just want you to get the ($*# away from my woman" and he has been known to come off stage even mid song if he felt someone was overstepping his boundaries. No worries though ladies (I know that some people, depending on their background may be saying, oh no abuse potential so I want to allay any fears those who don't know me yet might have. But he respects me and my judgment and doesn't try to control me. Any agreements we have regarding this sort of thing are by mutual consent. And he lets me tease him about it too.)

About other guys looking at me; it's kind of funny. I think MG's mildly flattered that others think the same thing about my attractiveness that he does as long as they don't look to act on it. But the funny thing is that I don't notice; as far as you could tell by me, I don't even get noticed most of the time. He usually notices them noticing me though and sometimes comments on it. I've teased him that he must be making it up but then he says, "well they're looking at you, and then they see me looking at them and that's why you don't notice they were looking at you. They decide you're definitely not available and it's better not to push it."

In all my experiences of dating and “clubbing” I have never had the joyful experience of hearing a lame pick up line from a guy. Does that really still happen?

Most of the men who approached me always started off with a really nice compliment usually involving my smile or how my eyes light up when I smile or something like that. The thing is, it’s not an obvious or cheesy come on…it’s more of an attention getter and a conversation starter.

I can’t believe there are men out there who really use those cheesy pick up lines, and I’m glad I haven’t had a guy use one on me because I think I would burst out laughing if they did!

I have had a guy approach me with cheesy pick up lines. "Are you tired? Because you've been running around my mind all night" being one I've heard more than once. LOL!!!! My normal reaction is laughter followed by "are you serious????" Rude, I know, but come on! And then I normally have to tell them "I'm flattered, and I'm also happily married, so I must decline. . . . but let me give you some pointers . . . "

I used to date a guy who was so “into” other guys checking me out. It was like I was some kind of trophy! It got to the point where I wouldn’t even notice that a guy was checking me out but he would and he’d point it out to me. It was funny at first, but got old really quick! I wanted to spend my time with a guy who only had eyes for me, not eyes for the guys who were eyeing me. LOL

LOL…ya know…I would love to have that happen to me just once! I might just look at the guy and say… “huh? I don’t get it. What do you mean?” or “Yeah…with all that empty space in there, there’s a lot of room to run around!” If they are going to be ballsy enough to hit me up with one of those come on’s, they’d better be prepared for payback!

In my experiences, the places that are the coolest dance clubs with the music and scene that is the most fun, are the places known to be the pick-up places, too.
