Well, ok...maybe the B&N thing might work. Given the right circumstances.

Tonight I was there for a short time with my daughter. A handsome, older (greying temples) black man caught my eye and was looking at me, so I looked back. This led to quite a flirt fest. And he actually followed me to the cashier, bought a book right next to me, and watched us leave in the parking lot...but evidently he didn't get his nerve up to say anything. Maybe he'll be there again sometime. It was hilarious really. I couldn't have given him more reason to say something, smiles and all.

*sigh*...I asked my brother about the B&N thing and he said HE wouldn't try it, too risky and male egos though huge are VERY fragile. LOL...men

Well, there is no argument for this.

And besides - as Dr. Ruth said - you are not going to meet someone in front of the TV and you are out having fun plus your daughter gets to go to the book store too.

Why not?

Oh - and there is the added bonus that we LOVE your stories!!

The reason I go is my daughter loves reading manga there, and I look over Spanish language books to see if there's anything new. So I'd be going anyway. I also study there during the semester. I study better with people around and noise. I'm a true extravert.

The guy could be slime, who knows? If so, I'll send him packing.

My brother's question to me in email this week was "why do WE always have to do the initiating?" I told him men don't initiate, unless they get the nod from a woman first...so who's really initiating?

You are so smart!! And right on with this one, "I told him men don't initiate, unless they get the nod from a woman first."

My friend had a saying I agreed with that is along the same lines - A man is the head and a woman is the neck. The head thinks it is in charge - but it is really moved around by the neck!!

(that is an old spanish saying - so i know you will appreciate that one!)

HERE HERE!


That's like my DH thinking I don't initiate sex enough. I don't? WHAT do you call climbing into bed naked, and snuggling up full body to someone? A TURN DOWN?


Men should get over themselves and their "delicate egos that are always having to go out on the big limb". We women almost always decides who asks us out from the beginning. LOL

I didn't see that one - but it is on my "to rent" list - it sounded really good.

OMG, you will LOVE it. I own it and have seen it way too many times, and it's never boring to me. That is a MUST rent Judy. Get it soon and then tell us how you liked it!
