Yipes!!!

Today when I went to meet my friend Mary for coffee I had quite the strange encounter. I sat down to punch in phone numbers into my new phone and a man sitting near me said, "Looks like a lot of plans." I said, "Phone numbers." He said, "Oh, new phone?" I said, "Yes, LG Vue." Then he asked, "Is it really that cold outside that you had to wear a scarf?" Holy cow!!!! Leave me alone!!!!

Then he didn't talk for a few seconds. Then he asked if I was a real estate agent. I told him no. Then he proceeds to guess what my occupation is. I told him that he could keep guessing (this way while he was thinking I could actually punch some numbers into my phone). He guessed a lot of things and finally said, "Give me a hint." I was done with the whole thing so I told him, thinking this would make him stop. Nope!

He then proceeds to tell me that he dropped out of law school and is now teaching special ed at the nearby high school and have I ever thought of teaching music at a high school. I, of course, said, "Been there, done that, no thanks."

And then he says, "So, are you single?" CRAP!!!!!!!!!!! Dang it Anthony!!!! Why'd you have to break up with me???????????? I'm such a bad liar. I said, "Yes." He said, "Well, maybe I could get your number." I said, "I don't think so, I'm just getting out of a relationship and I'm not ready for anything else." He said, "Oh yeah. I thought maybe we could just trade war stories about teaching." Me: "I don't think so." (It was a very nice way of saying it, not mean). After another few minutes of chit-chat he finally gets up to leave. His last words were, "You should have hired me when you broke up." I thought, "Hmmmmmm a law school drop out turned special ed teacher representing me when I take my ex to court because he broke up with me?? Probably not." I tell the girl that had been sitting nearby, "Well, now you have a story to tell your friends." :)

Now, my friend Mary said, "You know that if he was hot you totally wouldn't have minded that encounter." True that, Mary. True that. The whole thing was more creepy than anything else. Also, I am not one who gets "hit on" or asked for her number so it was all very strange.

As stated in the title of this post: YIPES!!!!!
