Little Wonder He Doesn't Have a Girlfriend

I know, I know, I only post on Wednesdays but I just had to share my favorite part of yesterday.

Lucky you.

All of my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays at our local community college. My first class of the day is physics. We don't have assigned seats but you know how you just kind of tend to sit in the same seat every time anyways? And you know there's something not normal if someone sits in a seat they don't usually sit in. That's what happened yesterday...

I'm sitting in my usual spot, reading my text book before class starts so I can try to figure out what the teacher is talking about. All of the sudden this guy is sitting down beside me. A guy who usually sits clear on the other side of the room. If that's not bad enough he starts talking. First it wasn't to me. He was talking to blondie sitting behind him. I heaved a sigh of relief that I wasn't going to have to swat away a pesky male with my engagement ring lodged in his cheek.

Then he was talking again and this time I realized his questions were directed toward me. I decided to be nice, if a little hesitant to get too friendly. Guys always mistake my friendliness for flirtiness. Well, HE was definitely being flirty. He was going back and forth between talking to me and talking to blondie. After awhile I decided his flirting had gone on long enough. I pulled out the big guns. I placed my left hand on top of the counter so he could see my ring. Not totally obvious, but casually so as not to draw too much attention right away.

When he saw my ring he asked "Are you married?" "No, but I'm engaged," I replied. "When are you getting married?" There was audible disappointment in his voice. "Next month." "Oh." Then he turned his attentions to back to blondie. But all of the sudden he realized SHE had a ring on too! "Are you married?" he asks blondie. "No, but I'm getting married next week." I couldn't help but laugh at the situation. The fact that blondie was engaged too was just too funny. He came back with "I can't even seem to get a girlfriend." Maybe if he didn't make a habit of hitting on engaged women...
