Today I realized that it's been nearly a year since I've last seen my former fiance. I have not been on one single date in that time, though I made the sincere New Year's resolution to go on one meaningless date this year. I've not really met anyone interesting in that time, and so, I've not been really tempted to date.
Well, tonight at work, a verrrrrry nice looking gentleman came in with his grandmother (we're keeping in mind, I hope, that I work evenings at a retirement home.) He came in, and I felt a little awed by his nice-looking-ness. He asked how I was doing, and I said, "I'm doing well, thanks." The lady passing through behind him said, "You always say that," and blushing, I replied, "Well, if there was one thing I learned in high school, it was how to be grammatically correct." The lady then shook her head and walked away, and the gentleman stood there, laughing. I said, "How are you?" To which he replied, "I'm well..." We awkwardly chuckled over this, and as always, I decided to take matters a step too far. "I guess you could be doing good." He looked down at me, confused, and I added, "You know, like for humanity." He shook his head slowly, the joke lost on him, and I resolved to never again try and use grammar for flirting purposes.
He then left. No information was exchanged.
I'd like to think that maybe I seduced him with my awkwardness. Just a little.
