Check Your Mojo At The Door

Tonight I'm having the most irritating of the irritating, middle aged guys ordering roses for their sweeties and trying to flirt with me at the same time.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! I hate, hate, hate that! What idiot really believes he is going to score some strange nooky while placing an order with a mushy lovey dovey card message to another woman?

you could always sneak a little extra note saying the person ordering the flowers was flirting with you.

Some guys just flirt, it is a part of who they are. I don't think they really hope to 'score'. They have had enough positive feedback from women that tells them their lives will be happier if they behave in a certain manner. Some don't even know they are doing it.

You are a captive audience for their attentions. As long as you keep it professional then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Sometimes I think men operate on the same system as telemarketers - just bombard the entire female population with flirtation. You'll get knocked back a lot of the time, but the benefit you gain from the small percentage who take up the offer may, if you're lucky, outweigh the cost of getting your face slapped.

I turn extremely cold and businesslike when they pull that crapola on me. It's always the ones sending flowers with protestations of undying love to the recipient, not boys sending their mommas birthday flowers. It's just inappropriate.

I imagine most of them are major losers. They're sending flowers to the one girl who didn't take out a restraining order against them, then hitting on someone who can't physically see them. It's just, just gross. (Yes, I'm reverting to my junior high days. It seems to fit.)
