OK, I had the weirdest thing happen today...... So, I'm out with the other 2 VP's from work for lunch. We go to a nice place that has mostly a much older clientele than me and them. Our waitress was new and she made a few mistakes but was nice and was trying. Well, when she comes to check if we needed anything one of the guys I was with says that they were OK but that, as I was the only "single" guy there, I would like her phone number! I was floored. I hadn't said such a thing and truth be told, I'm not actually "single", not yet at least! She smiles and says "Sure" and gives me her number! I was so stunned I just said thanks and gave her my name when she asked.
I couldn't believe it. First of all, I'm not ready to date but these guys are always pushing me to. I just stopped even talking to them about it because they are the typical "Just get on with your life, your wife is a jerk" types that have no understanding at all of my sitch. After we left I told them that was not cool and that they need to never do anything like that again. Of course they were saying she wouldn't have been so quick to give her number if she didn't like me and all I'm doing is wasting time, a bunch of macho guy crap about needing to just "get out there", etc. It was embarrassing. But at the same time it is nice to know that a pretty woman found me attractive enough to give me her number like that out of the blue.
Now I'm going to feel bad if I don't call this woman. I'm sure it wasn't easy for her to do that and if I don't call her she may be hurt. Who knows, maybe she was dumped by a partner in MLC! What does everyone think I should do here? Should I just ignore the whole thing and not call or should I call and explain that she seems very lovely but I'm just not ready to date as I'm in the middle of a D? Heck, I've been away from this kind of thing for 26 years, for God's sake., I don't know what the protocol is for this kind of thing!
