Marlboro On: He's just not that into you... no#2

Case. In. Point.

Last friday I went out to join some girlies for cocktails in Soho at a 'friend 0f a friends' bar, these are ladies I had not seen in while and so what we needed was some time together to chat - be merry, you'kno catch up between ourselves.

The entire time we were there there was this odd guy, who introduced himself as 'the photography producer who works upstairs - above the bar' (don't you love when you gets a person's name, occupation and shoe size when they introduce them selves. Hey Mr. wondering who gives a sh*t? Yep, well not me), was just hanging around.

There is always a guy that does this when you want a 'girl's' night, the guy that hangs around like a bad smell contributing nothing - not even hotness - however is under the delusion that he is part of the conversation, and everybody is really is interested in his [non]contribution. That night it was THIS guy...

...and he was bald.

I am (as you all already know) quite brash at the best of times and normally I would have told him to where to 'get bent' in my charming cockney accent. However as he was friends with the bar owner who was so graciously plowing us with free drink, I just had to let him stand there and actually be polite to him - asking him questions about his 'life' (although I did sing I don't care, I don't care with my inside voice everytime he responded...).

Anyway.

After us shuffling... and him following, us shuffling again and him following again... the ladies decided that the situation was so exhausting that it called for a fag break, and as we proceeded towards the door - it happened:

Bald starey guy: So I was thinking you know, that we could go for coffee during the week...

Marlboro: *Awkward silence* erm..

Bald starey guy: No no, just you know to chat - if you give me you number I can give you a call right back so then you will have mine...

Marlboro: *Awkward silence + crickets* It's just you know, erm...

Bald starey guy: *stares intensely*

Marlboro: Fine, sure... *inside voice* Anything to stop you looking at me like that...

Its proven, if they are into you they will ask you out AND get that number out of you whether you like them too or not...

AND THEY WILL CALL, REPEATEDLY LEAVE WEIRD MESSAGES ASKING YOU TO CALL THEM BACK IN THEIR WEIRD BALD VOICE, AND THEY WILL DO THIS ON AVERAGE 2CE A DAY UNTIL YOU DO... OR KILL YOURSELF.

Hmmm

This should have been music man as I was working the magic on him; Music Man is now back on the shelf...

... and I am changing my number.

That is all

I think it is something about the way you treat people you are not interested in that attracts them to you. which is the most annoying freaking thing.

good luck with the music man after all, I can´t believe he is not lying on the floor begging for you to go out with him, what´s wrong with this guy??

minor approvements on my part, mister literate-theatre guy is texting and kind of flirty again but I´m somehow annoyed by the situation now- he RUINED it.
come to hamburg, we have to have a talk NOW.

<3
