Flirty Friday
Saturday, December 2nd, 2006Yesterday was definitely a day to remember.
I went back to the cafe, and he was there again. People came and went, and sat down at the next table to eat his lunch and started to chat with me. At one point we were alone in the cafe. He asked me where I’d been for the past few days, and I told him about my 2 jobs. He went on to ask me about my jobs, my hometown, etc. Then he asked me if I had a boyfriend. I told him that I didn’t and he asked me why, as I was so “charming and lovely”. Some instinct told me to ask him about his marital status, and he admitted that was married. In fact his wife worked in the restaurant next door! A bloke called to him for something, and he told me it was his dad! He said that he’d been married for 8 years, had no kids, and didn’t report any marital problems, but he was attracted to me. I told him that I could only be his mate.
When I’d finished eating, he asked me if I would walk with him to the bank to continue our conversation. What the hell, I thought to myself. So we walked to the bank, then he walked me back to the counselling centre. He shook my hand then kissed both my cheeks. He asked me to pass by again and keep in touch. He’s very cute and a bit of a charmer, so I need to be very careful with him. A bit of flirting would be nice, but I’m not up for anything else with a married guy. It’s a great boost to my self-confidence though; he hasn’t even seen me at my best (in makeup/dolled-up).
After work I went to the uni for Kay’s leaving do. I got there at 7pm so I ended up helping out a little at the concert that was being held by the department. After that we went to a nearby pub for drinks. I drank a bit more than usual, a couple of my usual martinis with lemonade, plus I tried tequila and sambuca for the 1st time (yuck). I also had a few soft drinks to pace myself. I felt okay mostly, though when I was walking to the train station my stomach felt very unsettled.
I left at 11pm. I’d been planning to leave with Alvin, but he wasn’t “f***ing leaving yet” and was considering spending the night on someone’s floor. Everyone was talking crap mostly. Veg was there and I told him a few dodgy things that I hope he doesn’t remember in the light of day. We had a good chat though, he’s a good bloke.
I’m not a pub person, but it was an alright night.

I’m glad he didn’t ‘report any marital problems’ – I hate it when they do that! Married men = unavailable, whether they’re having problems or not. If it were that bad they would have left by now innit?! Definately a no go zone unless the ring on their finger is from you!
But don’t it suck a bit that the mystery is gone now?

well yeah. it sucks that the first guy that i’ve liked in ages is married, but c’est la vie i guess.
i was expecting him to give me the usual line about how his wife doesn’t understand him or how they have a loveless marriage, etc. but he didn’t really talk about it.
better luck next time i guess. thanks for responding missy.

Oh no a married man…. what can I say? – Seriously though – he was saying some nice things about you, just a pitty that he isn’t free. – Still there must be out there some single guys that will say nice things and be available. – Let’s face it anyone that flirts behind his wife’s back is not worth it. But a flirt is always fun… though not always the best move (in my experience). Good luck with this.
