Odd things.

Sometimes I will meet people and they will do or tell me things that they did that make no reasonable sense.

For instance: A guy is hitting on me. In order to feel closer to me he has me hold onto his stuff as he takes care of "important" (read: unimportant) chores. I see how this makes sense to him. It's somewhat "couple-y" behavior mixed in with some "take care of me" behavior. Except, we haven't slept together. We aren't even dating. We're in the same youth group together.

I got myself into this situation by being nice, and saying, "Sure, I'll hold onto your water bottle as you go dig around your bag for your wallet", because my mind was logically thinking: who would put their water bottle down on a New York City sidewalk? Except, he keeps doing it. I kept saying yes until this weekend when he tried to get me to hold onto his heavy backpack so that he could run over and speak to someone important in our community without, y'know, being hindered by a backpack. He made the false assumption that I wouldn't mind holding onto something heavy for him. I told him, "No" and walked away from him.

He was quite surprised at this and called after me, "C'mon Windy!". I just kept walking. I hate carrying heavy stuff, and I do it all the time for my mother. I'm not doing it for anyone else unless I'm married to them or they're my spawn.

But it's like, he saw that as a way to get closer to me. However, maybe the better thing to do, would be to offer to carry my things. I don't even have many things. I can't stand carrying purses. I put everything into my coat. You could offer to carry my coat. Its kind of heavy, but not really since I put only my keys, wallet and cell into it. It's the easiest thing in the world and would impress me. I don't always want to feel like I'm dominating a man.

Also on this topic of odd things men do to get women's attention, one of my former lovers went so far as to create a false facebook page and then he tried to friend me. I knew something was off when he had like...three friends. It was very strange. He has a certain style of writing (that and I checked his email listed via my stalking tool) that gave him away. I didn't end up friending him.

On a side (and final) note; Sundaes and Cones has amazing pumpkin flavored ice cream. It tastes like pumpkin pie. Heavenly.
