Does This Happen to Everyone?
Posted on December 12, 2009I was in a liquor store tonight. I walked up to the counter with my $6 wine as another customer was checking out. After he finished his business he did not leave the store though. Instead, he hung out for a bit. He looked at me in that way that men look at women when they’re interested. But then he got a single cigarette from the
store clerk so I figured that was why he waited, and his nicotine addiction was the reason for hungry look on his face.
But then when I left the store there he was. He had waited for me. He said hi. He asked me my name. I declined to give it. He told me I was looking fine.
Of course that’s flattering, but this guy was most definitely not my type, even if my type is pretty much all men. I was walking home and he was behind me so I opted to go into a different door of my building just in case.
Does this happen to everyone? I think it does. Not getting ogled by creepy guys in liqor stores, but knowing when someone is interested. I’m not saying it happens to me often, because it certainly does not. But that I KNOW is definitely something that happens. Lately it’s creepy liquor store guys or VERY old guys who find me charming.
Does everyone who isn’t completely clueless know when someone is interested in him/her (per)?
I swear. True story.
[Hey, kids, let me know your answer to my question, would you? Comment, fuckers. Also,I get my new my computer tomorrow. I'm so fucking excited. It's like Christmas, only way better.]

Straight boys like me are uniformly clueless. To make matters worse, those of us who are reasonably well socialized also pay some mind to not behaving like the “I’ll follow her until she feels threatened, surely that will get me into her pants” cad. So we may need a bit of prompting.

I think that this sort of thing happens quite a lot online. Unfortunately, in real life, too. And the more famous you are, the more they hunger for a piece of you…
