This usually happens to the other guy

[LVSteve]

I was getting my car serviced yesterday and at some point decided I had read enough of my book and started wandering around the showroom. There was a lady walking up and down the Porsches and after about her third pass she stopped by the 911 Cabriolet I was looking at. I asked if she was having trouble deciding what to get and she said she had the 2012 version and was just checking out the differences. OK then, lady with taste and serious spending habits. Looking at her wedding ring I would say she and her husband can afford it.

Anyway, turns out she is quite a car girl and we ended up having quite a chat. Somewhere in the conversation I must have said something like "Oh yes, my late wife liked those", because when it came time for me to leave she followed me outside on the pretense of looking at my car and asked if I might be dating again. GULP!!! Fortunately, the question was asked with a view to me maybe being a match for a flight attendant friend of hers. PHEW!! Anyhow, it seemed kosher I gave her my number to pass on.

Fast forward to a few hours later and it suddenly hit me, there is a chance there is no friend. Am I about to be volunteered as the dance partner for some elderly mobster's trophy wife? Short career span in that game, I reckon. If I disappear my Smiths are already promised to my sis-in-law and my attorney. Sorry chaps.

Well that sure beats the time a good friend set me up with a lady friend of his he knew was married but neglected to tell me!!!! I never left a place so quick or was so paranoid for so long lol.

Whatever happens just keep to the old adage: "In bed by 10, home by midnight."

Have ya flown lately? Flight attendants ain't what they used to be...

Dating late in life is the most exciting, dangerous and self-denigrating experience I have had this side of sticking my tongue in a light bulb socket at age 3.

Have fun! Just remember to laugh alot. Especially at yourself.

How did I know somebody would do that? I'm amazed that you beat Caje and Sip to the draw.

The slovenly habits I can back up to some degree. Neat and Clean Freak is a descriptor you will never hear applied to me. Explaining away the Jag I was having serviced is a bit trickier.

Something to ponder - Just because she has absolutely no regard for her marriage doesn't mean her husband won't take umbrage if he catches you kickin' around in his stall.

Just sayin'

At least you're getting a shot. When women ask me if I'm trying to date again, the question is usually followed by hearty laughter.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

Greyfox; same thing happened to me at the grocery store the other day. When I said I was widowed she said "too bad".

Oh, I don't WANT the lady I spoke to to call me, no way, Jose. I am fervently hoping that the flight attendant friend is 100% true. You won't catch me playing "the other man".

Go watch Pulp Fiction. It will work better than ice water if you are thinking da big bosses wife.

Many years ago after my 1st marriage, you know the practice one, I almost bought a cheap turn your finger green wedding band to wear to keep women away. When women find out there is a divorced man that has a good job is around one is not safe.

I've been stalked by a married woman, lied to, appraised, chased and did not like it.

I was a single parent, I told my daughter that I'm through with dating and the inherent craziness. Right after I made the vow to go celibate, become a hermit and focus on guns, hunting and fishing the perfect woman came along by accident.

I wouldn't worry too much. There's no such thing as the mob...
