I’ve lost my skills…
Sooo, I use to rock the “opposite sex” skills and was quite clever in my come-backs, but since I got married and I predominantly work with women, I have not used those skills much and the following incident shows great decline in my ability.
There is this guy that works at Maryville that I have had a “school girl” crush on from the day I stepped on campus five years ago. (Yes, Tyler knows and we are working through it. ;) Though we have shot each other glances over those five glorious years, we have only spoken to each other twice. First time was in the cafeteria and it was pouring outside and I was completely soaked from head to toe, and he sarcastically said “It’s a little wet outside,” and I cleverly reply, “… yep…” and walked away. Unfortunately I didn’t redeem myself in our second encounter.
Once again, we bumped into each other in the cafeteria. He was in front of me in line to pay and after paying, he went to the other side of the cafeteria where they make specialty foods. I headed in the opposite direction where they have to usually cafeteria food. I was using the plastic picker-upper thingy to get a hamburger, and unaware that he got in line behind me, he scared the crap out of me as he asked if I have ever tried the turkey burgers. Being completely caught off guard, I threw the picker-upper thingy in the air and it landed about two feet away from me. Unfortunately, my humiliation didn't end there. Acting ever so nonchalant like throwing plastic picker-upper thingies was a norm for me, I picked it back up and replied, “no… I prefer hamburgers…”
“Really? How come?”
“I like that they’re…uh…[loss of words, think of something quick!]... meaty…er…?”
"Oh..."
What the heck was that?! I like hamburgers cuz they’re meatier?! Sounds like a bad pick-up line; Yeah, I like them meatier, I’m a girl who can handle a lot of meat, if you caught my drift… After saying that, I just kinda paused in disbelief that those words came from my mouth, put the picker-upper thingy back, avoided eye contact and walked away. Real smooth, Erin… real smooth…
