It used to be a lovely excuse, but woe is me, I actually scare them away because of my sarcasm and as my father would say, feminism is just not appealing (not true).  I also tend to be painfully shy.  This of course does not mean that you should do the following if you are of the opposite sex:<br \/>\nSit across from me on the public bus and oogle at me with your 70&#8217;s teacher hairstyle that reminds me of my father when he was in college.<br \/>\nDrop a folded note in my basket with the words &quot;Hey Beautiful,&quot; as you mischieviously grin and get off the bus.<br \/>\nExpect me to go out on a date with you after your note pronounces you to be a Bible lovin&#8217; student with a minor in stupidity if you really think I&#8217;m going to accept a date with someone who saw me on the bus and didn&#8217;t speak a word.  As if telling me I have a nice smile is going to make me swoon in my seat, or figuratively speaking, at your feet, make me say yes through small pants.  What a lucky day this is for me.  I get a date.<br \/>\nI&#8217;d rather die a nun.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll give a guy a chance if he tries to get to know me first, but not like this.  So he&#8217;s shy.  Sure, not shy enough to write a note and walk away  with that ridiculous look on his face.<br \/>\nThe &quot;Hey Beautiful,&quot; was a nice touch though, even if it was a bit freaky.<br \/>\nWhy can&#8217;t I attract the nice guys for once?  Just once?  Ok, so I&#8217;m an attractive woman, but I&#8217;d like to draw my counterpart to me and not the opposite, and I would like for the weird ones to stay away.  Please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m so tired I seriously doubt I could come up with anything remotely witty, but this needs to be said.
