Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Dragonflower says,

Well, do it 6th grade style. Have somebody ask for you. Seriously, it is a hard question to ask. What I've noticed when I've been talking to someone for a while and semi-flirting, if they are married or involved, they usually mention their loved one themselves in the converstion. The good ones, that is. Good luck. Better to know now than later.

Dragonflower says,

Maybe that was a joke memoir. If so, ignore my comment!

I've heard her mention her kids, but not her husband, which I find kinda strange. She's only worked here a few weeks and is an absolute scream. She told me this story last night, which was one of the funniest things I've ever heard more from the way she said it than the story itself.

Dragonflower says,

Mmmm, that is strange she hasn't mentioned a husband or an ex, if she has kids. But then, I have a daughter and I talk about her a lot, but I don't usually mention my ex in any conversations at all. I'm trying think when I was still married.....sometimes if someone was interested in me and I liked the attention because my ex didn't laught my jokes, I wouldn't mention him because then I knew the guy would stop talking to me.

Dragonflower says,

Sorry, keyboard sticks. "didn't laugh at my jokes."

Also, when I was married I wouldn't have led the guy on or done anything with him--I just liked the attention. Looking back, that feels kind of selfish on my part. It made work fun; I'd get dressed up to go--I guess I was leading him on. I feel bad now thinking of that. I never thought of his feelings. I'd just ask outright if I was you.

thesagittarian12 says,

When I'm being light-hearted and giving, she behaves all flirty. When I start acting all serious and needy, she backs off. I'm trying hard to keep this fun despite my deepening desire for her.

No ring? Usually that's a giveaway.

thesagittarian12 says,

We work in retail. No ring doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Wench says,

Can't hurt to ask.

canadafreeze says,

Ask her if she's seeing her in laws for the holidays ... too lame?

thesagittarian12 says,

I'll learn in due course. I'm not going to stop being friendly with her regardless coz she's way too much fun and I'm just being churlish and hurting her as well if I started creating distance.

accidentaltourist says,

Ask her only if it becomes too important to not know.

Wench says,

For a grumpy old man, you've been topping the charts on Love & Heartbreak. I think that's lovely. =)

thesagittarian12 says,

This just gives me a new subject to explore. It's also good writing practice.

Dragonflower says,

You can't fool us women with this being a writing practice. But good try.
