Ok, so the fam and I are at Super Walmart tonight getting a few more wedding things. Since the wedding is in October and close to halloween itself I wanted to have some halloween candy. So I leave Andy with Caitlin to sit on a nearby bench while I ran off to the candy isle to see what goodies I could procure.
I get down to the end of the isle, browse for a few seconds and decide on bags of funsize candy bars, different kinds per bag of cource. I turn to head back up the isle not really looking at any of the people I'm walking past when an old man stops me and asks me something. I couldn't really hear what it was so I paused and asked him to repeat it please. He asks "Are you from hollywood?" to which I reply "No but I wish I was". He comes back with "You look like you're from there because you're so beautiful and you have to know that right?" and I say "Well thank you!". And this is where he goes from sweet old man to creepy old man. He asks "How old are you?"....I say 26. He asks "Are you married?" and I say I'm getting married next month, and I'm already a mom. He says "Why don't you and me get married now before you get hitched with the other fella?"....I was a bit stunned so I just said "I don't think he'd like that very much" all with a smile to contain how creeped out I was. Then I said he was sitting nearby with my daughter and he says again "Well you really are beautiful" and I again said thank you and proceeded to walk away and head back to Andy and Caitlin.
After getting back to Andy I said "some really creepy old man just hit on me and now I feel icky". Andy of cource was like 'what are you talking about crazy woman'. So I explained everything to him and he found it slightly amusing *go figure* and shrugged it off. But it got me thinking.............
Has it gotten to where the only people that find me attractive are old scruffy creepy men? Am I that not great to look at or something? I mean, the 1st time I get even remotely hit on in months and months it's by an icky old guy??? I felt great at first when he complimented me but the longer he talked the more that feeling went away and the creepiness set in.
So I'm wondering.....does anyone who's NOT an old man find me attractive or at least alright to look at? I know I shouldn't care and it shouldn't matter but I've always be a bit self consious about my looks and after tonight it shook the bit that I did have.
Will anyone throw me a bone here for christs sake? wink
And pity throws will not be accepted thank you!
