If you are a female and single then probably you’ve been through this.

Don’t you get this from people regarding everything you want to do or say, they reflect it back to getting married!

But this is too far.

I ran into this really old guy from work, he’s hitting his fifties, so I said HI, how are you and how’s work and then he asked me if I got married and I thought it was refreshing that someone was just direct and not dancing around the subject, I said no. Then he made this lame comment that I didn’t think was a big deal till later.

Him: Since you are not married then I can give you my card

Me: Why, you wouldn’t give it to me if I were married?

Him: I don’t want you going to your husband telling him this guy gave me his card

The stupid conversation continues about what am I waiting for and “لا القطار يطوفني”

“لاعت جبدي من هالقطار … لا يطوفكم لا يطوفكم … يبا ما نبي نركب غصب أهو”  but what I said “الزواج قسمة و نصيب”

He then writes down his email and proceeds to write down his mobile, then stopped and said do I have to write down my mobile, I said no.

I just stood there confused, thinking about the whole nonsense conversation, I’ve got male contacts, I’m still in touch  with my previous supervisor! Is that wrong? I’ve got a previous colleague calling me to congratulate me when women got into the parliament. Should I start counting the business cards I have in my card holder folder, I don’t meet that many women in my business. All my colleagues are male, some are married and some are single. I brought a gift to one because his wife just had a baby and I don’t even like the guy that much, but his kid is so cute I love my current supervisor, over the past two years, I’ve introduced the whole family to him, even if my brother came to my work place, I take him there just to say HI. It’s just natural to become close if you work with someone for a period of time and they are decent.

The problem he’s my dad’s age, so if I’m going to hit on a guy, it’s definitely not you, to top that, you smoke, complete turn off!!!

I’m capable of handling myself, if some guy decided to push it too far and cross the line. Not every relationship between a man and a women needs to be romantic.

This morning I lost his card on purpose. I’d like to keep thinking of him as the nice guy that used to come to my office with coffee in hand.
