In any case, I really need to get myself back on track, as I seem to operating on a short fuse lately. I went out a few nights ago for happy hour with my girlfriends. I thought a girls night out might be a be good way to get my mind off the recent breakup, and the last thing I wanted was any attention from men since my frustration level with the opposite sex is at an all time high
Well, I end up getting hit on by a 50 something, overweight guy. Shortly after he introduces himself, he tells me that I have a lovely figure, then proceeds to guess my weight, height, and measurements (including bra size!). I was at a loss for words, but then he annoys me further by asking how old I was. I was completely outraged at this point. I told him that my vital stats were none of his concern, and that if he's in the habit of treating women like objects he should take his chauvinistic attitude elsewhere. Then I slapped his face, and told him that it was on behalf all women, past or present, who had to endure his offensive pickup lines.My friends were shocked, since I'm normally very reserved, and in the past would have just found an excuse to avoid talking to the guy (and brooded over what I should have said/done days later). But then they broke the silence with a round of laughter, and some "you go girl" high fives. They also told me that I seem a little on edge these days, and either need some counseling or some valium
I think they're probably right. I thought you folks might have some good techniques in mind to help me find an inner peace.Veronica
