I've been hit on my fair share as a woman and pretty much felt like I'd heard it all. It doesn't bother me unless it was disrespectful and I usually keep it moving without a second thought.
I was hit on recently in a way that made me think about it...A LOT.
I was walking back to my truck through the parking lot at the Amish Market and a black 745 BMW rolled up slowly next to me. Dude rolled down his window and said, "I thought me and you were going shopping today?"
I was so startled that my head jerked up and I looked him dead in the eye and, for once, I found myself speechless. I mean...there wasn't a damn thing I could think of saying. I mean...sure...I can think of a crap load of stuff NOW that I could have said to him but I was seriously startled that that was how he rolled up on me.
I kept it moving.
But that shit made me go...WOW.
I mean...it's obviously worked for him before right? And that made me go...hmmmmmmmm...
I've discussed with several of my friends who all agree that yeah...old boy prolly gets much play leading with that one in this economy. Hey...even The Robinator was like...
Robby: You should have told him to meet you at Best Buy and got us one of those SONOS CONNECT Wireless Music Streaming System and a new Bose system.
Me: *SIDE.EYE.OF.DEATH!*
SIP: Hey...he's got a good point. Might as well use it till you lose it.
N.E.WAY!
So yeah...I thought about that A LOT!
Since people are so quick to call a woman a gold digger if the man has more money than the woman and showers her with gifts from the lifestyle he's accustomed to...what should we call the men who proffer up fruits from this lifestyle right from the get go? I mean...this was bold as HELL! There has got to be a word for this right?
Has something like this happened RIGHT OFF THE BAT to any of yall? How'd you handle? Have you ever ended up dating someone who showered you with expensive gifts RIGHT OFF THE BAT and seriously grown to love them?
Have you EVER...taken the shovel they handed you?
