Leaving the cafeteria today:

Girl: HEY!! You're that guy!
Me: What?
Girl: That crazy bike rider, is that your bike(commenting on my bike, which I am holding...)?
Me: Yes.
Girl: You ride so fast everywhere
Me: Well, I always ride that fast
Girl: Where are the shifters?
Me: Shifters?
Girl: Yeah, how do you shift?
Me: It doesn't have any
Girl: <gives blank look>
Me: It's called a singlespeed, it only has one gear combination
Girl: Oh...is that why you go so fast?
Me: Not really, I just do
Girl: How? You can't shift!
Me: You pedal faster to go faster, do you remember your first bike?
Girl: No...My boyfriend has a bike, its got shifters
Me: Okay
Girl: I should tell him that having only one gear makes you fast
Me: I'm late for class, bye
Girl: Do you know my boyfriend?
Me: Bye<hop on bike, ride away at top speed>

I guess some people just don't get it...

Eventually, you gotta have conversation. Though, I once dated a woman who scored 1450 out of 1600 on the SAT. I guess, in that situation, I was, the dits.

She was fun to be talked at by.

Cute girls have cute friends. Even if you don't want to date her, then maybe you want to date one of her friends. It's networking man, get on the ball here.

Obviously her boyfriend is inadquate. Sure sounds like she was trying to pick you up. Why don't you just use her for sex and then try to do her girlfreinds?

Yeah. Theres an idea. Now I can get the clap. No way. Not only would that force at least a little conversation, which would SUCK, I do have a girlfriend.

Should have offered to let her try out the bike. Then you'd know if it was worth the relationship.

About two marriages behind. She went from Ray Davies to Jim Kerr (talk about opposite ends of the spectrum). I think she had a kid with each. She's now married to a french artist and advocates blowing up burger king establishments in her free time.

I saw the Pretenders on their last tour about a year ago. Chrissy still rocks as hard as she did 20 years ago!! And IMO she's aged very well compared to a lot of other rockers. Maybe it's her vegan diet / lifestyle...
