Today my girlfriend asked me to get her lunch. No, not just buy her lunch, but go get it for her. Then bring it to her work. Apparently she was so busy that she didn't have time to get it herself. Since I wasn't so busy and wanted to get outside for a bit, I agreed (OK I may have also did it because I like her). She also wanted a book that she had left at my place a few days ago and I actually remembered to bring it to work with me, so I could drop that off too.
Now my girlfriend is a vegetarian. Not a militant don't-kill-animals vegan, but just a normal vegetarian. I actually have a theory that all girls are vegetarians, but that some just cheat and eat meat from time-to-time (yes, I realize the potential sexual interpretation of that last sentence). So the point is, that she wanted a salad from this salad bar place a couple blocks form her work (actually conveniently equidistant between our offices).
Getting your girlfriend food at a salad bar can be dangerous, because you have to decide what to put in the salad. I kept picturing myself lying on the ground holding my crotch, with salad dumped on me while she yelled "You know I don't like cucumbers!" So I cautiously and slowly chose what I thought would be the perfect salad. Some lettuce, sprouts (chick love spouts), shaved carrots, lima beans, etc. A little fancy if anything.
So as I'm trying to decide what dressing to add, I hear a female voice say "Lots of choice, huh?" Standing beside me is a rather attractive lady, smiling. Then she actually said "Do you come here a lot"
Now, I had grown up being the guy desperately trying to pick up girls by talking to them in bookstores and grocery stores. And here was this way out of my league girl talking to me. Sucking back the drool in my mouth I replied "Uh, yeah. This place and the little vegan cafe around the corner" (which was a load of crap, I'm no vegan/vegetarian/whatever)
That's when she notice the book. It's one of those Sophie Kinsella "Shopaholic" ones. Total chick book. She gave me the arm grab and said "Oh my god, I loved this book! Have you read her new one... blah blah (I forget what she said)" Playing along, I said, "Oh yes, I've read all of her stuff. Isn't she great? I think more guys should read her" Well that did it. She stared in my eyes and said "I totally agree. I wish guys would put down the newspapers and business magazines and read things like this so that they could understand us better"
By this point we were in line to pay and keeping up the small talk. When we had both been to the cashier, she motioned towards a table and said "Hey, would you like to eat together?"
As much as I like to flirt, I decided to end the ruse. I may not be much, but I have always been faithfull in relationships and I wasn't about to dump my girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, if I was single I would have continued to lie through my teeth to nail this girl, but that wasn't the case today.
"Listen, I'm really sorry, but I have a girlfriend. In fact, this salad is for her, not for me. This is her book too. I haven't read it. To be honest, I really don't read much at all, except for the sports section. I was just playing along because I liked the way you were hitting on me"
She stared coldly for a couple seconds, almost looking hurt. Then she said, "Hitting on you? I was NOT hitting on you. I thought you were gay"
Ouch.
"Fucking loser" was all I heard as I walked out. Am I ever.
