Indicators that Spring is Here (When you are in the South)

So Spring Break is in session for a lot of schools and that is usually my first indication that spring is in the air. The second thing is that Dallas or Texas I should say begins to warm up really fast and the third and most obvious indication is that women begin to get more attention. I’ve learned that there is something about the spring and summer weather that makes guys pay more attention to women. And for the brothers in the south, they have a mentality that regardless of what they have going on for them (and more importantly, what they don’t have going on for them), they can get any woman they want or something. Yeah right!
Don’t get me wrong, my ideal guy has to know his worth and be confident in himself (This is a MUST not a plus for me), I honestly cannot date a guy that second guesses himself all the time. Now, I do understand everyone has a phase in life … but hey! It’s a moving phase not a stand-still zone.

Check this out…. my flight lands from Ohio and since I had toiletries, I had to check in my suitcase (and besides, I had too many gimmicks from the convention to want to be logging my suitcase around with me). Anyway, I’m off the plane and heading to baggage claim when this 329,471,294,791,247,912 year old guy sees me (okay so I lied, he must have been like 40+). I’m guessing he was a limo driver since he was holding up a name waiting for someone, he was bold enough to walk up to me to say hi and he gives me the “scary” southern older guy I am interested in you look and I gave him the girl on a mission, I’m NOT interested Hi. I briskly walk away hoping that that indicates the I don’t want to talk to you atmosphere without forcing me to actually say those words (I am obviously not interested in him). I did make it away and I put on my iPod to signal okay I seriously am not interested in conversation. I pick up my luggage and head on to the car, (My wonderful younger sister is kind enough to come get me… I swear, I could not have asked for a better sister and best friend), I put my luggage in the trunk (boot) and I head on to get into the passengers side when the same guy comes over, he gives me his business card, and opens my car door and he tells my sister that he would be the one picking me up from the airport the next time I fly. We both smile and say thanks. This was my confirmation… Spring is definitely here!

Here are a couple of my favorite funny and cute come-ons
Atlanta
- I am walking 2 blocks to my clients’ site when a car pulls over, you know me… paranoid and since I cant fight, I’m already planning my escape route in case I am about to get jumped, robbed or carried away. The guy gets out of his car to tell me that he thinks I am really cute and blah blah blah. If you know me, you know that I am usually running late to work (I don’t do too well in the mornings). I didn’t think he was cute so to get him off my case I was a married woman . (Southern guys are very persisitent, you need to understand that boyfriend sometimes doesn’t mean anything to them, it means there is no ring and therefore they have a chance)
- My Favorite…..2 cops in their car at a traffic light and I begin to cross the zebra crossing just when the light begins to indicate, do not cross. The police alarm blares for a second and I was thinking, darn… (why did I cross the light I would get a Jay Walking ticket now) and the policemen roll down their windows and say you have a right to remain FINE. Needless to say they made my day.
New York
- I am walking (more like shopping) in Manhattan, New York; it was one of those beautiful Fridays when I was “working from home” when some guy says, “you will win”, I ask win what? “America’s next Top Model”. I say: I’m not in the running and he says you should run… you will win.
California Compliment
- I was down at 8:30 am trying to grab breakfast at my client site. This lady was waiting for her order, she turns around and says “You don’t look like you work here; you look like you should be on the front page of a magazine”. (Needless to say she had me smiling all day)
- You look like a doll, said the cute analyst I met at the Accenture training in St. Charles. She’s on my project now and guess who looks out for her on a regular basis … moi!

Let me know what your favorite, funny or annoying come-ons are?
