GAS Station Holla

It’s  been a while sense my last post but I’m happy to say I’m back.

I have a story to tell that I’m sure happens often hopefully not just to me but to many of you as well. Picture it:

I’m at the gas station minding my own business pumping my gas and a guy pulls up and say “will you pay for my gas” I laugh as he is walking away to go pay. He came back, I’m just about finished and he says “you have a beautiful smile” I’m thinking to myself “Oh God not again” I say thank you and begin walking around my car to leave and he says “Well I guess your boyfriend tells you that everyday” and in my honest stupidity I say, I don’t have a boyfriend ‘my bad’ so this opened the door for this question: “So how can a guy like myself get to know you better” I tell him our like that I’m doin me right now, focused on my career not really interested in a relationship. He pulls out his card and says “well if you change your mind give me a call.’

THE END

Okay so you may be saying “Lady B why didn’t you give dude a chance?” I know he didn’t come at me with “hey there Shorty” or the popular “Psst… Hey lil mama” but please let me now describe, let’s call him Mister. He had to be in his mid to late 40’s a little chubby (don’t get me wrong I’m not pickin on Mister’s weight, it’s all in how a person carries themselves). He was wearing faded army fatigue pants with a white shirt that had faded blue sleeves, some dirty faded sneakers, a faded blue baseball type cap and to top it off he had one gold tooth in the front of his mouth.

Okay so here is my problem yes I know many times us women pre judge and we don’t know he could be a good man but umm… Not trying to sound arrogant, but are not first impressions everything? Don’t we put our best foot forward when we see someone we may be interested in? I mean yeah we at the gas station and no, you didn’t expect to meet anyone, but would you at least say “I’m sorry for the way I look I normally don’t look this way I just got off work or my profession keeps me messy.” I don’t know maybe it’s just me, maybe my standards are too high LOL! No but really, ladies I think we owe it to the single men in our live (i.e., little brothers, friends, uncles etc.) to prompt them on approaching a woman in different situations let them know what we don’t like and fine offensive. We as well could learn a thing or two from them as well.

I don’t know it’s something about that gas station no matter where I go I’m always getting hit on my older men, sometimes I want to say how do you know I’m not underage, or don’t you have a kid or granddaughter my age, but now a days “age ain’t nothing but a number” I guess????

Well I hope you enjoyed my gas station “love” story. Let’s help the single men in our lives and in turn educate ourselves. Though we have standards, do we sometimes allow them to sabotage a good thing? Hmm… But on the other hand don’t settle because you feel this is your last chance. This is where we must discern and ask God for direction, wait your season will come.

These are just my Thoughts
