WTF?! *Rant*
Just a stupid rant. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Okay, I'm a friendly sort of person. Can't help it, I actually like people. That's not saying I'm a trusting sort of person, but I do honestly like people. Heh.
So, when I go to work I smile and wave and am cheerful to everyone. Male and female. Same smile, same wave, same cheerfulness. Nothing extra special.
Why is it that the guys at the place I work now think I have a hard on for them? *pulls out hair*
Four different guys, all beginning to show a VERY MUCH NOT WANTED xtra special kind of attention. One of them has begun to flirt blatantly, blowing kisses at me. >__< One of them has blatantly asked to come home with me and another is beginning to drop by my work area just to talk . About himself. ^_^
Another is showing interest by seeing if I'm struggling with any of the heavy lifting, if I have a big workload and coming over frequently to lend an unasked for hand, to see if I am in danger of running out of supplies necessary to do the job in that area and bringing some if needed.
But see, it's NOT his area and most people DON'T do that. Every task in the building is very specialized and if it isn't your job title, you don't touch it. He is a different job title altogether.
The first few times he did that, I just thought, what a sweet guy. Now it's beginning to creep me out, he's also begun wanting hugs. O__o He's pretty enough for a real guy. He seems very sweet. But... y'know relationships come with all kinds of compromises and I haven't had to compromise for 15 years.
Wouldn't mind having an anime/manga/movie companion, but I already know he's not into anime as when I wore a Trinity Blood shirt to work, he came up and introduced himself (He was wearing a John 3:16 shirt) and asked me what the significance of my shirt was. He said something else, I forget what, but I remember at the time that it indicated he believed the Trinity Blood was talking about the holy trinity.
I turned around and pointed at my pretty, pretty Abel Nightroad and said oh... it's nothing like that, it's an anime shirt and he remarked that his son in college watched that kind of stuff.
I mean, we *don't* talk. It's too busy, too noisy and we all wear headphones with our mp3's or ipods going. How the heck do these guys know me well enough to want hugs, kisses and go home with me?
I don't dress provocatively. I'm nearly 53 freaking years old for crying out loud. I wear jeans and my biggest floppiest anime shirts to work with a pair of grungy old tennies. In addition, I am just under 200' at 5'2". I mean, yeah I've lost weight, but Sandra Bullock I am NOT. Puh-leeze!
So what the heck!?
I've never been *that* interested in real men. LoL. Sci/Fi, Fantasy and Anime men... well *that's* a different story. I don't have to clean up after them, now do I?
I am beginning to feel very uncomfortable around these men. Main problem is I don't have the social skills to let them down easily. I just want to say 'I don't like men (not in a let's have hot monkey sex kind of way anyway... friends are fine) and I don't like sex with men.' and walk away. I also really, really don't like to be touched by strangers. And you know they are all strangers. Might as well be wife beaters, ax murderers or closet football fans for all I know.
