Straight Eye For The Straight Guy

[lacrosseboy]

So I'm standing in line in our cafeteria this afternoon, waiting my turn to order up some food. Standing two people in front of me in line is one of my buddies. In the next line over is a lady I played softball with on our company team a couple of weeks ago. The three of us are joking around and she says to Jason (my buddy), "So did you tell him

I agree with Andrea. She's probably interested but just wants to make sure you're not too good to be true before she makes an ass of herself by asking you for a drink. A lot of times a guy that is a snazzy dresser, is well spoken and intelligent and doesn't stare at your boobs with his mouth agape is just a nice boy. Then again, sometimes he's gay. If your gaydar is less than steller it can be a tricky thing to surmise.

In my own experience, I've found the "Is he gay?" question to be a necessary one. I've been known to waste my flirt a time or two on a boy who was batting for the other team. Luckily its never been a super embarrassing situation but one still feels a bit silly when it happens.

Oh, don't get me wrong... I stare at boobs with my mouth agape just as well as the next guy! ;)

Well, I'm going to try to find out who it was, so that I can determine how to proceed from here. I'm pretty damn sure it's one of two girls, though.

Yeah, but I'll bet you don't do it at work...or do you?!

Good luck with your fact finding mission! I hope both girls are ha-cha-cha-hot.

No, I observe the females -- all five of them :( -- more discreetly at work. I usually don't gawk, anyways. Don't get me wrong -- I most certainly do look... I can't help myself. The female figure is just amazing to look at. But I do tend to me a little more covert in my operations. :)

Ehhh... one is pretty good and the other is alright, but neither are what I'd call ha-cha-cha-hot. That's OK, though.

Yes, gawking is bad. See, I knew you were a nice boy. Sometimes you have to look, I understand, but discretion is key. Heck, I'm a girl and sometimes even I have to look when a girl is that pretty. I'm sure its not the same experience, though.

Its probably more similar when I spot a particularly nice male specimen. A friend of mine and I used to have a code for spotting hot guys. If we saw one we'd go "code L at twelve o'clock"(or wherever). The L meant he was doing a nice job of filling out the seat of his Levis. We were younger, though and not very discreet at all, I'm sure people knew exactly what we were talking about.

But I digress. The other thing I was going to say is that the good thing about ha-cha-cha-hot is that you don't really know who is or who isn't until you've spent a little time with them. No one can truly be ha-cha-cha-hot unless they've got one of those addicting personalities that draws you in and hooks you.

Sometimes, I can't help but stare quite intensely. Usually, the level of staring is proportional to the amount of alcohol I've consumed.

I'm sure everyone has code. By now, me and my roommate (my usual wingman) have an unspoken language. It's pretty cool. And it doesn't just pertain to girls, but also alcohol and some inside jokes. Non-verbal communication is key.

Ah, I see. I didn't understand about ha-cha-cha-hot. I do now. Thanks.
