Because Sometimes The Unexpected Ones Are The Best Kind
I took a friend out to dinner last night and helped him choose last minute camping gear for a two week trek. Holy cow! Who knew that men could take every bit as long in a store as a woman?
But afterward, as we sat over sake and sushi discussing a hodgepodge of mountain trek goodness, life woes, and work nonsense, he informs me completely out of the blue that I am the "hottest woman he has ever known". Yes, I realize that those of you who know me IRL, are probably laughing as hard as I did (oops!). He looked sheepish and kind of insisted until I changed the subject.
It's not something I believe of myself....and the compliment had no context in the conversation at all. It's also not something that could ever be pursued as I am madly in love with someone else. But you know what? Sometimes those are the best kind.
