It bruises my ego when a girl who I'm not attracted to contrives to mentions her boyfriend midway through a conversation as if to warn me that I don't have a chance. I didn't even want a chance!
are you lampooning me, anon?
This happened to me at my new job. Most of the people there are women in their 50s to 60s. I had said hello to the girl who sits across from me a couple of times and not got much of a response, then when I asked how her weekend was she brought up her boyfriend coming over to visit immediately and said nothing else. I’m just trying to find someone to talk to about something other than menopause.
