I was walking down the street late one Saturday morning. A man was pulling out of the driveway, he stopped, and looked at me. I presumed he was going to ask for directions, and since he was blocking my way, I stopped. He asked who I was and if I was staying with “Tony”. I was surprised and said no. He then said he would like to take me dancing and see me “in a skirt and nylons”. It’s not a totally new thing for me, but this was so direct I was shocked and couldn’t say anything.
I need to find some better snappy responses for next time.
