The greatest achievements were at first and for a time dreams. The oak sleeps in the acorn.
“No, I will get something after the movie.”
I tried to not get upset, but I couldn’t help it because this man was 40, so he should know a little bit better. Do I have to spell out what I am trying to ask for? I waited a few minutes to see if he would grasp that I was thirsty and get me a drink. Nope, nothing doing.
Finally, I turn to him, “Can you give me a ticket stub, so I can buy myself a drink?”
He reaches in his left pocket and hands me the ticket stub without a word. I grab it and walk out of the theater.
At first, I planned on getting myself a drink, but I kept on walking until I had reached my car. He calls me a few minutes later.
“Hey, ummmm….lose my number,” I say.
“Why?”
“I can’t believe that a 40-year old man did not understand that I was thirsty.”
“I was going to get you a drink after the movie.”
I thought about this response for awhile, and then I answered, “I was thirsty at that point, and you didn’t get the hint? Goodbye, don’t contact me again.”
It felt good and liberating. Oh well, back to the dating pool.
