Double-Dose Liners
I was walking along the sidewalk, getting errands done today, when I caught a delightful aroma of food floating up to my nose. [I will refrain from revealing the name of this restaurant.] The mouth-watering smell enchanted me. And having forgotten why I stopped going to that restaurant, I decided to venture in to partake in their spicy specimens.
Towards the end of my meal, the waiter came to clear my dirty plate and glass.
Waiter: You are so beautiful.
I was rather taken aback by his compliment, but responded politely.
ME: Thank you.
I made a face to myself as I pulled my wallet out to pay my bill.
ME (to myself): Ah, yes, I can remember why I stopped coming here.
The waiter returned to pick up my bill.
Waiter: I wish I had a girlfriend like you.
I gave him a look, like, "WHAT??????? In the HELL?????"
Okay, for one, that is way over-board as far as tip-enticing strategies go. And in fact, I was tempted not to leave a tip at all! And for two, even if it were true that he was captivated by my stunning beauty (LOL - that is too hilarious. I mean, I'm no dog, but I'm not exactly a princess either)... Oh, yes, but back to my reasoning - even if he did find me physically attractive - what's with the girlfriend line? Has that actually worked for him to get into girls' pants? I do have to wonder.
Can't a girl just have lunch by herself now and then?
Okay, I will say that the waiter was rather attractive himself. But STILL... Am I sounding like a prude?

Comments:
no, no, not a prude. but your server could have at least waited for an opportune, more comfortable time before spooking you with such a line.
If he works eight hours a day, and has fifty female customers a day, and it works one out of fifty times. Now that I think of it, I never told a girl she was beautiful at the first meeting.
