Many years ago, I was getting dressed to go out and was using the big mirror in my Mom's bedroom. A woman offered to zip up my dress but neither of us attempted anything. I had to go out. And I don't even remember how it came about that she was even there. We weren't friends, so maybe it was the gaydar thing (or rumors), but she never asked me out. I had heard about her and she'd probably heard about me. She didn't come back or call, so we never got together.

I used to go to the public library often and read magazines, check out poetry books and videos. In the summer, people would stop in, sit at a table just to get out of the summer heat. One day, I was standing at the magazine rack when a young woman came up to me. I ignored her, because to be honest, she was too aggressive. She didn't say anything, just got too close. A woman that was with her, tried to get her to leave me alone, but she was determined to get my attention. The whole thing was only a minute or two but it was weird because she never said anything. Now her gaydar was probably working, or someone had pointed me out, but that was definitely the wrong way to approach me.

On two different days, outside a grocery store, a woman I use to work with, asked where I lived. Each time, I described how to get to my house, but she hasn't been to see me yet. Now come on, I know it could just be that she wants to be friends, but I had the feeling that it was more than that. Maybe she didn't get the courage to follow through. I have been thinking about her though, and if we meet again, maybe I'll invite her to lunch -- if I'm still single.
