So, I’m sitting with my husband at the Investools Advanced Options Workshop today. I know this is completely off topic, but trading stock options is my second business…..and my yellow brick road to retirement.
Since I pretty much talk to anyone, I got friendly with the guy sitting on the OTHER side of me. Like myself, he was not the typical Investoolite (mid 30s, not that bad looking) and French. Lets call him Jacque.*
Jacque also had a laptop with a wireless connection that was connected to the ThinkorSwim trading platform. (This means I could check streaming quotes of my stocks) He was new to the program and we got into a discussion of my trading style, my current trades, yada yada.
So, at the first break, my husband leaves to use the restroom. Jacque leans over to me and says, “So is there any way I can meet you outside of here?”
“Oh, well….my husband and I are going to happy hour at Zen 32 after class,” I smiled, “Would you like to join us?” I ask, completely oblivious to what was about to happen.
“Uh….I meant could I see you alone outside of here?” he winked.
I was COMPLETELY floored. I mean SERIOUSLY????
I get asked out all the time at work. But usually the requests are slurred (along with their vision of my wedding ring)
This was the first time I was EVER propositioned by a man outside of the club. And to top it off he had been conversing with my husband just moments before! Those dirty French!
Oh, my response….
“Nope, good try though” I brushed it off and went about my business.
I’m chuckling to myself as I write this. I thought about saying “Sure come on down to Christie’s Cabaret” but I knew he wasn’t a potential client. Paying to look at boobs isn’t very French.
Hmmmm, pretty CONFIDENT guy. I’ll bet it wasn’t his first time propositioning a married woman….and I’ll also bet he’s been sucessful at it in the past.
