I decided to wear a new blouse I recently bought myself, along with my favorite denim skirt. Doing so would make me feel good about myself, and I want to look pretty for when my husband comes home from work. I had a notice the book I requested was in from the library, so I threw on my green flip flops and ran to the library.
Creepy Dude was at the desk, checking out. He turned to check me out. I was browsing the new book shelf, waiting for my turn, when I heard him begin to speak to me. I did not make any eye contact with Creepy Dude, but he began to tell me how I have on a nice green blouse. He told me my skirt should be green to match my blouse. He told me he really liked my green shoes. Creepy Dude, they're flip flops. You're either easily impressed or you have a fetish for green.
The entire time by the way, he's not using his library voice. Do Creepy Dudes have a library voice? The entire first floor heard him.
Inside my head, for a second I was mortified. I do not like unwanted attention other than from my husband. Why didn't I wear my burqa? Seriously, for a moment I was horrified, but then I quickly got over it. I can look good but no one gets these goodies except Soul One!
I looked up and made eye contact with Creepy Dude. I said nothing, but gave him a little smirk. The librarian looked like she wanted to rescue me, but she didn't have to. Creepy Dude left when I wouldn't engage his conversation.
Why is it every time I buy a new shirt, someone says something to ruin it for me? I once wore a dark purple satin blouse on a date with my husband. The hostess at the restaurant made a comment to me about how all I needed was a red hat. No offense to Red Hat girls, but I was a ways away from being officially old enough to join. Nothing like being told you look old to take the wind from your sails while on a date with your husband.
All that really matters is that DH will come home tonight and want to squeeze me. I'll tell him about Creepy Dude so in case he doesn't realize it, apparently I'm eye candy when dressed in green.

ignore them is the best way. Creepy dude sure did sound creepy, and maybe like you said, he likes the color green.
Your story made me chuckle, Dawn. You handled it so well! I love that you will let your DH know that you are eye candy to others!
Happy Birthday, and I hope you get an extra squeeze tonight!!
Happy Birthday, Dawn! Creepy Dude sounds creepy. lol Sounds like you handled it well though.
Hope it was a good one.. is that the blouse/shirt. I like it if it is...
I know he seemed creepy but he may not have been, I know of a young man who is on dd swim team who talks just like this. He creeped me out also until I learned he was delayed and had autism and couldn't help the way he spoke, he just told you everything as it entered his mind. I hope this may have been the case for you and wasn't some psycho man.
I hope You had a Wonderful Birthday
Hope you had a great birthday + creepy dude didn't ruin it for ya
He could have had delays, but given the emotions behind his words, I'm more led to believe he's an old dude who loves to look at the ladies. "Hmmmm, Yes! I love dem shoes ya got on dere. Hmmm, yes! Does are some nice feet."
Yes, this is the outfit I had on, minus the green flip flops of course. :)
Forgot to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I like it :)
I bet you looked great in it! Happy belated Birthday!:o)
