I don't think he ever actually invited me to go out anywhere
with him. (But I definitely don't remember ever agreeing to go.)
Well, he did try to bring up that "Hooters" restaurant,
but I put a stop to that quick enough. He tried to tell me
he had heard that it is a family restaurant. So I said "Well,
maybe it would be, if you're talking about the Manson family!"
and I had heard about this restaurant called "Hooters."
I thought it sounded like a place where a guy could show off
his manhood. For example, I thought maybe I could wait awhile,
watching the waitresses go by, and then I'd say
just say that I was merely referring to the nice place-setting
on the next table.
he gets the wrong idea, and thinks that boy-girl things are about
to happen. So I fed him that same line I always found myself
using with Ted--that I am going steady. Only Bob doesn't buy it.
He just won't give up. (He must have thought that I was playing
"hard to get.") But finally, I wear him down, and he leaves.
I think I must have finally convinced him that my sandwich
was the only thing of mine he was getting to eat.
(If only I had gotten her to that restaurant.)
I did end up going to "Hooters" later by myself. And you know,
since I was only paying for one meal, I had some money left over.
And so I figured, since I didn't "get any" from Carol, why not give
the amount, that would have been Carol's meal money,
directly to the waitress? But I didn't, although that waitress,
she looked like she would have been a good value,
at least compared to Carol.
a lost cause. Because after he asked me if he could boldly go
where no man had gone before, Bob was dead meat in my book.
