Loverman, Where Can U Be?

In the pouring rain, last night, I travelled to Chino Hills to a wedding reception. It was a family friend, so I knew there would be merriment, comfort and joy. Music and sweet aromatic smells of the Latin world; hugs and kisses with my extended loved ones filled the air. Salsa dancing took place immediately con mis hermanos. Viva bailar!

Almost immediately, I met him,"loverman". The onyx and platinum band circled the left finger like a badge of honor; he wore it well. Did he think I didn't notice? Smiling politely, I danced our one song, but he had something else on his mind. A barrage of questions fired at me to "get to know" quickly as he held me close, breathing in my perfume. The song could not have ended fast enough. Hey, bubba, thanks but no thanks! Uumm, isn't your wife standing in the corner waiting to dance with you next?

Loverman was transfixed on his prey. It does not matter how many times/ways you say no, he has to have you. The pursuit relentless; the rejection heightens the game. I had to cut the evening short, loverman wasn't giving up and the wife's eye was spying. Cold cocking a guy at a reception, so not chic!

Driving the 91 Fwy, thinking, this is something I'll never understand or get use to. It's peculiar because it just occurred with another "loverman" a few days prior. EZE said he was inspired by my fishnet stockings...he's been thinking about me for a long time; could we meet to "know more about each other?" Steady EZE, how would you Mrs. EZE feel about this liaison? "Ah, why do you have to bring her up", he says.

I've asked why does this behavior exist and why is it happening to me fast and furious? Am I wearing a sign around my neck, "Vivacious single seeking lovers of committed nature...husbands and boyfriends apply here". It's been said that lovermen has everything to gain and nothing to lose. If the lucky woman says yes, bonus, but if she smacks him in the face, no harm no foul. As EWF sings, "that's the way of the world", but it perplexes me and I don't want to accept that answer. Don't they know, I lost my spouse to a "lovergal" so I'm not buying the arrangement. But I guess as long as "interested parties" continue to play, all's fair.
