Rant of the week

So I know cheesy pick-up lines have been discussed here before. I have a slightly different topic to cover here today. Gettin holla'd at as I'm walking down the street or driving. I just don't get the point! I'm not your "shorty." I don't know you!

Tell me, am I supposed to run over and jump in the car with you? Or if I'm driving, pull over? Guys, have you ever yelled "compliments" at a girl with any expectation of anything or are you just blowing off steam? Should I relax and take it as a compliment? Most of the time, I just keep my head down and keep on going. Other times, my less lady-like qualities come out and I tell 'em what they can do (or point them in the right direction).

On a related note, a friend of mine once was in such a situation and invited the guys over to my apartment where she was heading. They didn't show up, to my relief. Maybe, unlike her, I'm just not cut out for this type of courting ritual.

Good subject and question today. I guess I have with no expectations at the time but perhaps thinking one day running into the same girl at the car wash or mall and the shout out to her being the ice breaker to start a convo like... so, the other day I seen you where was you headed so fast.

... She was probably heading somewhere fast because of the dude hollering at her out of a car window.
