Lass mich bitte in Ruhe

Okay, so, it is already pretty clear that a guy would be more effective at my job. Sometimes, though, being me, as I am not a guy, leads to interesting experiences. Imagine: You are a guy at a bar. You see a girl sitting with a group of 3-5 guys, and she is laughing and heavily engaged in conversation with these guys the whole time. You don't know her; therefore, she could very well be dating any one of them. What do you do?

I would imagine that if I saw such a scene, that I would consider her "taken" and move on. Well, that's not what happened to me last night. This one guy came out of nowhere and started talking to me, even though I was in the middle of a group of guys. After we ended our conversation, he kept coming around and trying to talk to me, sort of following me at one point, even though I was with my guys already. I don't get it. (Also, it should be noted that German guys don't seem to have the same protective instinct that Americans have, or at least that Southerners have. Haha)

Well, on a positive note, he said that my accent was very light.

Very light? That's amazing.

Poor you with the guy situation. My group of girl friends were stared down the other night, but that made more sense - and none of them actually spoke to us. Maybe a group of girls is more intimidating that the guys you were with. Ah, we're not in the South any more.

You always have the most intersting guy stories. :) When you come back here I'll have to tell you about the first time I met Travis, this guy I was 'talking' to. The first time we met, I ended up washing my own dishes!!! He was really weird and it was quite interesting, needless to say, I don't talk to him anymore. :)
