An Introduction
I have been a single fish in the big blue sea for just over five years now. I’ve tried meeting men in bars, at singles mingles, dance classes, and have even created online dating profiles with two different sites. Through all of these endeavors I have acquired several interactions with men who, unfortunately, fell short of what I am looking for. These stories can not be kept to oneself and thus have been told and retold to all of my friends and every new friend that joins our circle. My friends have been telling me for awhile now that I need to write a book or document these stories in some way so that they can be shared with others and so that we can all return to them whenever we are in need of a good laugh.
Some of these tales are old, some are from yesterday, some are long, some are short, and some aren’t about men in particular but are conversations between the ladies! I’ll write them all as they come to me…

Monkey Business: Part 2
He almost immediately grabbed my hand and held it in one hand while the other arm began to lightly pet it. Although a little awkward I new he was attempting to be sincere, right? Then the movie started and the constant petting continued, 30min into the moving and he was still going the same 5inches of my forearm. You now that feeling where your skin feels red and irritated although it isn't actually red on the surface. I'm not sure how else to describe it but suddenly all I could focus on was my arm and how much I wanted to scream stop, stop touching me. At one point I unwrapped my fingers from his tucked my arm against my waist and held his hand with my other hand. That worked for awhile but then he got up to go to the bathroom. I was like OMG Thank you!
A took this opportunity to pull my feet up into the chair with my knees up and then leaned on the arm rest opposite of him. When he came back, however, he shifted my legs so that my feet were back to the ground, grabbed my arm, interlaced our fingers, and began petting my arm again. I have to admit that really bothered me I should be free to sit however I want to sit, seriously WTF.
The second the movie ended and the credits started I ripped my arm loose from his, grabbed my purse, and was ready to run. At this point my arm had actually turned red!
