ineptitude

Today one of our workers mentioned in passing that she was so frustrated, that, when it comes to social interaction, i.e. dating, her mouth turns to mush and her brain shuts down. I mentioned that I have the same problem, that I can't interact at all with women. She said, "Well, you did it right at least once" and it kind of shut me up. Yes, I'm married. I succeeded in the dating game. How I wanted to tell her that if I could leave my marriage, I would. That if Wife were to OD on all those pain pills of hers, I wouldn't call an ambulance. That it's my social ineptitude and failure in abililty to interact with women that has kept me from having more affairs than I've had. That if she had a whit less moral scruples, I'd make wild monkey-love with her. That winning in the dating game is still not necessarily a good thing. But all I can say is that I find her attractive for who she is, and that she just needs to be herself, and that any guy would be lucky to have her for a girlfriend. Kinda lame, and not the same thing at all.
