I was walking today in a Gourmet Supermarket, and wanted to rush before the snow storm released all its fury on the valley. As I was in hurry to get all the items for the house, an awkward situation happened to me which really got me thinking how many fuses were burnt in my brain.
As I went to pick up some fruits, vegetables, an older lady (yes, you could say she's my Mama's age - my mama is still in her forties according to me) passed by.
Instead of smiling and let her pass respectfully, I winked at her and gave her a mischevious smile, she must have thought I was either a weirdo or she was flattered, as her face was red but with a smirk on it.
So here's my problem; I have zero romantic / sexual interests for this person, and nothing left to prove. Yet somehow this instinct came up out of no where.
I decided to dig a little deeper into the old childhood and see if we can find answers:
- Where we segregated as children that I am not used to seeing women ? No
- Is this a new culture that I am not familiar with ? No
- Am I that desparate, that we're heading to the super market ? No, No
- Would my future wife be proud of my "gentlemanly behavior" absolutely No
Ok, since we have a 100% No answer, what is it that causes these outbursts ?
Have I been eating well ? Yes
Taking Vitamins ? Yes
Sleeping well ? More or less ?
It finally dawned upon me, I think my genetic heritage has one two many "I am attracted" to the opposite gender" genes.
Oh Great ! I am thinking about starting a family and we have a defective/hyper active Gene. This couldn't have come at a better time :(
I cannot hide my animal instincts, but I will not get my self into trouble. Please Please if you see me in the store, help me focus, yes FOCUS on the task at hand. Otherwise, I am going to buy a nice prayer bead - oh, that's what they're really for !!
Do you think I have Attention Deficit Disorder ? I'd better go back to the store and find out.
Maybe not, I'd better go write another chapter, before I get into trouble, or pray in as many faiths I can remember....
Our Lord in Heaven......Lead us Not unto Temptation.
I'd better confess to my future wife, I have "issues" but still manage to stay Loyal !

I am sincerely flattered by the time taken by members of the opposite gender to share with me their utter disgust & disrespect in my style and the thoughts that went into this piece. Unfortunately, I've had to delete some comments that were in poor taste as well as hateful.
For all the others, Thank you !
Good the lady didn't get you into trouble or something! I believe you should have to control your genetics more!
I won't stay with a guy who can't control himself, if I may say that, even if he stayed loyal :)
I don't care, things will be bizarre, I guess…
Samantha; I think it was more along the lines of flirtatious embarassment between us. You're correct, as I wouldn't ever do that while I'm with someone, ahhh the virtues of being single.
LOL, i find this very humourous. Perhaps it has nothing to do with your genes or your ability to be faithful, but more with your innate desire to "get a reaction" from people. To all the "outraged" girls: It's true "cheating" starts in the heart, but if you can prevent yourself from actually commiting the act, you have won the battle.
lol I think I missed all the excitement here but you know what, I don't think it's a flaw, maybe it was some innate reaction. Maybe somehow you knew, but didn't know, that that lady needed a "pick me up" does that make sense? lol sorry it made me laugh. It reminds me of a few occassions in my own life that this has happened. Yikes, at the time I thought "what the heck" but now I look back and just laugh and think how funny it was. It's not disrespectful or cheating to wink at someone. It's not like you "wanted" her or had impure thoughts.. it was more of a joke or teasing I'm suspecting. Or maybe a way to just have a little fun. As in "no one was harmed" so who cares. She probably went home and told all her neighbor ladies about the "boy" at the market who "came onto her" or "threw himself at her" lol you know how stories spread and rumors start -- yea simple little actions get totally blown out of proporation.
My thought - You probably made her day. As for a genetic defect - You're a man, men have this natural ability to flirt and joke with women, you can try to supress it all you want but it isn't going to happen. I'm not sure of your nationality or where you're living but I don't think there's anything wrong with you. Maybe society or culture views it as taboo, but as a human - you're 100% normal. Would your future wife care? I don't know about her, but if it were me I'd have a good laugh about it with you :) You should always choose a wife that has a sense of humor. Seriously :) Now stop flirting with my mom! *smile* BTW, the oldest guy who has hit on me was almost 80, he asked me to marry him and wanted to have children - my daughters were with me, they are now 15 & 8, but at the time they were like 12 & 5 and oh my gosh when I finally got away we laughed and laughed, and still to this day they tell me, "Hey mom, when you gonna marry that old guy? You know he's rich Mom and you're poor, and he isn't THAT old!" Needless to say they love to taunt me with stories like this and we just laugh. So, I bet the lady is laughing. :)
Don't get paranoid over this .. I found it to be very funny .. and if i was your wife .. I would just brush it off with a laugh as long as it is so spontaneous and with no bad intentions .. remember that your wife would know you better than anyone else and she would know if you did it because you have bad intentions or because it just happened ...
Flirting is a part of being human .. even women are flirtatious but they tend to be more conservative when they are committed to someone .. so what happened is completely understandable .. I would let it go .. and so should you .. it's not a big deal
Thank God for ladies that are emotionally mature and have a sense of humour as you realize that the whole piece was written in humour
....Yes, you've figured it out that sometimes you can make someone smile on the inside with a harmless flirt !
hahahahaha ...its really funny!
This is the third time i read this post and i am very sorry to tell u that i cant stop laughing :))
I really find it very humourous!
I believe that you cant find a reason for every thing u do .. sometimes i do things and i feel stupid and i ask myself "what did i do??!!!" and ofcourse there is no answer! do u remember Ally McBeal? she reminds me of myself when she does stupid things :P
