You are a kind and funny person that is all that matters. She would be better off with that if in fact she has had a hard life.
I've noticed over the years (slowly) how poorly socialized I am with women. (Especially if there are men around) Women who try to bat their eyelashes in an attempt to get me to do something they want are severely taxed by my inertness and non observance of their attempts.
I find it funny, it's a little look for me into how hetero men and hetero women interact subconsciously, and how much effort it would take for me to duplicate that behavior would be large and synthetic.
When I was a volunteer for the HIV buddy program, one of my assignments was a 'working' woman. She appreciated my help, but she made it clear that my gayness was profoundly obvious to her just by my lack of response to all those cues and signs things that women do. She otta know, she made her living at it.
And for me to be friends with her would require an open and upfront talk about all things gay. I'm pushing 60, I'm not wanting a 'project' like this.
Damn, am I a segregationist ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
