LOL, you get the prize for best comment of the day! There's no actual prize, just glory. The woman on the front porch waving the economist reminds me of the military wives on my childhood army base that used to throw themselves at my father by banging on their bathroom windows. Shit, I should write about that....

But I digress. I'm sure men also experience unwelcome advances, and I'm sure it's exhausting always having to do the pursuing. I have 3 men, my children, they're 31, 29 and 27, so I get it. But you sound like a nice guy and I'm sure you get the difference between a friendly hello that leads to a conversation and maybe more and creepy shit, which I'm bitching about. It's the same on your end, crazy lady waving The Economist, flashing you...kinda creepy. And if not, well, odd.
