Valentines Day Flirt



There were eleven of us in my morning class on line.
The film class was interesting Horror Stereotypes with a heavy biased towards Jamie Lee Curtis
Three of the participants were from the US and one very attractive middle aged man was from New York and was drinking lots of coffee as it was 4.30 am over there.
His name was Richard and he wrote screenplays ( so he told us) 
He had a lovely thick beard, glowing American teeth and academic specs so he looked the part.

He also called out his name in his thick New York brougue ( before anyone else could when asked if we could introduce ourselves ) and added a rather friendly and flirtatious 

And who is that big handsome charmer on the love seat  John Gray?” 

I was flummoxed for a second as I had my second best Herbivore T shirt on as well as a cheap Sainsbury’s green hoodie and hadn’t even washed my face, but I started to preen at the potential prospect of an early morning Valentine’s Day flirt

Then I realised that the American was in fact referring  to Dorothy who was sat on the sofa behind me

  2. Happy Valentine's Day, John! I think you are really cute and I enjoy your blog so much. Don't think you realize how much good you do by being you - mostly because some of us "lurk" instead of writing.

  4. It's closer to flirtation than I got, even though I went out shopping for the first time in years. Unless you can call the greeting I received off one of my youngest nephew's college friends a flirtation. Lucky bastard x

      Wasn't that W.C. Fields that said that?

    2. My favourite quote of his was
      “ I never drink water, fish fuck in it”

    3. My favourite Fields fable: When asked if he liked children, the great man replied, "Depends on the recipe."

  12. That might have been code John to indicate interest in you... dogs are always a good segue to further 'chat'.

      It’s nice to see a self effacing and lightweight post which isn’t spoilt by the odd negative and pointlessly arch comments

    2. Yes apparently some critics say it’s been sanitized
      I agree, but only in a good way , I’ve never been attracted to those who want to pull down others

  21. Dorothy's complement from NY made me laugh. For all we know, this might be the start of new friendship for you. Dogs have been known to bring people together.

    Upstaged, as ever. This is what dogs are for, to keep us occupied and our inferiority complexes stoked. On the other hand......? Just keep us updated. That is all I will say.

  30. well. *I* think that was a flirt with you nonetheless :) P.S. this is Sous Gal. I'm retired from the profession. Now. It's personal :)

  31. Once Diva Dorothy gets someone on the hook, she will reel them right in to you! Perhaps you could do your own version of 'Must Love Dogs'. Happy Valentine's Day, John!

  32. Ha ha. He was probably just too shy to admit he was referring to YOU.

  33. Dorothy has a new admirer!
