I know this woman through my work. We've talked several times.....she's German with a heavy accent. Nice looking, but I had no designs on her at all. During our previous conversations she always managed to mention her "husband". I never thought anything about it, other than she wore no wedding ring.
From previous experience, I know many women will claim to be married simply to avoid being hasseled by men.....say in a bar or at a party. "I'm married" can really mean "I'm not interested, don't bother me". Whatever. I've always prefered the truth, but I guess some women think that's the easiest way to say NO.
Well yesterday this woman and I are talking again (I still know virtually nothing about her...no one
else does either), when she up and asks me when I get off work. No mention of a husband this time. What am I supposed to think? I gave her some lame excuse....had to work late, or something. But I left the door open.
Doesn't it make life easier to tell the truth from the start? Why lie? Maybe she does have a husband. Maybe not. It's difficult enough to start a new relationship, and it's more difficult when you don't know the whole truth. Crap......If I ask her straight out, it might piss her off either way. Jeez...
