Twenty-three

As I was walking out of the salon to go to the bank, I saw a guy looking around like he was lost, so I asked him what he needed.  He sincerely asked, “Wow, why are you being so helpful?  I’m just looking for a place to do yoga.”  I told him about a nearby yoga place, and answered his question about my helpfulness with the obvious answer, “Probably because I just had a handful of M&Ms or maybe because I’m from the Midwest.” When I asked him what else he needed to know, he said he was on his way to find a cup of coffee.  I suggested a place for him to get one and then joked about how I was his officially his neighborhood tour guide.  Obviously, I followed all this up with pointing down the street and saying, “And the restaurant on the corner is where we can go for dinner tomorrow night.”

Twenty-three said he liked my style, but unfortunately he was a tourist rather than just new to the neighborhood and was leaving town the next day.  Clearly in addition to needing men to wear IDs stating their age and relationship status, I also need them to add their current town to that ID.
