A Mother's Advice to Young Adult Daughters

You are in your favorite hang-out, enjoying an evening with your girl friends. Good clean fun, sharing stories, laughs and a few bottles of "not-so-softdrinks."  Then, at the corner of your eye you caught a glimpse of an eye-candy son of Adam looking at you.  You slightly tilted your head to meet his gaze.  He smiled and walked towards you.

As he came close enough to make small talk in a noisy public party place he asked, "Hi, can I have your name?"

What do you do? This guy is too good looking to pass up.  You'd be the envy of your peers for having bagged such a catch.  Ladies, before your imagination drifts off to romanceville, please consider some possibilities that mothers have already experienced.   

He asked for your name.  You must think, "What for?"  Darlings, most likely, HE IS GAY.  He asked for your name because he is scouting beautiful young ladies' names to check whether it would suit him.  For example, if he's named Roldan... what would a Danica, or a Daniele, or a Dolly typically look like?   

Let's go back to the scene....  "Hi, can I have your name?", he asked

You answer, "Why, what wrong with your name?"

--oooOooo--

Second possibility is, it's not only your name is wants to have.  

He asked for your name.  You must think, "Is knowing my name the only thing he is interested in?" You have to admit my darlings, that men in bars are not particularly looking for serious relationships.  Men frequent the night scene looking for FUN.  The most important fact that you have to remember and believe in, is that you are a PERSON and not a TOY. 

Now, let go back to the scene, again..... "Hi, can I have your name?"

You answer, "Are you sure it's all you want?"

When you see him change color, it means you saw right through his pathetic modus operandi.  And you, and your friends can just walk away.

P.S.  When you answer his question with, "Yes you can, but you may not."  And he doesn't understand, please walk away.  His I.Q. is so low that it is located somewhere between his waist and knees!

P.P.S.  Yes, I know what your thinking.  What if it was the right man for you and you blew your chance of meeting him?  Don't worry, if both of you are meant to be together, life has a funny way of making a U-turn, and give you another chance to know each other under more favorable and pleasant circumstances.  That's why it's called "Destiny"
