on married men

i am no stranger to guys who, in spite of being already married, still cannot help showing, sometimes even expressing, their interest in women other than their wives.



in my case, i always, emphatically, repeatedly, as much as possible politely, bluntly if need be, tell them that i don't have the slightest inclination to get entangled in such affairs.  no way am i going to take away or share someone else's guy.



through the years, i've had amusing, annoying, flattering encounters with married men.



a decade and a half ago, there was this guy who would visit me at the office.  one time when he arrived, i was in front of the computer and i told him, "hey, let's check you out."  i enter his name and out comes his data, showing that he was married.  i blurt out, "you're married?!"



he unconvincingly says something about it being easier to get a visa if you say that you are married, blah, blah, blah.  ha-ha-ha.  do i have stupid stamped on my forehead???



he still shows up at the office twice after that and then no more.



and then there's this other guy who i knew from the start was already married.  we became friends, nothing at all romantic, but every once in a while, he'd try to check out whether i've changed my mind.  the answer, consistently, firmly, has been, no way, jose!



from him, i have these memories:



1.  he was asking for my class schedule.  i wouldn't tell him.



then one time i arrive at school and there he was, seated in front of our building.



i was surprised, how did you know my sched?



guess what?  he didn't.  he was just taking chances.  he said if he positioned himself at the entrance every single day of the week then sooner or later he'd catch me.  oh, my.  that is sweet.



too bad he was married.  he could climb the highest mountain and cross the deepest sea yet no way am i going to be his girl.



2.  he has this line, said jokingly, "anong masama, dalaga ka, lalaki ako."  ->  what's wrong, you're single, i'm male.  yikes!  is that funny or what?!



oh, well... ; )
