Usually I’m fairly decent about seeing when …<\/p>\n
A guy is making a move.<\/p>\n
Either on me or on someone else.<\/p>\n
Or maybe not even making a move,<\/p>\n
But posturing themselves to help preserve their opportunity to make a move …<\/p>\n
At a later time.<\/p>\n
Though Saturday night,<\/p>\n
I totally missed the boat on seeing one such move-type-thing coming,<\/p>\n
Until I had already been suckered into it.<\/p>\n
So in the spirit of sharing my mistakes,<\/p>\n
As to help you avoid making the same ones …<\/p>\n
Here’s how I easily ended up giving a guy my real mobile phone number,<\/p>\n
Without even realizing I did until it was too late.<\/p>\n
Saturday night …<\/p>\n
Baby, Sister-In-Law and mwah went to the local comedy club.<\/p>\n
Now for those of you who have never been to a comedy club before,<\/p>\n
Usually it’s not a good idea to sit stage front …<\/p>\n
As you tend to attract the attention of the comedians.<\/p>\n
Attention meaning becoming a butt of their jokes.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately,<\/p>\n
That’s where we found our seats when we got there,<\/p>\n
And with the first comedian …<\/p>\n
I was the designated butt.<\/p>\n
Nothing bad,<\/p>\n
Really.<\/p>\n
I was the punchline of a “Do the curtains match the carpet?<\/em>” joke,<\/p>\n And a running gag of how I allegedly was always looking at his crotch,<\/p>\n As if hypnotized.<\/p>\n Now being the attention whore that I am …<\/p>\n Of course I loved the attention,<\/p>\n And played along good naturedly.<\/p>\n It was a good night of comedians …<\/p>\n Everyone taking the stage was hilarious.<\/p>\n Very, very good,<\/p>\n Anyways,<\/p>\n After the show I started gabbing with the comedian that was joking about me being hypnotized by his crotch,<\/p>\n And he thanked me for being fun about it.<\/p>\n To commemorate the event,<\/p>\n I took a picture of us.<\/p>\n I know !!!<\/p>\n What a surprise !!!<\/p>\n Me … taking a picture.<\/p>\n Go figure.<\/p>\n Anyways,<\/p>\n He asked to see it,<\/p>\n So I showed him.<\/p>\n It was a good picture …<\/p>\n And he asked me to text it to him.<\/p>\n So I did.<\/p>\n And as soon as I hit SEND …<\/p>\n I realized I was a moron.<\/p>\n Dammit.<\/p>\n He was a good guy and all,<\/p>\n Seemed very nice.<\/p>\n But I totally suspected I was now going to get a call later that night.<\/p>\n Seriously,<\/p>\n What guy really wants a picture texted to him?<\/p>\n No guy does,<\/p>\n He was just feigning the want to capture the digits,<\/p>\n So I thought.<\/p>\n Turns out I was right …<\/p>\n As I received more than one call from him later that night.<\/p>\n But …<\/p>\n I’m a musician groupie,<\/p>\n Not a comedian groupie,<\/p>\n So oddly,<\/p>\n I never heard the phone ring.<\/p>\n Oh well …<\/p>\n Lesson learned.<\/p>\n I hope you don’t fall for the “Oh, text me that picture<\/em>” line unless you want the person to whom you’re sending the picture,<\/p>\n To also have your digits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So in the spirit of sharing my mistakes,<\/p>\n As to help you avoid making the same ones …<\/p>\n Here’s how I easily ended up giving a guy my real mobile phone number,<\/p>\n Without even realizing I did until it was too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[149],"tags":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":149,"label":"Stupid Amy Tricks"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"Amy","author_link":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/author\/amy\/"},"comment_info":30,"category_info":[{"term_id":149,"name":"Stupid Amy Tricks","slug":"stupid-amy-tricks","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":153,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":149,"category_count":1,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Stupid Amy Tricks","category_nicename":"stupid-amy-tricks","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1545"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1545\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amynews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
