I eat there once or twice a week, and usually go there with my husband, male friends, or my sons. I am now pretty sure she has a crush on me. The first inkling I had about this was when I dined there about a month ago with a male friend of mine. We were having a great time, chatting and laughing, and this same waitress gave us an unexpected 50 percent discount. On the receipt, she had drawn a great big heart with "1/2 off" inside it. I paid the balance of $12.50 and left her a $10 tip. Anyway, now, she winks at me where my husband can't see it. It really doesn't bother me, but I'm not interested in women. I suppose eventually she will figure that out.<br />Helena Fortissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038388794311046455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640340131320723078.post-24913560315365872072014-01-27T15:08:42.825-08:002014-01-27T15:08:42.825-08:00It is interesting that most winking is done toward...It is interesting that most winking is done towards women- none of the other guys who work with me had even noticed until I told them to watch for it. <br /><br />And also haha! Thanks for the warning, I'll be careful to make sure that my wink-receiving smile is only luke warm in the future.

There could be one of two reasons for this: 1) I'm a guy and winking is done only by men toward women. Or 2) because I'm a hermit, I don't have much opportunity to witness winking.<br /><br />Back when winking was more common, it sometimes meant, "I was just joking about what I just said," but was probably more often part of flirting. Speaking as someone who is probably older than your father, I could totally believe that it was misplaced flirting from men older than your father.<br /><br />Again speaking as someone who is probably older than your father, I suspect that your warm wink-receiving smile led the winkers to believe, "hey, maybe my flirting wasn't misplaced after all."<br /><br />You've been warned. Unlike me, not all old farts are up on the flirting political correctness of our time. Or maybe it's not that I'm enlightened. Maybe being a hermit doesn't offer me sufficient opportunities to be a politically incorrect jerk.Joel Klebanoffhttp://parallelcollective.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640340131320723078.post-73276406338488468722014-01-27T14:12:13.021-08:002014-01-27T14:12:13.021-08:00Vanessa, sounds like you stumbled into a time warp...Vanessa, sounds like you stumbled into a time warp of some sort.
