Married folks how do you handle when others flirt with you? What about when they ask you out? Or when the opposite sex puts their arm around you, pats or rubs your back.

I often take my wedding ring off at work while doing procdures (blood and diamonds don't go together :oops: )and forgot to put my ring back on. Although I am a chunky girl, I still get asked out and flirted with. I usually say "my husband don't let me date" and slip my ring back on. and walk away.

The other thing is I work with a bunch of touchy people. The men and some women I work with will come up give you a hug, rub your shoulders and even put their arm around you. It is all in a friendly manner, and they do it to all the ladies and men. I just want to crawl away cause i don't want to be hugged, but I don't want to appear cold and callus, so I inch away in a nonconfrontional manner.

i laugh cause I work in Chicago where it is "suppose" to be rude unfriendly, but it really is friendlier then what people would think.

That is one of the best [b]"come-back one-liners"[/b] I've ever seen.

Being [b]old, fat, bald, and ugly [/b]I don't have that problem. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have never had this problem at work. I did have a woman start a conversation with me when I was on a business trip. As soon as I told her I was a Pastor, married to a wonderful wife, and had two great children, she got up and walked away.

even if they know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour you can still talk with them about the Lord and talk about scripture.

If they are Catholic Christians maybe you could ask them if they believe that Jesus blood alone was enough for them to enter heaven or do they have to be a member of the Catholic church to go to heaven?


Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Simply say " I do not appreciate you touching me, so DO NOT do it again" seems to me that would solve the problem unless there is someting missing upstairs. Sometimes we all have to stand up and speak up. Rudeness SHOULD NOT rule especially when it comes to the sanctity of marriage.We can all do and say all things for and in the honor of our God. :D :) :idea:

pneu-engine. I have been "hit" on more since I became old, fat and ugly than when I was young, skinny and ugly.

One preacher put it, "I maybe old, fat and ugly but to some woman out there I am a knight in shining armor."

When you least expect it someone will say or do things that will warp your head no matter what "shape" you are in.

One of the sayings back in the '60's but I still hear is "8-80, blind crippled or crazy it's all the same."

That is very sad but true. We hear about child molesters but there are folks that have a fetish for fat folks, one legged or one armed wmen and people over 70. In fact, I read somewhere that the mumber of women prostitutes over the age of 65 is growing. I reckon fixed incomes create new pressures at that point plus at that age there is no fear of pregancy and if you get a terminal disease that will kill you in 10 years, so what you may not have that long anyway.

Some of the biggest and plain spoken "hits" I have ever had gotten have been in nursing homes. With the advent of Viagra I can't even imagine what goes on and this is from the generation that never talked about sex openly and when even the word virgin could not be said on TV. Now that there aren't any virgins on TV imagine what the workers will have to endure when the hippie generation is in the nursing home aka commune!!!!!

Hehehehheheehhe, my [b]stopper[/b] is usually when I begin my [color=darkred][i][b]"tech-speak"[/b][/i][/color]. I can really get intense and passionate about efficiency ratings, horsepower, metallurgical characteristics, etc, and the minute I begin rattling on about an invention, they just walk away, and then I have to smile. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
