We brush asparagus with olive oil. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and grill. Very simple and delicious!

The email thing totally made me laugh, because a while ago, a bunch of us were out on the town, and one of my friends -bless him – is a a sweetheart, but not always best with the ladies. He seemed to be actually doing well with this girl, and was hanging her a pen and a napkin (Odd in this world, where everyone seems to just whip out their cell phones), and she gave him this weird look and wrote something down. I asked him what was up when he came back, and he, so estatic, said “I got her 3-dub!” *3-dub meaning www, so he got her email* No wonder the weird look, prob the first time someone asked for an email, and not a #! Keep up the stories – loving them!

until you have 2-3 phone numbers of emails Now what the heck does one get a phone number of emails? [Ed. Note: looks like a typo in one of the comments. I just fixed it to say 'or'. Else, you're right - pretty funny, makes no sense!]

The BF got an asparagus salad at a restaurant once…and didn’t eat any of the asparagus because he’d never had it before, didn’t know how to eat it, and was too embarrassed to ask (we were out to dinner with a bunch of people). He ate around it! I thought he wasn’t hungry, but then he asked for food on the way home. Poor guy!

SingleWorkingMommy – I liked the shorthand like ‘cree.pee’, ‘k’, and ‘bai’. As someone who has exchanged emails with agents and editors, I can say they are the least formal professional group I have ever interacted with. It’s not uncommon for them to throw capitalization and punctuation out the door when writing an electronic correspondence.

Lance – thanks for the male support. I love your suggestion of approaching and acknoweldging the fun they’re having. I think women would be shocked if they really knew what men think about. Like I said in my other post, I’m glad to elicit strong reactions. It means I’m connecting on some emotional level. For a writer, that’s a good thing.

Lollie – rest assured it was one cocktail before eating. Once I had dinner, I was totally fine to drive home. So, no irresponsibility. As for the cree.pee factor, see Lance’s comment.

I did the leetspeak because it’s funny–and I was trying to inject some humor. So Dad’s House didn’t think I was a big ol’ jerk. Because he seems like a genuinely nice person, just he creeps me out sometimes. And I think it’s mostly because of my own personal hangups… not anything he’s doing. Maybe.

Hey, just read this piece. Wow, I’m not sure where to even begin. Since we have such different audiences, I’ll take it easy on this one.

DM saw some hot chicks at a restaurant and he was acknowledging their attraction AND his masculinity. Nothing more. What’s wrong about that? Why is that creepy? Uh, it’s not. In fact, I would encourage him to push it further and talk about the ACTUAL fantasies he was having, which probably involved a lot of x-rated stuff. Dude, we all have fantasies, and we all love sex. Seriously, do any of readers here deny that?

DM, next time you’re in that situation, this is what you do. Walk up to them with a big smile and say, “Hey ladies, you look like you were having SO MUCH fun, I had say hello.” I guarantee you’ll be a big hit. Don’t leave until you have 2-3 phone numbers or emails.

@singleworkingmommy: If you’re an editor, why the heck are you using leetspeak like “cree.pee,” “K,” and “Bai”?? You should know better than that.
