Men Men Men. Unfortunately they are all wrong

Okay, so I'm in Starbucks on my lunch break sipping on my Caramel Macchiato when I'm instantly drawn to the 6' plus man who just entered. He looks at me for a moment and then goes on to stand in line. I was instantly drawn to this man not because he was overly attractive but because he had the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. It wasn't his eye color but the fact that these were the biggest, brightest, most expressive eyes that I have ever seen. He even had extra long eyelashes to boot. I couldn't help but stare at this man , even to the point that when he glanced at me I didn't even break my stare. Normally I would've looked away or looked down or done something but not this time. I just kept on staring, so much so that he probably felt obligated to join me so when he asked if I minded, I said "Not at all, have a seat." Of course I apologized (as i'm not that blatantly rude) but I just had to tell him that he has lovely eyes. He thanked me and said he isn't used to being stared down by such an attractive woman. Touche'. Anyway, we engage in minor chitchat abour work and interests and then it happened, I lost interest just like that. I know ya'll are wondering what happened and I will tell you, dude took off his hat. That's right, He took off his dayum hat! Will you believe that this man had some of the nappiest hair known to man. I mean so much so that each nap had individualized and separated to the point that I could've counted each one. He literally put the "bead" in bead-dee-beads!!!! On top of that, his hair was so dry that it actually looked dusty, you hear me, DUSTY!! It took everything within me to keep from reaching into my bag and pulling out my moisturizer to hook his head up right there. Now before you stone me, I have nothing against nappy hair, as a matter of fact, I actually prefer that look on females as well as males but dude looked like a brush (not to mention a comb or hair products) hadn't touched his head in forever. I was in awe, I simply told him that I had to get back to work and ended all conversing right there. So what, I'm shallow, sue me. On another note, a co-worker and I have been working at this new spot running an ongoing workshop. We'll be there for another week and a half, My first day there, everyone at that location was extremely nice and friendly. This old dude always speaks to me and I didn't think anything of it. Day before yesterday, he actually joined me while I was walking back from the restroom, I can't remember what he said exactly but I do remember thinking that he is getting a little flirty. Anyway, I get a new partner today and we are in the office talking and old dude comes in and joins in the conversation. We're having a pleasant conversation, talking and laughing when my co-worker decides that he needs to take a smoke break. As soon as he leaves the old guy asks me where my guy is? I'm thinking he is talking about the guy who my new partner replaced so I ask "Who, the guy that was here before?" and he says "No your personal guy." I tell him I have no guy and he says "Why not? You don't need a man," and While I'm responding to that question with no, he has already asked whether or not I like men so of course when he heard my "No," he gets all bug-eyed and said "What... You don't like men, what you like? I said "My NO was in response to your previous question and Yes, I like men just fine." He continues to try to diagnose me and tells me that I must've been hurt extremely bad because after all, Ya'll know that it has got to be unfathomable that a pretty young thang such as myself wouldn't want an old ass geyser like him. Yes, he was semi attractive for his age but I highly doubt that a man that age could do anything for me other than hit me off with a couple of dollars every now and then and then introduce me to his younger, more attractive son. Anyway, My co-worker returns and the old dude stops his flirting and the convo gets back to normal but everytime my coworker left the room (which was a total of three times), two smoke breaks and a phone call) he just had to take it there. He told me that I should cook dinner and invite him over. I told him that I don't cook and am more of a fast food kind of chick, specifically McDonalds (since he mentioned earlier that he doesn't eat fast food and especially McDonalds.) He then says " Oh well, I wouldn't take you out then even if you did say yes, you'll go out with me, (slick bastid) because I don't do fast food. Luckily, my coworker walked back in. The old dude left and conveniently came back when said -worker was again out of the office to ask me what the plan was for the weekend. I told him that I would be running a workshop and then he asked what I was doing after that. I told him I didn't know as of yet, but I'm sure I'll be getting into something and then he asked if I would be thinking of him this weekend and especially tonight, (What the hell?) I said why? He said why not. I really wanted to tell him that not only is he old enough to be My daddy but he is old enough to be my daddy's daddy and he should know better. He said I don't know so I said "Sure, I'll remember you in my prayers this Sunday and he said "Okay, but think of me in your heart too". By this time I'm utterly disgusted. Anyway, he finally decides to carry his old ass on and a few hours later, when we are getting ready to lock up the office, my co-worker said "You know, that guy is really attracted to you" and I asked him what made him think that. He said "I don't know. I just know he is extremely attracted to you" and I, again, asked, "How do you know" and he said "I can just tell." I said "Yeah if you could tell, then why did you keep leaving like that?" I could've kicked his ass. He went over and mocked the old dude and I almost fell out laughing. Anyway, I have about 2 more weeks at that location and I do not want nor need the old dude flirting with me during the rest of that time. I might have to just come right on out and let him know that he is too old for me. I'm trying to be polite about it but I don't know how much more of this, of him, I can take. Lawd help me!

Dear Mimi,

I am contacting you regarding a blog survey I am conducting. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Mass Communication at Penn State and my dissertation project consists of a survey that looks at bloggers’ perceived motivations for and effects of their blogging.

I am sending the survey to a number of bloggers, and I would like to invite you to participate in it as well. Participation should take approximately 15 minutes of your time. I would appreciate it tremendously if you would be willing to take the survey. If you decide to do so, please follow the link below:
