You work at the check out desk at a library in Dartmouth. I stop in every Tuesday night on my way home from work just to see you smile. You have perfect red hair and freckles. I think you are so cute. I am way too nervous to talk to you, but I hope you notice me. —A Guy Can Dream

  2. do they like soul music because it’s so foreign to them?

    are they required to only wear flip flops because soles on shoes count and they aren’t to have any?

    are they allowed to grow soul patches?

  3. You’ve now declared to this freckled red head that you are stocking her…….. It puts the lotion on it’s skin or else it gets the hose again…..
    I should hope for your case she does not read this and you muster up the courage to at least say hi and start from there. And for gawd sake stop creeping this woman.

  6. Pssst…hrmet….it’s a moot point now, I realize but it’s “stalking” …unless of course you actually meant “stocking” and then I just get a visual of some dude randomly hitting this girl in the head with a pricing gun and sticking her on a shelf or in a pantry, or stuffing a wool sock in her mouth (shit, I’ve said too much) “Carry on, nothing to see here” …either way…stocking/stalking is wrong.

  9. Don’t listen to these guys, Guy! Sheesh! Not everything is creepy. Talk to her! Either she’ll feel the same or be flattered but decline. What’s the harm!
