Last week, while waiting at the airport for a domestic flight, I pulled out my laptop. I was in my own little world, getting my butt kicked even further at scrabulous, trying unsuccessfully to move up a level on FreeRice, and answering a few emails from a very long time ago (I've been so remiss lately).
Somebody asked if the seat next to me was available and I nodded, not even looking up.
After a few minutes, the same person said, "Wow, you type so fast - do your fingers ever smoke?" I enjoy brief conversations with random strangers, probably because I find people fascinating. I was mildly amused by this comment, so looked up to have a brief conversation. Buddy was an older guy in a pilot's uniform. After a few pleasantries, I turned back to what I was doing.
I wish the story ended there, because for once it would just be a nice story. But of course it doesn't end there. The next thing I knew unknown older guy--who was flying my plane, of course--was asking if I wanted to fly to Europe with him the next day. Say what?
Don't men ever just want to have a pleasant conversation with someone? Does it always have to turn creepy? I just don't get it.

why does it have to be creepy?

Hey, a girl can't help it if she's just all that to the fly boys. But I will say, that was about as subtle as a grenade in a barrel of oatmeal.
Ya know, after the weekend I just had with a guy friend at his bachelor's party, I realize that there really, truly is only one thing on their minds. Some just hide it better than others. Sheesh!
