After our game was over, Lila came to our locker room to tell me about her "friend" who wanted to meet me. I was a bit annoyed that she went so far, but after she ushered me to where he sat and a few wolf whistles from the rest of his friends, I decided she had done her work well. He was what we called a hunk, indeed. I sat down in front of him with Lila and we chatted a while with my sister egging us on. About that time, some of my teammates spotted the group and almost flogged the guys, I just got up and walked away thinking it was a lost cause. The girls flirted shamelessly with the guys to the point I thought they looked just less than aggressive hookers. Lila stood her ground and guarded her/my "man" that she had chosen for me. I sat on the other side of the Gym with my best friend. It was not long until she came to where I was sitting and told me Bill wanted her to ask me if I would consider dating him. I sent word back that I would consider it. He approached me later and asked for a date later in the week. I accepted. At school the next morning, two of the most aggressive of the girls asked me what I did to get him to ask me instead of them. They both said they flirted with him to no avail so they had to take his left over friends. I was honest when I told them I did nothing except to talk to him to get his attention, but by me walking away, I am sure that made me more enticing. One must remember back then our suits did not cover as much as girls ball suits do now, so he got a good look as to what I was made of ;-) I dated Bill a few times and went back to an old boyfriend. I felt badly when someone told me that "I broke his heart" |
