Dear Bambi, I really have a serious problem. I thought I was moving into an apartment building when I came here. However, it is more like a college dormitory with apartment-like dorm rooms except nobody is stuck with roommates. In a way, that is okay. The problem is privacy. I do not know why there is such a lack of privacy. Nobody ever goes to anyone else's apartment or anything like that. So why does everyone know everyone's business? I am not married so I am still seeking a mate.
My problem is that everyone knows if I am going out on a date. The guy has to come in the lobby and there's usually ten people down there. After the date when he brings me home he naturally brings me into the lobby. If we are going up to my apartment (and what is wrong with that?) everyone knows. People see when he leaves. It is like a fishbowl. I like living here. Why don't people just stay in their apartments and live their own lives instead of hanging out in the lobby and hanging out their windows keeping track of my love life?

Dear Sylvia Searcher, You really do have a dilemma. I suggest you be a little more devious. Start introducing your dates to the crowds in the lobby. However, introduce him as your cousin or your former friendly contractor. Perhaps he could pose as someone who is going to measure for curtains or a custom built piece of furniture. Have fun with this as if it is a game. You will also discover a lot about your dates when you observe how they go along with this.
As to the other tenants who are watching everything you do or don't do remember one thing. They are envious and many (even those who are married) would like to be in your position. In a way you are making their lives richer as they imagine being you. Enjoy it while you can!
Once again, sage advice from Bambi! Now she can return that crazy 😝 outfit! Bob
ReplyDeleteBambi; I’m curious what type of “business”you had to travel out of town for. Regardless; I’m happy you’re back…and am hoping that at some point I’ll have at least one question “of a sexual nature” as you were requesting at Halloween happy hour. (Don’t hold your breath) Welcome Home Bambi❤️MG
ReplyDeleteTo Bob: I do not know what crazy outfit you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteAnd who are you to take about crazy outfits?I saw a picture of you at a luau. Huh!
To MG: The business I traveled for was, of course, talking about human interactions with a wise doctor who is very expert on human interactions, He taught me about many human interactions! I often seek his advice and other things to aid me in my profession. We have also changed the term to questions of an "intimate" nature and do not use the "s" word anymore! I throw hearts right back at you.
