Do Not Make Eye Contact

Do not make eye contact my new boyfriend warned me.
I knew immediately which waitress his mother was.
She’s the one staring this way with a huge grin, I guessed with glee.
She sat down and entertained us with a happy buzz.

If you wait and put in your order in fifteen minutes, honey.
I can sit with you and get to know your guest, his mama said.
Let’s wait! I suggested. His mother was so incredibly sunny!
To this day, we are great friends, even though to another he is wed.

He might not have relished your proposal to her to be with them for some more time. It must have definitely put him in an embarrassing situation !

Isn’t that great when you have a wonderful connection. My ex mother in law and I were always the best of friends, more like mother and daughter up until when she passed away. I enjoyed your sweet poem Caren. Blessings xxoo

Hello Caren, well at least you made a new friend. Why did he not want you to make contact with his mom? Just wondering. Hugs.

They always want all of your ATTENTION - like four year old boys - when they are out on a date.

Why are they afraid for you to know where they come from? They must face the music sooner or later.

He did not want to share me.

Loved it, Caren. I'm wondering why he took you to that particular restaurant if he didn't want you to make eye contact with his mother. Strange! Glad you kept up with her.

It is total fiction, the point is that on a date it seems like the other person wants ALL of your ATTENTION, so I failed to make the point I had hoped to make here.

Apparently his clouds showed latter on into the relationship. Perfectly delightful. Enjoyed the read very much. Thank you, Karen.
