This is hard to believe and is embarrassing but this is true. Myself and this woman are both in the military. During the deployment, I was eating in the dining hall and I realized I had eaten something not good. Since I couldn't hold it, I tried to silently flatulate. But guess what? She heard it and was upset at what I did. I agreed it was a disgusting thing and I accepted it and apologized for my mistake. She grudgingly accepted my apology. But the next day, she and her girl friends were talking about me heard what I did. So she and her friends came up to me and called me, "Gas Man". Maybe they expected that I riled up about it, but I didn't. Making fun of myself and joking about my own situation, I told them playfully, "You wanna hear it again? You're lucky I don't feel like it." And they just giggled and laughed. The following days, there were more "gas man" jokes by her and her friends and more self-deprecation from me. They've even smacked my bottom! I think a week later, she asked me out if I can see her once we return back to Norfolk. Maybe it's my sense of humor and how I handled the teasing that impressed her, not my fart. You see, she is part of a squadron. She's also definitely cute too although she wears glasses. Since knowing me, she's switched to contact lenses, which makes her even more gorgeous. Although she is not by any means obese, she's even put off about 5 lbs. And then she sees me working out in the gym doing some Muay Thai kickboxing on the heavybag and rolling around practicing jujitsu/self-defense with some people in the outside areas. Didn't even knew she noticed. She likes that because she's got some martial arts training too. That's another +2 on her positives about me. We've been talking to each other for some time now and she even gives me a rubdown on my shoulders and thighs, even at my work area! Wow! Then she tries to get to read Cosmopolitan and other women-related magazines. Nothing against women but I'm trying to maintain my masculinity. I politely said no thanks. She willingly accepted and understood. She then talks about her 3 kids that she is looking forward to seeing again. She even told me that she never had a relationship until after high school and it was with someone whom she recently divorced after about 3 yrs. of marriage. Not wanting to deal with the pressure of having a relationship with a recently divorced woman, 10 yrs. younger than me having 3 kids, I had to politely tell her that I have no interest in a long-term relationship. Why she didn't tell me earlier I don't know. She must be afraid and wanted a new relationship. She even said I made her fall in love again after being depressed about losing her husband. I don't know. I've never dealt with this situation before. I never know when she might fall for him again or it might end up in disaster like her previous marriage. She's been persistant still in calling me and asking me out. I always tell her that there are other men out there than myself that are longing for a relationship just like her and are more capable and mature. She's seen other guys since but she can't keep her mind off of me and would again would call me occassionally (I only gave her my cell # just to be cautious). It's hard for me to get rid of her without hurting her feelings or being rude. She sees me as her only one love of this moment. Any other alternatives? How a flatulation turned into love is a mystery to me. This is wierd!
