So ya out by yourself tonight?

Sometimes I really hate this question. Like its not acceptable for a single lady to go out alone. 

"No my imaginary hot wonderful boy toy just went to shake hands with the governor. You just missed him."

It wouldn't be so bad if that question lead to real conversation. Like dude is double checking he's not going to get a head bashing flirting with someone who light be taken. Or if it lead to something besides "why?"!!!

Because I haven't met a man that has enough balls to approach me with a decent conversation starter and that can keep up with me.
