i'm engaged!

well ... not really. {g} i recently moved to a high rise and this guy in my building asked me several times where i lived. i told him what floor but he repeatedly asked, "what apartment". i repeated the floor number. i think he realized that i was feeling uncomfortable giving out the information and said he was sorry. i nervously smiled and walked away.

there's not much i could do right? i couldn't think of anything else to say. i'm not quick on my feet and really didn't expect that to happen. living alone can be scary at times. when i moved in, i joked that even though my building is secure (it's a little more secure than my last building but my last building was 1/8 of the size and filled with couples/families), the "crazies" might be already IN the building. =P i guess it's not so funny anymore.

it could have been an honest mistake because i think he was from another country and maybe he didn't know any better. just to be safe, i started wearing my mom's old wedding ring/band from her 1st marriage to my dad. i'll probably just wear the band because i don't want to be responsible for the ring. (the band should be enough right?) hopefully if he sees me again, he'll think i'm taken or that i live with my fiance. unfortunately all the other single men will think that too. :( oh well. i know it's better safe then sorry so i'll keep wearing it for a while. hopefully i won't get too attached to seeing a ring there because it might be a while until the real deal comes along.
