Nerdy Guy

Okay, it wasn't bad at all. I had the nerdiest guy ever. He had hunched over shoulders, was a total computer geek, had glasses, dorky clothes, the whole bit. He came for pains due to anxiety, so I massaged his troubled spots for 45 minutes although he paid for a half hour. I wasn't clock-watching.
After the massage, while in the lobby, I handed him his water, and told him to drink plenty of it to flush out any toxins and the whole 9 yards...yadda yadda. I was handing him pamphlets, business cards, talkig to him about the benefits of alternative medicine, and suddenly I noticed he had googly eyes.

The guy had this nerdy lovey dovey look on his face and I'm like OMG. I needed to get him out of there. So, I opened the lobby door to the parking lot and I said, "Well, it was really awesome working with you. I hope to work with you again. Good luck on your exams and drive safely, okay?" He was standing there staring at me with the same googly eyes, and it was an awkward silence like he wanted to ask me for my phone number or give me a big hug or kiss or something. I slowly closed the door and said, "Good bye." And I saw him walk to his car.

I kind of felt bad...like I hate rejecting people, but really I'm not interested, and if I was single, I still wouldn't have been interested. I just felt sorry for him. It was a bittersweet moment. Poor guy.
