just wear your damned ring

gentlemen,

on behalf of the ladies (particularly the single ones), i'd like to make a small request. if you happen to be married, can you please do us a huge favour and WEAR YOUR FRIGGIN' WEDDING RING?!?!

you know... it really sucks to be sitting there minding my own business and have a charming, fairly good-looking guy like you ask me to have coffee, entertain me with invigorating and intellectually stimulating conversation, and *then* find out *after* i'm somewhat interested that YOU'RE MARRIED!! and that the only reason you asked me out for coffee was because i'm so cool and friendly and interesting and whatever other descriptor you feel like using.

geez.

you know.. i have no problem with becoming friends, but i'd like to know UP FRONT that you're married. there's a huge difference. i'm the same person regardless of whether you're married or single. but it's important for me to know *your* status so that i don't end up liking someone who's not available.

seriously. just wear the ring and life will be so much easier for everyone. k?

thanks,

D
