Search Results: who you know or what you know

Ok, so, like , Easter family dinner yesterday was awesome and fun and everything until my evil middle sister called me an oxymoron. 'Cuz , you know, we always put the fun in dysfunction and it's not really a Holiday 'til someone cries. So, anyways, being the totally, mature, responsible adult that I am, I replied by calling her an idiom and stuck out my tongue at her to emphasize her idiomness and then my grade school age nieces threatened to put us both in time out.

But I was left confused as to who should be more scathed by these words-of-wit? I mean, Is it worse to be an oxymoron or an idiom?

Met this guy who is 4-5 years younger.. seems to be attentive and when he talks to me he holds eye contact with me and while talking he asked me “what do you call it?” Like he wanted to make sure he was making sense or something I don't know.. also while talking to others he still slanted himself and looked at me numerous times which made me feel included

Should I reach out to him or do you feel it’s awkward and not appropriate?

Yesterday my mom was in town and we went out to a nice restaurant and our waiter was a nice guy who looks like he’s a tad younger than me but we are in our 20s.. he was very nice and he was a nice looking guy.

He was attentive and he told us some of his favorite things on the menu. He did a good job and maybe in the back of my mind I thought he was cute and maybe said it but didn’t really think anything of it.. just a guy doing his job..

He did make eye contact with me even when just talking to my mom.. He did ask questions and asked how I got here since I’m not from this state.. I told him I was an art teacher and I told him how I stopped teaching in December to pursue something else and he tells me he understands completely and he just changed his major in college… did a 180 from film media to production…

I could tell my mom was up to something.. but the conversation was nice and he said he could give us recommendations for things to do and he tried to see if there were any free art tickets to go to the art museum.

My mom embarrassed me and told him I need to meet people and hang out and she ask him for his number and she says “maybe you have friends you can hook her up with “

It’s awkward for me and I tell him that he doesn’t have to do that or feel obligated to and i apologized… it was kind of a pause maybe because it’s awkward but he does say sure and he writes his number down

But I don’t want to reach out because I don’t know if he really wanted to or felt obligated
