Okay, a little story that pretty much sums up my entire life.
So, I'm in Vegas one day for vacation, happen to play pai gow poker. The dealer turns out to be a very attractive and talkative asian gal. So we banter for several hours, but eventually, I need to leave to catch my flight home. So I ask her for her #. She just laughs. Then I offer her my #, and she says, "Next time I see you."
Well it so happens, I'm in Vegas again about 4 months later, and I see her again. So this time, she's dealing blackjack, we're chatting, and she mentions that her birthday had recently passed.
"Oh, happy belated! May I take you out to dinner then?"
I happen to be the only player on her table, so in the middle of her deal, she leans slightly forward and says, "You know you're not good looking, right?"
Um, ouch, well, I really can't argue that fact, so I just shrug and give a little 'um yeah' nod.
But she's not done, oh no "In fact, you're a little bit ugly". I don't know what stunned me more; that comment, or that she made the comment as she drew a 5 card 21 with a 3 showing, and I just lost $200 (split 8's and doubled down on both). I don't think I've been this hurt since I asked a girl out at a frat party, and she laughed so hard she vomited on me.
Anyway, that should've been the end of it, but she felt guilty because of the double whammey and asked me for my phone #...
