I have an open house policy for Thanksgiving. Everyone knows that they can bring whomever they please. So, a random guy of maybe around 50 was a guest of a guest at my home this year.

He talked at me A LOT and there was a single topic. His divorce, of three years ago, and all the ways his ex was the definition of evil.

I walked from room to room, kept dinner going, etc. I was not rude but nor did I pretend to be interested. The list of her evils kept going.

He never asked anything about me. He did not say thank you when he left. None of this bothered me much because holidays are a tough time for anyone dealing with loss. But….

Today, he called me. He felt that we had such a great connection and asked me if we could go out for drinks!

I do not flirt. I do not drink. I do not go places with people who I only know by there first name. And more to the point…..

What connection?
