I had a very odd conversation with a stripper recently. I had just entered the club and taken a seat as she was getting off the stage. She seemed to be in a hurry to join me.
Ordinarily I prefer not to be approached immediately after arrival in a club. I like to have a few minutes to take in the scenery and begin what I like to call “natural selection.” But in this case I didn’t mind at all because the dancer was an exceptionally attractive young woman, about mid-20s, petite in height and build with a dazzling smile and blonde curls.
She more or less jumped into my lap, gave me a wet kiss and said, “I missed you!”
This put my hustle detection apparatus on high alert. I didn’t recall ever seeing her before and I had certainly never spoken to her before. The idea that I had ever done ANYTHING with her to warrant the “I missed you” comment was completely out of the question.
The look of total confusion on my face only seemed to annoy her.
“Don’t pretend you don’t remember!”
I remained quiet, wondering if a punchline would ensue. But there was none.
“Dammit, Dave! Don’t do this to me!”
“Dave? Who is Dave?”
She became very irritable and said, “If you don’t want my company today all you have to do is say so!”
I explained that I would love to have her company but insisted that she was confusing me with someone else because my name isn’t Dave and I’d never met her before.
She didn’t believe me, at least not at first. But after a while, the sincerity of my denials seem to win her over and she conceded the possibility that she was mistaken.
But she kept going back to the story of how she and I had agreed to meet OTC on two prior occasions and had a marvelous times. She filled in all the details of what hotels we stayed at, where we had dinner and all the naughty things we did.
She clearly did have a memorable experience with someone else who she had me confused with.
Definitely wasn’t me.
Too bad.
Sounded like I missed out on a fabulous time.
Or it could just be a very elaborate hustle or her part LOL - but I doubt a dancer would go thru that much trouble but then again ...
