Weird. When I was 16 I met this girl at school who chatted me up one day. She flirtatiously asked "Will I see you at the staff meeting later?" I said "No, I'm a student." She turned beet red & ran off and we spent the rest of the school year avoiding eye contact BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE, CREEPO!
