How could you tell? Presumably you were either looking at your shoes or hers.
Being the soowahv and deboner fella that I am, I looked her right in the shoulder and said, āHello!ā.

The US border guard asked me to pop the trunk on my rental. I guess he wanted to check out the junk in my trunkā¦

Did you have your pupperz with you??? 
Kind of. The guy was a worker at the kennel and I was picking my dog up.

Some āBig Hearted Entrepreneurā started following me on Instagram. She seems nice.

Iām sure she has a bigā¦heart.
Insignificant because unwanted, otherwise I guess it would be significantā¦
In anticipation of potentially needing to look for work in the not-too-distant future, Iāve been adding anyone & everyone Iāve ever known as a LinkedIn contact, including lots of former classmates.
Added a guy I went to elementary school with and went out on exactly two dates with in high school, the second of which was my homecoming where he promptly ditched me for another girl. Whatever, that was over 30 years ago; Iām over it. I literally have not seen him since that dance. He also sort of knows my Dadā¦ Iāve gotten maybe 3 or 4 messages via my Dad over the last 20 years that he ran into this guy who says āhiā.
Guy sent me a friendly messageā¦ is this twiggy from elementary school? Yep, yep, itās me. Well how am I? Heās impressed by my LinkedIn profile, this is what heās been doing, yadda, yaddaā¦ (engineer, married with two kids)
Iām good, explained about potentially looking for work soon, brief synopsis of life since 11th grade.
Then he apologized for ditching me at the dance, which, fine, no statute of limitations on an apology or anything. Then he gave an in depth analysis of every moment of the dance ā¦ including a pretty precise and accurate description of the dress I was wearing (form fitting dark green velvety material with long sleeves & an open back) andā¦ the stockings I was wearing (black with seams in the back).
I mean, itās weird for a straight man to even remember a girlās stockings from over 30 years ago, right? Let alone bring them up when heās married to someone else.
He also mentioned that he wished there were do-overs and he was an idiot and I was āsmokināā.
Not planning on responding. I have no interest in being the other woman, and that seems well over the line for a married man.
Was this in reference to back then? Today? Or left to be ambiguous?
Back then
ETA: at least thatās how I interpreted it.
Oh yeah, definitely back then.
Kind of sounds like heās having a midlife crisis. A lot of āwhatever happened toā¦ās & āwhat ifā¦ās going through his head. The wise person keeps those thoughts in their head. A foolish person drunk posts them. (I think thatās in Proverbs somewhere.)
Edit: Proverbs 10:19: āWhen words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.ā

Yeah, I mean we know a ton of the same people so there was also the whole ādo you still talk to Kevin? Had you heard that Sally died? Did you know that Mr. Reilly is now the President of [private school]?
But thatās all normal mundane stuff that you expect from a conversation with someone you knew 30-40 years ago.

Hmm, your last two examples were a guy flirting with you when it was unwelcome. Donāt you ever have anyone flirt with you when itās welcome?
ETA: This was supposed to be some old guy putting down his popcorn and wiping his eyes. I have no clue why the link isnāt showing. 
ETA #2: I hope this one works.
Well both of them were marriedā¦ Iām funny like that about fidelity.
