Willing to accept stalkers? Way to take all the fun out of it...
I'll play scared!

I'll even look out my window suspiciously and tighten the blinds.
Okay, I'll roll this story just because I'm avoiding doing real work for a second. I started talking to this one girl, we'll call T. T's a pretty hot number, slender and top heavy if you catch my meaning. Turns out, she once ran for one of the prelim Miss America contests in Burien, WA....ie the Miss Burien contest (I guess, I didn't research it lol). She also had been a volunteer for the organization for about 6 years. She lives in Burien, and as I soon found out...had a LOT of Burien pride. Side note - Burien's really nothing impressive...kinda borders Seattle, but I've never heard anyone say "Hey guys, screw Tacoma/Seattle, let's go hang in Burien!!"
We go out for coffee, great time, great conversation...a lot in common. She mentioned she hadn't seen the Punisher before (movie) and I told her that was my favorite movie, so I invited her over to check it out one night. She comes by, things get a little hot and heavy but I felt like she might regret something if we went all the way, so I told her we should slow it down a bit. No biggie, I just don't lay girls if I get the impression they might not be completely comfortable afterwards. We have a great rest of the night, make plans for the next Friday. The day after all this, I went on a ride-along with my best buddy that's a cop. Turns out his district is the White Center district, which borders the Burien district. I guess White Center is kind of ghetto...rough area.
Date night, I end up meeting her in a place that my buddy and I had stopped to grab a drink when doing the ride-along. I casually make a comment "Hey, my buddy works in this area...the White Center district I think." She gives me this pissy look and says "This is Burien, NOT White Center." So I'm like "Okay, I don't know the area, just saying we went to that spot over there when I was doing the cop thing...sorry if I offended you". I figured that was the end of it, but she was sorta quiet the whole night, almost distant. Date ends fairly early, she says she'll call me this weekend.
Monday, I get an email (no call during the weekend) saying what's up and asking how my weekend was. I tell her "Hey, there's some kind of weird tension going on here...is everything cool?" She responds with "Well, I was just really offended by some things you said Friday night." I don't like offending people, so I ask her what was up...what'd I say that offended her. She rolls back with "Just that you called that area White Center...it's not, it's Burien and I live really close to there. I competed for Miss Burien and work with that organization...that area is NOT White Center." I had a serious WTF look on my face, so I just responded "Hey, sorry if I offended you, it wasn't intentional or meant to mean some huge deal. I was just saying I stopped at that spot when I was with my buddy working White Center, nothing more...nothing less." She then comes back with "We have a lot in common, more than anyone I've ever met...but I don't think this will work out." At that point, I just said "

ou're very right on that, take care."
Tuesday, she emails me back "Not be beat a dead horse, but here's an email from my friend that is a Burien cop." Email details the physical boundaries of the White Center vs Burien police districts and she circled the area we were in. Then she follows up with "I just wanted to make sure you knew that area is BURIEN, NOT WHITE CENTER." After that I quit being nice lol.
So apparently I've been "dumped" over calling an area the wrong city...lol
