I'm not used to being evaluated. This is a completely untrue statement. What I mean to say is that I'm unused to being evaluated in a specific way. The way of meeting friends of the new boyfriend. The way of being looked at crossways and thought about like "Is she going to work out?" Like the new maid or nanny. Is she paying enough attention to him? Is she smart, funny, interesting, controlling, stupid, mean? Does she deserve him? Does she? Is she looking after him? Keeping close to him? Is she socializing appropriately with us? Is she? Is she? Is she?
It's very intense. And un-nerving. And expected. And exactly what I do to new girlfriends of friends of mine. So there. Right back atcha.
Just say Hm again Norton. Just say it.
