To clarify, I "came close" to picking her up, but didn't. When one of the other store clerks had to go check the price on something I was buying, I had the perfect opportunity to really start chatting her up and move beyond the timid flirtations. All I could muster, however, was smiling back at her. We held eye contact for almost an entire minute before the store clerk came back. On top of the fact that I have a girlfriend (which admittedly tends to slip my mind when being clearly hit on), I tend to become like a deer caught in headlights when a sexy angel locks eyes with me and gives me that undeniably suggestive smile.

It could be that I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Then again, what if it's not and the next time I need to pick up a few screws I end up screwing myself over by "forgetting" I have a partner and asking her out on a date. Thinking before I speak has never been one of my strong suits and I doubt any guy would have an easy time brushing off such an incredibly gorgeous chick. The only solution I can think of is to go to another hardware store - three miles away! It's pretty silly, but I've done much wackier things in the past to avoid an uncomfortable encounter with a woman or potentially cheating in relationships.

Aside from the very obvious problem right in front of me, this run-in with a sexy angel has got me thinking: could I ever cheat on my girlfriend for a brief fling? What if I end up loving her personality and things progress beyond casual sex? She's incredibly good at catching a lie. But most importantly, why am I so interested in another girl who I've never even had a conversation with when I have a gorgeous girlfriend? It's the last question that's really getting under my skin. As my partner and I have started having less and less sex, I can't help but wonder if it's my fault because I'm bored with her (or she's bored with me) or it's a bunch of other factors. When relationships become tedious - especially in terms of sex - and you make an effort to spice things up but fail, is it time to move on despite how much you hurt your partner?
