Well, as well as being confident, those ladies can also be pretty substantial flirts and there is a good chance she was noting your interest and winding you up. This comes from growing up around Québequois men, often not the most subtle of rogues...

(Which technically, I suppose I am, being born in Montréal...ah, c'est la vie monsieur!)

You have GOT to carry some of your business cards at all times. That way at least youcan give the lady the card if there is interferance, and if she is interested ,she will call you later. As you hand her the card ask her to call you for lunch,your treat. Just a thuoght.

That's the other side of my thinking -- that she had a guy there, weak looking though he was, who was closer to her age and who she has a lot more invested in. Could be she wanted to light a fire under him by having him see an older guy, a guy who whoop him with one arm, make time with his lady.

The guy looked oblivious. Damned if I know what she saw in him.

I tell you though, when she first spied me the next day, she shot me sort of an angry look like I dropped the ball and she wasn't happy about it.

Dang.

That's a thought, I had some in my wallet with my e-mail address on 'em. Funny thing though, I never saw her anywhere other than the pools. It doesn't seem to be a good place to meet ladies, in my experience.

I'm a Quebecker (although not a Francophone) having been born there. The more the merrier.
