Has anyone ever come up to you and say something and you feel it’s the corniest, lamest thing ever said? I know I have been on both the giving and receiving side of corniest. Do we mean to be corny? I don’t think so. Sometimes it just comes out that way. For instance, there is this guy at my job who makes it very clear that he is interested in me. The nasty feet looker. Though I have told him that he needs to back it up and keep it in the friend zone he keeps throwing himself in front of the bus. I have clearly stated that it will never happen in those exact words. There is a point to this.
The other day I was walking up the block to work. We never see each other because he is supposed to get to work before me. This particular day he was late. So we get to the door at the same time and we start chatting. Later in the day he sends me a text that says, “I would be late a million times just to see you walk up the block once more.” Are you serious? CORNY!!! I know some of you are probably back on why this guy has my number but everyone has my number so that’s irrelevant. It was such a corny statement and sounded like a line. It literally made me nauseous. Who says once more? Dude you’re from Brooklyn. You’re not flipping Shakespeare. You don’t talk like that. You wear Tims and a hat with the sticker on it to work. Give me a break.
So this brought me to the idea of corny. Now was what he said corny because it just was or because I have no interest in him romantically? I think it’s the latter. If someone that I was really interested in said something like that I would probably think it was so sweet and call my friends. But because this knucklehead said it I’m ready to dismiss it. I believe much like common sense, corny is relative to your experience and frame of reference.
Sidenote…If I go to one more audition and someone tells me I remind them of Ciara I may inflict harm on them. Don’t get me wrong Ciara is beautiful but we don’t look alike. I don’t even think we dance alike. Why can’t I just look like Dez?
