A serious re-examination of my image (perceived or otherwise) is in order, if these conversations I've had are anything to go by.

'How've you been!' An external working partner - a she - called out excitedly when we met after a meeting. It was some 9 months back since we met for this annual project.
'You must be doing good; better than before!' (Chuckles)
'I remember you had a pimple then. Must be the stress!' (Laughs heartily)
Me: What??!! All you remembered was my pimple?!! (Mock Horrified look. Less the Mock, really.)

Tam: Would you date older women? (matter-of-factly tone)
Me: Yes (a little hesistant. Guys need to be careful when thrown such questions)
Tam: You look like you would date older women. (matter-of-factly tone maintained)
Me: Huh? What?!
SX: Er, no, he looks like he would go out with girls of our age.
At least SX thinks otherwise! What, you mean i don't look like sweet young things will want to date me?!

SU (colleague): What's wrong with your hair today? Bad Hair Day? (sniggers)
Me: Hmm. Well - I. Waxed. My. Hair.? (eyes rolling)

There, I said it. I need to re-examine my image. Seriously.

haha, so misunderstood!
it was never about sweet young things not wanting to go out with you; rather, it was about your (perceived) inclination to older women!
in any case, don't worry, you're still the most eligible boy from class! that one, no one can compete. hahahahaha.
I must be sending out wrong signals then! Haha. Such comforting words. The most eligible boy is tying the knots next Jan; another one is devotedly attached - no time even for drinks after dinner once in a blue moon!
