From Sex and the City:
Charlotte: He should’ve mentioned her earlier.
Samantha: But not too early. I hate it when men do that. “I have a girlfriend.” Calm down, I just asked if that seat was taken!

I’ve never really had the case where a man will randomly spout out that they have a girlfriend, but i did come across a strange encounter the other day. it was so weird that i had to put it out there. during one of the many interviews i’ve been conducting in the past two weeks, this guy kept tossing out the fact that he had a girlfriend.

now don’t get me wrong: once or twice would have been fine, especially if in those instances, she had something to do with the question that was being asked. but he just kept referring to his girlfriend OVER and OVERRRR during the interview at random moments, so much so that i had to take a step back (mentally) and wonder if i was sending him some kind of weird, screaming message that i was interested without even knowing it. i totally wasn’t doing anything much besides sitting there like a sleep-deprived zombie (hey, it was 8am in the morning and i had a late class the night before!!), but couldn’t help wondering if he thought i was interested because of the way he was acting. maybe he mistook my zombified stare for a look of longing and adoration?

and it wasn’t like it was just me who was in the interview! there was another man interviewing with me, as well, so i was doing a lot of casual observing and note-taking, but not a lot of talking. after the interview, the other interviewer said “he’s a smooth card, eh?” and then i REALLY began to wonder if i was subconsciously drooling and not even realizing it…but then he mentioned the fact that the guy brought up his girlfriend A LOT, and how it was kind of unnecessary…and i felt a little better about it all. it wasn’t just me who thought the gf talk was a little excessive. and besides, who brings up their girlfriend (mulllltiple times) in an INTERVIEW?? Isn’t the whole point of an interview to sell yourself?

maybe i’m just a hater because i don’t have some guy out there randomly bringing me up (excessively) during interviews
