Why you shouldn't stare...

Because somebody might notice

They show, I stare.

Actually, I'm too meek and timid and sensitive to stare.
 
What A Pair Of Hooters!
 
Actually I have to admit I was drawn to that guy's t-shirt first... its very green isn't it??
 
Men are so predictable. :rolleyes: (except for you son, yes, it is a VERY green shirt)

I had a rule to never to go out on a date with a guy that couldn't maintain eye contact with me.
 
He could've made it less obvious.
 
Actually i thought the sunglasses were a decent enough cover but maybe he was wearing them cos of the glowing green...
