She caught my eye...

on the morning bus. She definitely fit my type. Dark Hair, check. Classy Dresser, check. Last, but not least. Is there a ring? check. Well at least it was a nice a moment.

At some point in the past few years and without me even fully realizing it. I have began to immediately look at girl's left hand whenever I find myself attracted to a girl.I feel like this social development is an a perfect manifestation of this confusing time we call our mid 20s. Half way out of college*, half way to Adulthood**.I never even noticed I was doing it until it was literally a daily habit.I am sure one day, I will begin assume everyone is married and be more surprised by when someone doesn't have a ring. Maybe this whole ring can be attributed to my entrance into the professional work force where I am more than often surrounded by ring sporting people rather than the single and still looking type. Maybe this subtle change is a harbinger of my own course to maturity and commitment. or maybe it just a defensive mechanism to keep me away from married women.

Literally had this ring conversation with someone yesterday- when did we, as guys, start to pay attention to these things? One year ago today, I never gave her left hand a second thought. Now it's the first thing on my radar. Bizarre. We're getting old my friend...

Seriously, a sign of things to come I guess. As long as we have MOY to keep us young
