Default Giving chicks rides

Last fri evening stopped at a local watering hole for a break. OL is out of town so I'm solo. Lady starts talking to me, maybe hitting on me, my radar for such things is not too reliable. Of course she sees I'm riding and says she loves rides on Harley's. So I said hell, I'll give you a ride if you want. Didn't think anything of it until later in the conversation she finds out I'm spoken for and is almost appalled that I offered her a ride. Says it's not right to give other ladies rides if I'm 'in a relationship'. Damn I didn't know that was in the instruction manual!

Too many assumptions here; she assumed you were single, you assumed it was no big deal. When you assume, well, you know the rest.......

The last line pretty much sums it up!

Not to worry, it softens leather.

Since I've been "taken", I haven't been asked to give a ride. But even if it ever comes up, I doubt I will. It saves from explaining why I did that to my wife, when I doubt she'd be okay with it.
