Dating and the Miranda warning..

Soon after I arrived at work, a San Jose police officer walked into the store. She was cute, a bit short, but fun. We joked a bit while one of the managers checked on some backstocked furniture for her. I got back to my register, and began helping a customer.

Evidently while my back was turned, said law enforcement officer checked out my ass and said "I wouldn't mind frisking him."

*sigh*

Why don't women tell me these things to my face? It would help things immensely! A cute woman with hand-to-hand training and easy access to handcuffs? Heaven!

Probably the same reason you didn't tell her she was cute.

Cute Cops are interesting sub fetish. ;)

Handcuffs are more a weapon than a decent fetish object.

To the person who asked what you could cuff an adult to that wouldn't break, may I suggest the headboard of an antique bed, an eyebolt set in the rafters, a light post (if you do the exhibition thing), a stairwell banister . . . but better yet, tell him that if he tries to break it, you'll stop. That almost always works.

As for "not on company time" factor, the accepted way to handle this is to come up with a polite social excuse to get the other person's number. Done adroitly this can be quite casual and appropriate. If the person doesn't return your interest, no number and no problem.

(The rumor that a female police officer might give out "911" as her phone number is not true. There are crazy people who would take that literally, and she doesn't want to have to deal with the resulting complaints from Dispatch.)
