A young man with light hair approaches the Anti-Cupid, who looks annoyed.

The man continues undeterred while the Anti-Cupid responds dismissively.

MAN: "Too busy for a fantastic guy like me?"

MAN: "I wanted to say you look so damn hot in that outfit!"

ANTI-CUPID: "Sure, thanks."

I used to run into pushy guys like this when I was single. They were annoying. I wanted to say, “I appreciate that you appreciate my attractiveness, however I’m not interested in you.” Some guys used to act like because they thought you were pretty, that somehow meant you should be paying attention to them.
