I wasn’t interested in Harley-Davidson or in any of their bikes but still, I was there at the museum with Roger who was mooning over them. He was as enamored with them as I was with him.
His eyes lit up as he looked at each display. He knew everything there was to know about each bike and I listened, seemingly enthralled.
Later, as we sat at a diner having burgers and fries, he said, “Kit, you’re the only girl I know who is as interested in Harleys as I am.”
I sat there, feeling like a total fake.

Notes to Women 
I used to watch my boyfriend check out various machines, which gave me as much enjoyment as his gave him. Does it matter in the long run? I don’t think so.

I guess it matters to her because she isn’t being honest with him. Hopefully, she will come clean and who knows, he might appreciate her for going to all that trouble because she’s crazy about him.

Good luck to both of them.

Poor Kit. I wonder if she ever breaks the sad news to Roger?

I hope she does.

She might want to gently mention that she’s more interested in him than the bikes before she ends up with a rusty Harley-Davidson of her own 🙂

Great suggestion, Draliman. I hope she does exactly that.

This struck home with me. I remember feigning a similar fashion for American football a long time ago. It’s our silver wedding this week – and I haven’t watched a game in all of those 25 years. 🙂

Yes, it could but hopefully, when she’s honest with him, things work out.

Sounds like a dangerous time for her. Will she be honest and start off the relationship with honesty or lies?

She should be honest and their relationship will be off to a good start.

Dear Adele,
Perhaps she can break it to him gently. Hopefully they will find more things in common.

Dear Rochelle,
I think she will tell him the truth and hopefully, things work out and as you said, they find other common interests.
Thanks,

Wow, such an awesome experience! Maybe it’s the tomboy in me lol, but I am also fascinated with motorcycles and love to visit museums every chance I get. Thanks for sharing, oh and ps, you weren’t being a “fake” just supportive of his interest (smile).

Actually, this story isn’t about me. It’s purely fiction but it’s great that you thought it was a chapter out of my life. I’ve never been interested in motorcycles but when I was a girl, I used to like playing with toy guns.
And I like your comment that she was being supportive of his interest but now, she’ll have to be honest with him and tell him that she was more interested in him than in the bikes. Hopefully, he will be thrilled and flattered to hear that.

As the relationship continues, I’m sure, she’ll tell him.
Sometimes, it’s best to wait.
What if she doesn’t like him eventually?
I liked where you took the photo prompt.
Have a safe weekend …

Yes, she will tell him. Probably now because she feels badly about being dishonest. Thanks, Isadora 🙂 Have yourself a safe weekend too.

Adele,
Now she’s done it. She’ll pay for it with all those hours spent researching to keep the sham up! Maybe she’ll end up being more interested than she thought?!
