Showmancing the Stone

Her new play was in it's second week.  Things were just starting to get rolling, and this ended up being the first rehearsal where everyone really started getting to know each other, joking and laughing.

There was only one straight male in the play, and after she was joking around with them, she sensed him watching her.  She stood up more straight and took stock of how crappy she must look in the sweats that she wore to walk the dog.

"Hey.  Penny."  He staged whispered to her as a scene was going on.  "Where is the second director?"

"Her son has a viral infection, she had to stay home with him." She replied in the same stage whisper.

"Ah, well...that is more important, isn't it?"  He seemed to stare in her eyes for longer than seemed needed.

"I suppose so.  Hopefully he gets better soon."

She continued to feel him staring at her throughout the rest of the rehearsal.  She was slightly uncomfortable; not because they were unwanted advances, but because she knew from his Facebook that he'd been in a relationship with a girl for 3 years.  About as long as KSL had been with his girlfriend before they split up.

For a moment she thought to herself "Hey, maybe you can try real hard and see how many long term relationships you can fuck up this year."

Why were men in relationships attracted to her?
