A hiking buddy from a while back

[Carb0nBased 647]

While reading and responding to some posts in my thread about the etiquette of friends peeing together, I was reminded of an
experience a few years ago. There was a woman I knew because I was a quite frequent customer at the shop where she worked.
When the day was slow for her we would chat, and it became clear that she had a significant crush on me to an extent that was
actually quite amusing. She was a mom with several kids, and yet in this respect she seemed like an awkward giggly schoolgirl. Even
when we barely knew each other, she seemed to feel we totally clicked. The feeling wasn't mutual--not that she was ugly or in any
way an unlikable person, but I would have never picked her out of all the women I regularly passed by in life as particularly
attractive or compatible.

We'd had plans for a while to hang out together the two of us outside her work, and so one time I took her on a hike with me. We
were chatting the whole time and while as I said she wasn't my type, I did find her really easy to talk to and open up about personal
things. She also did not find me in any way awkward to be around. At some point she said she needed to pee, and so I walked up ahead around a bend and waited, intending to let her be
alone. However, while she was peeing just off the side of the trail, she told me to look at an interesting plant on the side of
the trail, and in order to see what she was referring to I had to look back at her. Realizing that, she said "No don't
look at ME", but then after some hesitation said that she really didn't mind if I saw. She didn't make too much effort even to hide, like she almost certainly could have found some bushes somewhere to go behind, but she just squatted with her front facing the trail a few feet off the edge down a slope.

By the time she said that, she'd almost finished peeing, and the way she was angled I couldn't see much anyway. However, I
wondered later if she had told me to look at the plant precisely because she liked the idea of me seeing her pee, even if only
subconsciously. I will quite probably never know, because we never had a chance to hang out again before she stopped working at
the place I used to see her, and we lost touch. About a year later I stopped going there too. In a greater relationship sense it
may have been for the better, as I would have only really been able to see her in a "mother role", while she seemed to see me as
a peer and potential romantic prospect, which would likely have led to some misunderstandings down the road. But it also means
that getting to go hiking with her was a one-time thing.

Great that she was relaxed enough to pee with you nearby and I think she must have been trying to get you to look or at least get a glance because otherwise, if she had seen a plant that she really wanted you to look at then she would have concentrated on the peeing and then told you about it when she was done.   The very fact that she called your attention whilst she was peeing must have meant that she expected you to respond and look in her direction.  After all, you had gone round a bend and she was effectively calling you back.   Maybe she was disappointed that you even walked off round the bend in the first place, but it was obviously the gentlemanly thing to do.   Whether she had any pleasure from exposing herself to you in that circumstance or whether she was just comfortable peeing outside and not considering it to be an issue, that's harder to tell.
