MANITOU SPRINGS, CO -- A Manitou Springs woman became extremely distressed with symptoms of physical illness when thoughts of dating Steve came to mind last weekend. The young blonde, who works at a local café that Steve frequents on a regular basis, became so disconcerted that she took an unconventional 35-minute break to recuperate from the trauma.

How the topic of dating Steve was originally introduced in conversation is unknown.

"All I did was take a picture of me and her, and she starts acting really grossed out." explained Steve in a baffled tone. "I don't know what her problem was … I didn't even mention dating."

The anonymous woman, who has encountered Steve with his digital camera on numerous occasions, refused to comment on her ghastly reaction to the prospect of dating Steve.

"You must have done something to turn her off. Did you do something disgusting like show her your belly button or your busted toe?" questioned Dawnn DiVito, Steve's Hair Consultant, "What's wrong with you?"

"Look, I can't control what other people think. All I know is, if I was interested in her, she would be missing out for sure." Steve concluded.
