bad form or not?
| Mon, 03-15-2004 - 1:20pm |
so...yesterday i'm at the mall waiting in line to get coffee. A really attractive woman an d her daughter were right in front of me, and the woman whispers something to her daughter and then the daughter says she(the daughter) wants to buy me a cup of coffee. hahaha..I start chatting with them a little bit and offer to buy theirs instead. Mom says oh, no, we couldn't ask you to do that. Mom is definitely blushing, but appeared to be enjoying the encounter.
I know that women are very hesitant to give guys their #'s when they meet out of the blue that way, so I wrote mine down on my business card and said 'here, call me and i'll buy you lunch AND a coffee, hows that?" she took it and we parted. I could tell she was a bit giggly with her daughter as they walked away.

Question is--is it good form to do that(i've never done it that way before) or not?

Sure, why not?
I think perhaps you're confusing situations where a guy sees a woman regularly and doesn't ask her out on a date, which is completely different from your situation, where you had a chance encounter with someone who might interest you and gave her a way to follow up if she's comfortable doing so.
Of course, if she CALLS you, then you should ask her out properly ;-)!!!
Sheri
I think this is different from a dating situation, like Sheri said. If you start asking out strange women in the Starbuck's line, odds are you will not get a very good reception b/c some women will think, who is this strange guy putting me on the spot while I'm trying to get coffee? But this way you gave her a way to contact you after she thinks about it, confers with her daughter, etc.
I also agree with Sheri that you shouldn't get your hopes up, but if something does come of it you'll have a fun story! Good luck. :)
