A Challenge...

Thu, 10-13-2005 - 10:11pm

So ya'll know I'm big into challenges, right? Well if you didn't, then now ya do. LOL


Ladies and gents, a challenge, should you choose to accept...


Tomorrow I'd like you to go up to a complete stranger, find a chance to smile and start a conversation. No rules about what you talk about or how long you speak. The only rule here is that it has to be a member of the gender you are looking to have a relationship with and you have to find them attractive.


If you decide to join the challenge, post back here tomorrow regarding who you talked to, what his/her reaction was and what you talked about. And also share any thoughts surrounding your experience.


(For those of you wondering why I'm suggesting this, it's just to open up yet another avenue of opportunity for us!)


Good luck to all. I look forward to reading about those who accepted this!

>All the attractive men will be gay.

Your challenge is to change them back.

Post-it notes. A very hot subject here in Canada. And my face got red. I was mortified.

OK...so I started up a couple of conversations at work on Friday. I decided I'd learn some more names. First guy, found out his name is Dan. He's been coming in pretty regularly for about a month. Just talking about remembering names and faces, then the subject turns to high school. Turns out we went to the same high school! I asked him when he graduated...1995;P I graduated in 1978...sheesh! I knew he was young but...
Second guy Tony, formerly known as Big Bud (that's what he drinks, a large draft beer) He's an electrician, is moving into the city, blah, blah, blah...He's had two beers in about 45 minutes (it's about 1:00pm) I ask him if he wants another beer and he say no he's gotta go to a DUI class!!! Seriously. Well, we continue talking and he decides to have another and blow off his DUI class. I know he's serious because he's telling his buddy about being stuck at home all day Sunday without any beer or transportation and that he's got like 4 weeks to go.
This is why I don't flirt with customers.
