A Challenge...
49
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!

Ok, so I did it. (But I'm going to do it again tomorrow.) A customer service rep that I found really cute wound up helping me with my cell phone... It wasn't successful though. LOL. He obviously warmed up to my flirting, but I couldn't seem to get the convo moving.


Tomorrow I'll be traveling for my job so I'll be in an aiport and will likely have more opportunity. So even though I tried, I'm gonna try again.


How are the rest of you doing?

Damn girl, you've just challenged me! LOL. How about finding one outside of work? Like a random stranger at a bookstore? ;o)


Sorry your convos didn't go the way you hoped. TMI as they say, hey?


Mine didn't go quite well either but I'm going to try again tomorrow... :o)

Does helping a guy with sheets in Target count? He was asking me about the Shabby Chic ones. Taken! No guy with any seeds buys Shabby Chic sheets.

So you're serious? Crap.

Since I have been here, I've only found two men attractive - like I would actually sleep with them. They are both members of my gym. One is probably mid-20's so not even gonna go there. I'll just think of him as having a bright, bright future....lol. The other one is definitely real close to my age and seriously, the gym is as important to him as breathing. And it shows. (I want that mentality so badly!) I imagine him to be sweet and kind just because I've seen him interact with others and a feeling I get when I look at his face (when he doesn't know I'm looking...lol). I can't tell if he's married or not. I haven't been able to pin down which vehicle is his.

If I were to somehow bump into him and say "sorry" - does that count?

Ask him for some advice on a piece of equipment. Guys dig that.

(And I am talking about gym equipment!)

I don't even know his name. I just admire him from afar. And fantasize about the romance novel cover we'd do together when I get to where I wanna be. Whew! Hot in here!
*fanning self*

Maybe I could time it so I ran into him in the hall outside the locker rooms. And then I'd say something like.....geesh, I can't think of anything. Seriously. Maybe "how are you?" I guess??? It's not even clever. You know how you get when you're impressed with someone and the blood rushes to your face and you just want to run like Napoleon Dynamite? Yeah, that's me.

Nah, don't worry about being clever.
