Got asked out IRL today!

Today was moving day, and I had hired a moving company to get my big furniture out. They sent 2 guys, and after about 10 minutes, I decided that I was going to flirt with one of them! LOL (Hey, I was never going to see them again, so why not? LOL)

So we got to the new apartment to unpack, and my neighbor was out with his dog...turns out, he knew them, b/c he used to work for the moving company...and I knew my neighbor and his wife from about 7 years ago when I worked with his wife back home (3 hours away).

So they haul everything in, and he motions to me to come into the house away from everybody else to "sign the paperwork". As I was signing, he said, "I've been wondering something since I've been here...do you have a boyfriend or are you single?" I said, "Yeah, I'm pretty single!" and laughed, and he said, "Well then, would you want to go out sometime?" I smiled and said that it sounded like fun, so he gave me his phone number (he already had mine from the paperwork) and said he'd call me in a couple of days to set something up...

Can you believe that? Of all the ways to get asked out...2 years I've been doing online dating, and nothing, I've dated guys from work and gotten nothing but heartbreak, and this is the first time since I've lived here in 2 years that I've been asked out by someone other than in those 2 ways!

We'll see what happens...

Wow that is so cool. I always secretly hope something like this will happen to me. That's probably why it doesn't. I'm so happy for you. I hope it goes well. Keep us posted.

How perfect. You flirt a bit, he asks you out and you already know that when you go out, you will find him attractive. First obstacle is already out of the way. Good for you. I hope it works out.

Keep us posted.

Well, bonus points for him...he called last night and again tonight...we're going out Saturday...it's looking good, but I'm going to be overly cautious on this one, just because I'm tired of being hurt...

Oh that rocks! Thats so cool. I would give anything for something like this to happen to me. I keep thinking it's bound to happen eventually. I keep going out with friends and trying new activites, but alas... still nothing.

I hope the date goes well! Keep us posted :)

Oh, holy cow, I forgot to come back and update...

Well, it didn't happen...but not for lack of a good reason.

I talked to him on the phone Wednesday and Thursday nights, and though it was interesting that I didn't hear from him on Friday night, since our date was Saturday. So on Saturday, I texted him and asked if we were still on, and he sent back, "Death in the family...call me ASAP."

So I called him, and it was his BROTHER!

23 years old, due to have a son in August. How sad is that? I'm not sure what actually happened, I didn't probe...so needless to say, we're postponing...he said he definately still wanted to go out with me, and would get with me when things settled down...so I'm guessing a few weeks, maybe a month...

And yes, I did check it out, not because I didn't trust him, but just because I've been blown off in a myriad of ways, so a story like that wouldn't surprise me...and it was there in black and white in the newspaper...

I posted over on The Single Life about how to talk to him/deal with him once we do go out...you should check it out and toss some advice my way if you get the chance...
