So I am walking down the street and stop at the corner, waiting for the light to change green so I can cross the street. This guy comes up behind me and he is talking on the phone. I have no idea what he is saying and don't really know what made me turn my head, but as I looked at him, he gave me the cutest smile! He was the most adorable trader!!! What did I do??? I gave him a sheepish smile and turned back around!!! Talk about not knowing how to work it when you really want to! Damn It!!!!!

I know how you feel.
I think it's called being caught off guard and don't really know how to react.
Happens lots of times.

Ha ha! Reminds me of something that happened the other day. I used to go to this dumpy old gym where most people that work out are old so I got in the habit of wearing the ugliest clothes ever, big old t-shirts and baggy shorts and stuff. Well, I just joined a brand-new trendy gym where lots of beautiful people work out, but old habits die hard, so the other day I was filling my water bottle and I turned around and saw the cutest hottie doing a leg press machine. I started to give him a cute smile and then realized I was wearing my usual grub-wear! I looked scary! I gotta go shopping for cute gym stuff this weekend!

That's exactly what I would have done...if I could have done that!


I seriously need a few "dress rehearsals" with a guy before I can truly flirt.

I run into the same situation all the time, but sorry, I have no solution. By the way, how did you know that he is a trader?

Oh, I do that all the time!! I can't figure out why I do that, either. The blood starts pumping, I get excited, and I guess my brain and mouth both shut down.

Case in point -- saw one of my crushes at a happy hour networking thing last night. Do you think I talked to him at all? Nope - everyone in the room, but not him. GRR.

I feel your pain.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I work in the financail district of Chicago. Right in between the Chicago Board of Trade and the Sears Tower. The traders wear these vest and you cannot miss them. Too many of them around.

ok I have a question for the women then...

You say things liek your motuh shuts down, or you dont talk to your crush but everyone else which can give off the signal to the guy that you may not like him...how often do you women aviod your crush because your so nervous and how should guys be able to read this to know if you dont like him or you are just nervous?
