Home Depot, where do you meet men?
| Sun, 11-07-2004 - 5:33pm |
I recently got turned on to the idea of meeting men at Home Depot or Lowe's. They have free how-to clinics there. I didn't get my butt in gear today for the any of the free clinics, but I did stop into Home Depot. I picked out some paint samples, but other than that I didn't have a mission and I wasn't prepared to meet anyone. Almost as soon as I walked in there, I caught the eye of a cute, decent looking guy. We made good eye contact and he flashed me the biggest, cutest smile. Being caught off guard, I bolted. Next time, I'd be better prepared. I know almost nothing about home improvement, so it would not be out of line at all to ask someone a question on that subject.
I'll definitely go to the free clinics (esp. the manly ones). Also, I think I'll be spending time there. I need to anyway. I need to paint my house, etc...

I think you have to live your life to the fullest and then when you least expect it you will run into him. There are as many places to meet men as there are stars in the sky.
I think you have to have the right attitude. And always look your best.
If you are going the home depot route, make sure you are wearing a cute dress. One day when I was in there, I was wearing a cute black cocktail dress over top of my bathing suit (okay so this is the type of dress that you can dress up or down) and I got a lot of looks and a lot of help.
Today I was in Einstein's in my biking outfit and talked to the nicest most gorgeous guy. Just talked, smiled and made eye contact. All for practice and good attitude. AND yesterday in Meinecke the counter clerk hollared, "you just knocked me DOWN!!" I think he was referring to my new Hollister low-rise jeans and layered tops. Expensive Victoria's secret bra is worth the bucks. Anyway, this is all for practice and good self esteem!!!!
Also I got picked up waiting at the airport once... and the gym is a good place and speed dating can be an adventure!
It helps if you are a big time flirt...which I am. =)

Hey - get it where you can girl. Just beware - men doing construction work tend to remove their wedding rings.....

That's true about the wedding ring. Around here, many white collar men don't wear wedding rings. It's very disturbing.
I have been in a good groove lately. For some reason I am having a lot of fun and am revelling in my "single" freedom!
Instead of longing for a guy, I am feeling like one will have to come and find me and woo me if he wants me!! :-)
I feel 17 again!!
Graduate school, student happy hours, karate class, flirting in restaurants...men are EVERYWHERE! I swear!
Do I look at them all as candidates for dating? No...I smile at men and women, talk with everyone I meet, cashiers, custodians, fellow students. Sometimes, something clicks...and then you look further.
I've seen guys who were on the personals at places around town like, the university offices, outdoor festivals, Pier one, bars, and restaurants. Often they are with a different woman every time. I don't want to do the personals thing any more. If I meet someone in real life, great...if I don't, that's great, too. I'm doing my own thing.
