Since we're on the subject of flirting may I just say, I've still got it! ;)
A couple weeks ago, I was on one of those puddle jumper plans, prop plane- seats maybe 40 max, going from Seattle to Portland. Those are some cramped planes! Well in walks this gorgeous man, and turns out he's got the seat right next to me! He was aisle, I'm window. Lucky me. :)
But the plane wasn't full so when the flight attendant announced that we were free to switch seats, I took it as an unspoken compliment that he did not move to an empty row. ;) And I would have had to climb over him if I wanted to move so I stayed put.
About 10 minutes after takeoff, he opens up the airline magazine and there's a feature on the Lewis and Clark expedition, and what do you know!!! My company is being featured as the premiere company to travel with exploring in the wake of Lewis and Clark, so I pipe up..."hey! that's where I work!" and I pull out my copy.
So we start talking and he says he's just graduated with a masters in natural history and geology, so I say..."WOW! you'd make a GREAT naturalist exploration guide! Do you know much about the rivers?" He fills me with details, all of them accurate to the best of my knowledge. SO I give him my card and tell him to think about it and if he's interested I'll get him an interview.
Well , yesterday, I got a call from him on my voicemail. The message said, that although he's already landed a great job with benefits, he couldn't stop thinking about my smile, and he wanted to know if I'd like to have dinner next time I'm in town. His treat, so he can learn more about me this time."
All I could think was, wow! I was trying to recruit him, but not for a date!
Still it was way way flattering to get the call...now to let him down gently.
Anyone near Portland, OR who might be interested? This guy is gorgeous, about 28-30, single, and scholared! LOL

Whew-hoo!!!
Why did you turn him down? Are you taken?
