Ok, I know many of us work at meeting guys and try to figure out how to meet 'em... I'm here to tell ya, I've found a new way!


The Highway!!!


Yes, ladies and gents... I said the highway. Today I met a guy on the highway. ROFL


I was driving back from the airport and saw this beautiful truck. I was looking at the rims, admiring them. The passenger window rolls down, the guy inside motions to roll mine down and then he asks "If I gave you my number, would you call me?" I told him no. LOL Then he asked for mine... Being the nut I am, I gave it. We talked for a few minutes. hehe


Point is though... never discount anywhere you go to meet people! LOL


I thought ya'll would enjoy this!

Cool - hope it works out because what a cool and great story of "how you met" to tell everyone.

A year or two ago I had some hot greek guy in a convertible sports car chase me down as I was exiting McDonalds of all places with french fries stuffed in my mouth, ha. He too chased me down asking if I was single and we did the exchange of numbers after much hesitation like yourself but after talking to him and then asking if we could meet for coffee as opposed to dinner he BLEW up literally and said I was short changing my time with him and all he wanted was dinner and why was I blowing him off for coffee. Yeah, I told him sorry but I'm not comfortable with our conversation and I'm going to have to wish you a good life. He called back at least twice and called me every name in the book. Sigh - however i thought had it worked out what a cool story to tell people; kind of goofy romantic so hopefully you will have better luck, smiles.

LOL @ the stuffing of the fries! :) I'm sorry he turned out to be an idiot.


Honestly, I doubt things will go anywhere with this guy, but it was very flattering to get some stranger slowing his car down and causing traffic for me... :)

Perfect.

That is the whole point - that we have to slow down and see what is around us. You can meet someone anywhere!!

Just yesterday I was in Einstein's by myself. I was looking around and there were no more available tables. But a handsome guy invited me to sit with him and we have a great conversation.

Yay for positive stories! :)


I'm wondering if anyone else out there has any weird stories of where they met a person... :)

I met a guy at a gas station, he was pumping my gas, it was the day my divorce was final and he was so hot totally the opposite of my exhusband, but I wasn't thinking at ALL of a date or anything and he started chitchatting with me and asked if I had a boyfriend and I said NO and he said "Do you want one?" I said "Are you old enough to date me?" Because he had a kind of baby face and come to find otu he was 10 years older than me...we hooked up for about 6 months and then I just let it go stopped talking to him, but man he was just the ego boost I needed after a painful breakup with my husband.

None of the following resulted in any more than pleasant conversation at the moment, but they easily COULD have:


One time, I was cleaning a spill out of the backseat of my car in the parking lot of a supermarket.

Well I have quite the story:

My mother’s friend was married for several years and her husband died. Every Saturday she used to visit his grave and talk to him, she kept seeing this man there every Saturday as well. Eventually the two of them got to talking and he was a widow, his wife had died several years ago as well and she happened to be buried in the spot right next to my mom’s friend, so for awhile they just had Saturday chats as they were visiting the graves, eventually they started to date and come to find out, their respective spouses had done business with each other at certain times in their life, anyhow, they eventually married and so now when they die, both will be buried between the two loves of their lives.

Oh, wow! That is so sweet. That is the best I've heard. Something like that has got to be fated.

BKL,

One of the more interesting places I've heard of for meeting guys in Austin is the hardware store. I've had numerous woman approach me asking for directions in finding items (like I work in the store). Then an ex co-worker mentioned her and her friends would walk around the store and find a good looking guy and then approach with the same method. Since I can be shy at times, I simply showed the gals where the items were without any further adiou. So the next time a woman asks me where the toilets are; I'm going to pull out the paper and give her my phone #.
