I just got asked on a date.
While waiting in line for Starbucks.
The guy started chit-chatting with me and then asked me if I'd like to go to dinner sometime. Honestly, it seemed so awkward - I've never been part of the 'dating scene' as an adult, so I guess I'm not sure how I expect people to find new people and ask them out on dates, but it just seemed so bizarre.
I stood there kind of stunned and was like, "Ooooohhhhhhh...umm...I'm married." And then I mentally analyzed our conversation (in which I said very little) and wondered if I'd led him on or something. I didn't think I'd seemed interested in having a conversation with him, let alone having dinner with him, but who knows.
Re: I just got asked on a date.
You still got it! Happens to me all the time, lol, I wish. DH got hit on by a gay guy at Starbucks the other day, must be the hot spot
Wow that is awkward. I think I might be weird, but even someone being mildly interested in me creeps me out.
My friends that have been married for a while tell me that I'll get over that and like the attention one day, but I'm doubting it.

I would have found it weird even if I were single, I think. I dunno.
And Jeff and I used to go to a restaurant where we always got this one awesome gay waiter, and he flirted with Jeff like CRAZY. It was hilarious. He was a great waiter, AND he was entertaining. To me, anyway.
Jeff's response to my story was:
I don't get this at all-- so im either extremely hideous or guys feel that THIS ginger is too unapproachable ;oP
I hear that gingers give off that kind of aura.........I don't think I do.
Datsyuks & Ferdy- We Go Together Like...
Ferdy - I usually don't get this. I can't remember anyone ever doing it before, actually.
The only time I get 'hit on' is from skanky guys on the street who catcall at every woman that walks by, especially the ones that they think are easy targets (as in, someone who will get upset or easily flustered by it). That's something I hate about the city - it's NOT a compliment if you've ever experienced it, it's icky and makes you feel like a shower.
Plus when you see a guy say something to every other person, or cackle to his friends after saying something disgusting, it's obviously nothing about you personally.
You still got it!
Kidding.. well kind of. It is a nice compliment.
But honestly, I can see how awkward that must've been. I feel bad for the guy, that's not your fault! He should've checked your hand.

Jeff said the same thing. I'm not sure why he didn't (don't people CHECK?). I had my arm down by my side so it wasn't super-noticeable, but it was in plain view (not like my hand was in my pocket or anything) and as I said, you'd think the guy would do a quick left-hand check first.
can you blame him?
and on a side note...I've had tons of skeezy guys tell me that being a relationship didn't matter to them. Rings are meaningless to scumbags.
Also, people are oblivious. I bet he didn't even think to look.
