I remember once outside a public library a pretty girl asking me to borrow my phone cuz her cell died. After she used it, I made a crack to the effect "should I delete your number from outgoing calls or start stalkerishly texting you", to which she replied she wouldn't mind talking to me and we exchanged names and chit chatted a bit, later got together. It was blind luck, her battery died, she was waiting on a ride, and I was the next schlemiel walking out of the building. I didn't really have some great swagger, or "lines" and wasn't particulary dressed up. Anybody else have similar anecdotes?
When I met my husband, I was out with a friend at a local bar. Wasn't "looking" to meet anyone. A friend of mine also knew my husband and introduced us. He would come over and chat with me and my friend or strike up a conversation at the juke box. I played it cool as though I wasn't interested. We ended up talking a lot that evening and he drove me home. That was 18 years ago. I think sometimes when we don't try so hard, or even at all, that's when find someone.
So, what happened with you and the girl? Are you still together?
Yep, it's happened to me a few times. Most recently was a few months ago when I turned around in the grocery store checkout line and saw the cutest guy. I smiled and he struck up a conversation. We started chatting, exchanged numbers and went out about a week later. It's nice.
I transferred grocery stores for work when I was in high school in the summer. I ended up meeting a girl who was a year younger but went to the same high school. Dumb luck ended up placing us in the same home economics class that year too. We dated for about 9 months and she was my senior year prom date. Overall a great girl.
Months into our relationship she admitted to thinking I was mentally disabled when she first saw me. I had different colored pants because the store previously required khakis, the new one required black dress pants. I got black pants, but that was like 2 weeks in. hahaha.
It's easier to meet someone when your not looking for it. That's been my experience anyhow. I met a women at a coffee shop a while back she liked my walking stick & she came over & asked about it....
Dunno. I met my ex through a club in high school. Wasn't really actively trying to go for her when we first met and we didn't even start dating till the end of the school year. So I guess yeah it was without trying.
Yep. In my experience, that's the best way to meet someone. Trying ends up being contrived... when people aren't trying, they are more likely to be themselves.
Happens to me all the time, when I am not actively looking for someone, or ready to throw in the towel, I have always bumped into someone out of nowhere, and next thing I know, we are going out.
I met my wife when I was a non traditional student going back to school and she was the English instructor. (I'm a couple years older) certainly was not planning that one.
I met my husband while I was engaged to someone else. I can say for certain that I was not looking!
