That's the way I look it. The worst thing that can happen is that I get out of this town for a while check out some pretty good paintings done by artists in this region, chat with some new folks, maybe have a cup of coffee or a bite to eat somewhere and drive home. Sure, I'll feel disappointed if things don't work out with my "mountain man," but my goodness; it ain't my first time at the rodeo, I'll live.

But what's the use of living a life if you can't have a little fun sometimes imagining a romance. Even thinking about him, and then having the way to find him practically dropped into my lap at a Quick Stop I wouldn't have driven right om past if I hadn't glance down to see that I was low on gas. My painter might be thinking about me as I type these words. Why lose out on the chance, no matter how small, to find a true companion?

Why do I get the feeling that if the genders were reversed here, Colorado Rambler would be labeled creepy and stalker to the Nth degree.

A bit bitter are we? If my painter just so happened to show up accidently on purpose at some place I was known to hang out, and we had a conversation that took off where I first one left off, I'd be delighted. A creep showoing up everywhere I go is a whole other story.

Absolutely! I've been thinking this through this whole thread: women do tend to do the homework to try to find a guy they've had a positive first encounter with. They won't surveil his house, they'll arrange and accidental run-in around town, or nowadays, an email. Men rarely do this (except for Seinfeld, in the "Stake-out" episode). Men will hope to run into a woman they've taken a shine to in a random fashion, even though they've observed she hangs out at a certain coffee shop on a certain day, or have other ways of learning where she can be found. They don't seem to put their thinking caps on to follow up on obvious clues.

Women, on the other hand, will practically move heaven and earth to make sure they run into the guy again. It's always been that way, from what I've heard about how these things worked back in the 50's. Men have tended to be more passive in that regard, and women the pursuers, though in subtle fashion.

Did anyone mention posting on Craigslist missed encounters ? It's worth a shot. It's free.

Not by me. If a guy tracked me down using public information because he had admired me, I'd be fine with it. I'd think it was sweet and earnest and resourceful. If I turned him down and he persisted in contacting me or pursuing me, then he'd be a creepy stalker and I'd lay the pimp hand down, as it were.

I think most women would agree with this. Women don't understand why men don't put in this kind of effort, when they're obviously interested.
