This story is either going to make you mad at me or simply make your jaw drop.
Over the 4th of July week I went camping with my family and friends. It's an annual thing and seems to be growing in numbers every year, this year when we were full strength we had 34 people! So on July 5th practically all of us went to the beach, my favorite summer time activity! After much sun bathing us 'kids' decided to go play beach volleyball. I say 'kids' because we ranged in age from me, 23, to Victoria, 11. We Qoute "Looked like an orphange" So any way; we played volleyball and I didnt suck too bad :) and when we were done we decided to go in the water and cool off. Well the volleyball nets were pretty far from where our parents had their row of umbrellas and what not so we walked back that way. While we were walking I got seperated from the herd, I was somewhere between the teenagers, rightly nicknamed "the babysitters club," and the couples. As I was begining to feel rather lonely, when something happened :) I found myself sandwiched between two boys. One guy, with dark hair and scruffy facial hair and the sunglasses that you can't see his eyes in. The other guy, Aaron, was taller with sandy brown hair and a nice smile. Guy number one did most of the talking and for the life of me I can't remember his name. I have a bad habit of not listening when people say "Hi my name is..." Anyway let's get to the good part!
Guy 1: Are you from around here? Cuz you look like you could be famous! (that was his pick up line! haha)
Me: No, Actually I'm on vacation with my family
Guy 1: Where are you from?
Me: Waterford. It's on the other side of the state.
Guy 1: Me and my friend here are from a near by city. So your a Michigan girl? Are you sure you aren't famous, those sunglasses make you look famous. Kid Rock is from Michigan and he's famous.
Me: Nope. sorry not famous.
Then some how we got to talking about Lake Superior and Lake Superior State which apparantly has a good hockey team. Which made me mention our National Championship team! and he says "Oh you go to MSU? I just work at a factory" (this where I think, ok maybe not marrying material but walk along the beach conversation material most definately)
So we keep walking and talking, Aaron is up ahead of us and doesn't seem much interested. He was the cuter one too, maybe his buddy called dibs or something haha. So guy one continues to throw out all sorts of lines complimenting everything from my hair to my smile. And even gets it figured out that I'm single and of course he is shocked that a girl like me is single! (Side note: If all these guys are sooo shocked I'm single...why am I? Perhaps the answer to this eternal question lies in the end of this story)
We reach the point where I've begun to stray kind of far from my pack and the small talk is begining to die. So guy one suggests we should get a drink later. I say yeah sure. And he says "But I don't have your number" and I say "hmm thats a problem isn't it" and we depart without an exchange of numbers. Aaron did shake my hand good bye though :)
So That last part makes me seem like a real bitch. But I didnt mean to come off that way, in the moment I thought I was being cute or something I guess. But looking back it doesnt seem so cute. It must have taken some real gusto to talk to me like that and I shot him down, I do that alot...shoot boys down. To all the boys I've ever shot down; I'm Sorry. I could have given him my number, who knows if he even would have called.
It made me feel pretty good to get hit on though :) Its definately a first. You know, I make little scenerarios like this in my head all the time but they never actually happen, this one caught me totally off guard! What about me made them choose me to come up to talk to? I mean its the beach, theres a lot hotter stuff out there than me, and they probably give out numbers.
Thats my story. 100% true.
As a follow up from my last post. I went to Yoga today and had a personal session with Ben. But I chickened out in the whole asking him to coffe thing....maybe next week? Maybe I need a good pick up line like "Are you from around here cuz you look famous?" lol.
