another day ....
ALright.. so I'll be 26 this month. I've been working really hard and going to school. I'm thinking that I need to see if I can find a really flexible part time evening job. I wonder if those exist.
I always seem to talk about guys and what happens and the lack there of. But something kinda cool happened this past week, for once. It goes back to a conversation that I had with a co-worker about a month back. I had mentioned to her how I had met a guy or so at that time. She then asked me about if I had ever met a guy the regular way, like at a store or bar or something like that. Anyway.. At that time, the answer was no. But I broke that record.. you could say...
I went into this store.. and since I've been in there before I've noticed that I'm being watched by someone - not in the bad way lol.. like if I was shop lifting or something.. anyway... He came up to me and asked me if I needed any help with anything. I took him up on his offer. He showed me the area of where I should have been able to find it and then told me he would be around the area if I needed any other help. I kept looking.. and then all of a sudden he popped back up and asked me if I had found them. I did, and then he was like, well.. Ok.. and then went back to another area. I turned back and saw him there, waving at me - to which I waved back and then headed to the cashier to pay then leave. I don't know where it was that I gathered up the courage, but I got the receipt, asked the cashier for a pen, then wrote down my name and phone #. I went back to find him because the store has a little warehouse attached to it. And since I went after I got out of work the store was already shutting down and getting ready to close up. So as I was walking back I could see in the distance someone waving their arms and acting silly in the shadows. I kept walking towards him and he was walking to me. We reached each other and I told him that I wanted to ask him a question. He was like ok.. and then i asked him why he hadn't come up to me before... was he shy? He said a little... then I asked him if he had a girlfriend or something, because there was no ring - which doesn't always mean anything... lol. Then I asked him if He would call me if he had my number... *I'm soooo smooth* I've never been through this, so I have to say I did fairly well... Anyway.. he said he would call me if it was ok with me, which is where I gave him my phone number. Then I left, watching my walk - making sure I didn't stumble or anything.. because I could still feel him watching me leave.
I left with a smile. Later on when I was at home, my cell rings. It was only an hour and a half later. We talked for about half an hour until I had to get on the road to pick up my brother. I asked him to call me back and that maybe we could get together this weekend. While on the phone we got to know each other a little bit. I'm thinking he didn't call me back because he was insecure about his age. I thought he was maybe 29 or 30 - when I asked him how old he was, he responded with a "does it Matter?" question... I didn't say one way or another, So I'm wondering if that did it. I learned that he's done a lot of things in his life... and none of them bad either. I have to admit.. that I like him. One thing that made me feel good was that he said that he thought that I was cute, attractive and pretty. He also said that I had a really nice voice - but that's one thing that I've heard before. One thing that made it different was that I didn't have to worry if he would like what I looked like or not since he met me in person to begin with. That made me beam with joy. So he didn't call me... it's ok. It's just the idea of what happened to begin with - that I had met someone and that I was capable of being approached in that way.
What's going to be funny is that I have to back to that store again this coming weekend.. so we'll see if he ignores me or maybe it's just that he lost my number or has something else to hide. I'll have to wait and see what this week has in store for me.
Hope you all had a restful weekend... i know I did.
