Here I am asking out all these guys, and I haven't been asked out on any dates since I started this blog. However, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me because even though I might not get asked out all the time, it does occasionally happen. For example, about five months ago, a guy in my neighborhood asked me out. He was sweeping the sidewalk as I walked by, and our interaction went something like this...
Guy: Hi there, pretty lady, how are you doing today?
Me: I’m doing great. How about yourself?
Guy: Oh, I’m all right. Listen, would you want to get a bite to eat with me?
Me: I’m sorry, I'm on my way to work.
Guy: Well, it doesn’t have to be right now.
Me: No, I really can’t. I don’t think my boyfriend would like that very much.
Guy: Oh, I see. Well he’s a lucky guy. Could you spare a dollar or two for me instead then?
Key pieces of information here: I lied to him about having a boyfriend and the guy is a semi-homeless men. He’s always nice and clearly clever because I felt so bad about turning him down (and lying about having a boyfriend) that I gave him money for lunch. So yes, sometimes, I get asked out, kind of.
my favorite part about this one -- that I can hear your whole side of the conversation. :)
