Shaun-Dro Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 My trips to the local grocery are usually uneventful, except for yesterday. I must have been extra attractive with my casual beach attire. First off, I assisted an older woman who asked me to grab her a specific yogurt from the top shelf. "I wait for the tall men to help me.....and a good lookin at that" she said. Shortly after, a short gorgeous blond caught my eye from the far back aisle that runs the length of the grocery store. We locked eyes and smiled until we passed. Quite obvious she was thinkin the same thing I was Unfortunately I let her pass without saying a word. I gathered my overpriced groceries and headed for the checkout lane. And funny thing, I just happened to get in the same checkout lane as her. Even better I was right behind her I was collecting my thoughts for a good ice breaker when a worker opens the checkout lane next to me and asks me to go to that lane which I reluctantly did. I finished my purchase rather quick, and on my way out I looked at her only to see her again staring and smiling at me as I walked out. Without hesitation I dumped my groceries in my truck, grabbed some paper, jotted down my name/number and headed back inside. I approached her still waiting in the checkout lane, and handed her the folded paper and told her "you forgot this" She just looked at me shocked and said "thank you". Later she called and is really excited to see me this weekend. I felt a little juvenile going for the note pass, but considering the circumstances I think it was well played. Questions or comments welcome. This thread is BS and you know it! Unless you look better than that goofy picture icon you got up there, no way any attractive blond is taking initiative in calling you first. And this certainly must be another state far far away .

Questions or comments welcome. Thumbs up. I love that electrically-charged dance, eyes meeting, and meeting again, and the moment when he turns and comes back--I like the way you passed her your number, not a big production, no pressure, but so obvious that you dug her and were taking that extra step.

dangerstranger Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Some weird dude came up behind me in the grocery store once and sniffed the back of my neck when I was grabbing ice cream- not kidding. I like your approach better. The note was cool. Nice work, good job, well played my friend.
angielove Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Awwwww that story gave me butterflies! It was almost like watching a romantic movie hehe! I hope everything works out x
Banker Chick Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 What a great story! On the way home from a date one night I decided to stop at the grocery store & pick up some ice cream. It was late and the store was pretty empty. I had grabbed some cookies for my daughter and was looking at the ice cream, trying to decide which kind to get when the guy standing a little further down the aisle said "It must have been a really bad date". I thought it was such a great opening line! We talked for a few minutes and he ended up not really being my type but I have never forgotten that line. Can't wait to hear how things turn out!
Arikel Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Great story! I'm really happy to see an inspiring story here instead of the usual gloom and doom I hope you have a great weekend ahead
counterman Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I enjoyed that story I hope your date goes well.
Imajerk17 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Great story, but I hope guys reading this don't get the wrong idea. Most of the time, you actually have to go up to the girl and talk to her. Anyway, I was impressed that she called, as most women won't take initiative like that. And you played it extremely well when she did call. Good show!
TheLawmaker Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Congrats man! I don't have the nerve to do that.
Art_Critic Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Congrats man! I don't have the nerve to do that. Yeah.. he was firing on all cylinders...
Author USCGAviator Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 I would have been a complete idiot to misinterpret the way she gazed at me. Her eyes and smile left me with only one question. What was I gonna do about it? She told me the checkout lady knew I gave her my number because she said she had a blushing smile stuck on her face.
Cee Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 She was blushing. Awww. Best "meet cute" story I have heard in a very long time.
Ouroboros Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I didn't know Supermarket Sweep was still on the air.
Author USCGAviator Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 *Update* Well its follow up time. Sat night finally rolled around and she invited me to a dancing bar. That type of atmosphere is out of my element (I prefer a sports bar) but I went ahead and met her there anyway. I guess a girl just needs to dance sometimes and enjoy herself. I don't dance but I went ahead and gave it my best while listening to DJ top 40 songs such as "black and yellow" Overall we both had a great time. She introduced me to everyone she knew there although I don't remember any names. We were light drinkers with about 2 beers each. Backing up a bit - when she arrived, she brought an entourage of girls with her. Actually she rode there with them. So when the bar finally closed I offered to take her home and/or go to my place. She accepted the offer and ended up heading to my place and chatting for about an hour in a quiet atmosphere. Lets just say she stayed the night and all assumptions of what could of happened....DID happen:bunny:. The next morning I took her to Starbucks for a quick breakfast. We were laughing about how we looked and that she was taking the walk of shame in Starbucks. Me with my cargo shorts, shirt, and her with her cute outfit, stilettos and messed up hair. We both had a great time and plan to see each other again. In the meantime we'll see how things play out.
Ouroboros Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 She introduced me to everyone she knew there although I don't remember any names. I never remember anyone's names either. I don't even try. I blank out when names are given. It is like an investigative show where confidential information is bleeped out for the sake of privacy.
carhill Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks for the update and glad it worked out well If this dynamic ends up having traction, the grocery store can always be a 'fun' place to return to 'pick' each other up.
Ouroboros Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Instead of facebook drama you'll have cat food aisle drama.
Art_Critic Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 A great ending... or I should be saying a great beginning Thanks for sharing and good luck
fishtaco Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Nicely done. But isn't sex right away considered evil and the downfall of modern civilization?
oaks Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 evil and the downfall of modern civilization? Well they did end up in Starbucks...
