LK30 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I was filling up my car today and at the pump behind a girl began putting fuel in hers, and I thought 'wow! you are lovely!' Admittedly she had a great figure and I can obviously barely comment on her personality, but as I drove away I was daydreaming (not recommended when you're driving!) about calling across the forecourt to say 'hi, I don't know you, but would you like to meet up for a drink later?' Ladies - would this have been acceptable and would you have fired diesel at me if I'd done this?!!
triphopper414 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I would not call across the yard to say this to her. One it shows that you are 1) crazy (lol) 2.) don't have the courage to go up and talk to her like a gentleman. You should have offered to pump her gas for her. There would have been your conversation starter.
spiderowl Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Shouting across a forecourt would not be acceptable. It would be embarassing. But, if you'd come over and politely asked with a smile, I might have considered it. In reality, I would probably have been taken by surprise and blushed and mumbled the wrong thing, then regretted not being more quick-thinking later. It might be best to ask her and then also give her your number to give her chance to think about it. People don't always respond appropriately when taken by surprise. I've lost count of the number of guys I've turned down because they appeared from nowhere and asked me out or started chatting to me. I was so shocked with these approaches from out the blue that my first instinct was to get rid of them as quickly as possible and get out of there. Contrary to what guys think, girls don't expect guys to do this and understand what they want. It was only later that I thought 'actually, he was nice and polite to me, maybe he was a decent guy'! Too late then though. Edited August 15, 2011 by spiderowl
D-Lish Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Nothing wrong with asking as long as there's no shouting:p
Author LK30 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 Thank you for the responses! I had better get myself some cards written up with my number so I can hand it to them rather than all the flapping about getting phones or pens and paper out. Although, I think having your number on a card takes away the 'sponteneous' nature and fun out, and makes it looks like I'm waiting for any old opportunity to dish it out!!
