DArtagnan2 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Today, I took a rental car back to Enterprise as I was having my car worked on and it was ready. When I first got the rental, the female manager who picked me up from the body shop, was really nice, we struck up conversation easily and talked until I drove away with the rental car. I didn't think much of it. Today same thing. When she had walked in, she greeted me with a smile and some banter as to how often I have been at their location (had to take my car in a couple of times in the last couple of weeks). Then after a few minutes while I am about to leave after checking out, she says "so any big plans this weekend?" I answered with my boring no plans weekend and said the stupid answer of, cleaning and taking care of things around the house. Ive been out of town for work for the last two months and have only been home for about 4 days out of those two months. So of course, I rambled on about that and doing yard work. She engaged in the convo and was active with banter then as well. Then, thought I would ask "What about you? Anything going on?" She told me about some wine/craft beer event at some museum but couldn't remember which museum it was. But she went on and on about the event. I showed interest and said that sounded like a cool thing to attend. I'd have to look it up and maybe check it out. She said "You should. I'll be there." then she went on about what else she had planned, cleaning and yard work as well. Then they were ready to take me back to the body shop to get my car so we just said Thank you's , nice to meet you, and cya's... I get in the car and the guy driving me back said, "Man, she was all in to you." I was like "really? we were just chatting is all, she seems real nice." he goes "whats wrong with you? I could see it from outside the room and just by listening to her. She doesn't always talk to customers. We actually never seen her really even be nice." I just laughed and of course was thinking, hmm. I am not someone who thinks just because a gal talks to me, that she is in to me. Anyway, I guess I am really bad at noticing it since getting back in the dating world after my ex and I split. Too many people too many times have told me exactly what the driver told me after the fact. Anyway, I thought, maybe I should look up this event and go. Possibly run in to her there. I don't know. She may even be going with someone. Would that seem stalkerish? Also, is it a common "pickup" line when someone says "Any big plans this weekend?" I don't look at it that way, but have been told too many times I missed something at those moments. Edited May 9, 2014 by DArtagnan2
HappyLove Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Ugh! She couldn't make it more obvious if she tried! I mean the next step would of been a personal lap dance THEN maybe you'd get it! I mean dude who WORKS THERE even told you she's all INTO YOU! WAKE UP!!!! She told you where she'll be this weekend you need to be there and "run into" her. Hell maybe you'll even just have a good time at the event! If you don't see her there then call her up at work and ask her to dinner. You have nothing to lose! Maybe she's seeing someone maybe she's not only one way to find out! 4
Author DArtagnan2 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Ugh! She couldn't make it more obvious if she tried! I mean the next step would of been a personal lap dance THEN maybe you'd get it! yes, that would have been very clear for sure.
Bruce Leigh Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Ha ha, i wouldn't worry about it too much, we have all been there, most men and women experience this at some point. Just try to remember the next time it happens that it could be more than friendly chatter.
Frank2thepoint Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 From what you wrote, she was being very chatty and displayed the typical sign of interest. But it is very difficult to tell since she was working. She could of just been really friendly, building a rapport with a customer. The only way to find out is just call her up and ask if she would like to attend the beer event with you. You could just show up at the event, and hope you will spot her, but that's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Just call her up, you have nothing to lose.
tlegend Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 .....oh ****. I ALWAYS ask people "any big plans for the weekend?" Seriously, I find it something that is just sooo easy to get a conversation going with someone. However, I also truly enjoy just HAVING conversation..... I'm happy to see that some people consider this a pickup line. I'll have to adjust my vocabulary accordingly... For the OP: Go to the event, and have fun!
Assasda Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Yeah she couldnt be more clear. The woman Jeopardized her safety by telling you where she would be on the weekend. If that isnt an invitation I dont know what is. I think you can salvage this. What you do is you get tickets to go to any event, You go up there and you tell her that you'd like her to come with you. Also, what would be the big deal if you went there and she was with someone. You could still have a good time. Enjoy the journey and mot kist when youre at your destination
Author DArtagnan2 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 So I found the event and checked it out. With or without her being there, it looks like a cool thing to attend but also seems to be a pretty popular event. To which it is sold out. That's a good idea about finding another event. At least I know she would be interested in something like this. Gives me some ideas. I appreciate the feedback and suggestions. I feel like such a fish out of water getting back in to the dating world. I'm generally shy but obviously not in meeting people in general, I can carry a conversation. Its more so when it comes to approaching someone I may be interested in. I get all tongue tied and stupid things come out. Work in progress for sure, I'm slowly getting there. Thanks again for the feedback and support.
Omei Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) "she's was so clear bla bla etc" Then why didnt she just ask him out? Why is it always the man's job to mind read and do it? Im in favor of her just building a rep with customers. If not its her loss for beating around the bush not his. If you do see her again just ask her out if she says yes than grats.
