pseudofemme Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 There's a cute guy who works at this hotdog stand downtown, near where I live. I walk by him almost every day. We've made eye contact and smiled at each other a lot, but I'm kinda shy and haven't gotten the courage to talk to him yet. There are two problems. One, I'm a vegetarian, so I can't just go order a hotdog and start a conversation that way. Two, I walked by him once when I was with my boyfriend (now my ex), and my boyfriend kissed me right in front of him... so hotdog guy probably thinks I'm in a relationship still. Any ideas? I guess I could pretend to talk on my cell phone as I walk by, and LOUDLY say something about how I'm single... ha. But I'm hoping to come up with a plan that's... um, less stupid than that.
Adunaphel Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Ask a friend of yours to order a hotdog and help you start up a conversation. Just pick the friend very carefully.
superconductor Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 "Say, nice weiner you have there." That oughtta do it.
FooD2000 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 oh god, if you did that i'll sock you. Get one of your girl friends, have her buy a hot dog. By having your girl friend there it will make you more at ease and less nervous. Then.... do the routine chit-chat. "how long have you worked here?" "where are you from" blah blah Eye contact, smile.
a4a Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 "Say, nice weiner you have there." That oughtta do it. That was my exact thought....... or ask how big his weiner is? Really....... just walk up to him and say "Hey weiner man are ya single?" Or "show me your weiner" You could ask him if he has any frosty beverages in his weiner stand..... then converse about vegetarian hotdogs..... then just start asking him bunches of questions about himself instead of the weiners questions.
Loserdude Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Well, just standing there looking cute might actually do it. Does he sell soda? You could buy that. A smile and eye contact go far, you don't necessarily have to start the conversation. See what happens...
JamesM Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Man, everyone was way ahead of me on comments for THIS one! I was thinking that way, too. "What is your hot dog made of?" "How long is your wiener?" "Do you have soft buns?" Okay, that doesn't solve the problem. SO, ask him if they have anything for a vegetarian. Or "Hi, my name is..." Believe it or not, if he is interested, the conversation doesn't really matter. The first thing my wife said to me...because someone told her I was interested, and I told that person that (my now wife) looked so good in her tan, she must go to the beach alot...was "So, you think I sit on the beach all of the time?" And so our life began.
Guest Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 The fact that you're a girl approaching a guy should make this relatively easy. It's usually the guys who have to do the work and being approached by a girl is very flattering! There's a VERY cute girl who runs a hot dog stand near where I work who I would love to get to know but she gets flirted with all day long by all sorts of guys. Many better looking and much more wealthy than I am so I won't bother. This guy likely doesn't see a whole lot of attention from women while selling hot dogs so I think he would be thrilled if you initiated a conversation and expressed your interest!
SoleMate Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Order chips and a soda. Friends first. Then the old bf can go out the window if need be.

These are very true....I'd suggest not taking a friend along, as many guys would get intimidated by having multiple cute girls come up to him like that.... You don't have to buy a hot dog or anything...maybe just a drink. Good luck!
johan Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Ask him if he'll set you up with his world famous Schlong Dog with no bun. If he doesn't laugh then he probably wouldn't be much fun to hang out with.
