Picking up men in a bookstore?
Posted: 5/15/2008 7:23:31 PM
I once started a conversation with a man next to me at the lunch counter. His food arrived first and I said, "that looks good." He glared at me, and stabbed his yolk. My breakfast couldn't arrive fast enough and I couldn't wait to get out of there! You only need a few of those to make you a little gun-shy. No wonder so many men just don't do it anymore - I mean, who needs that!

Ok, this is pretty interesting. I have to tell this story. Ok, I met a guy on my way to my 10th year high school reunion. I was all decked out in my red dress and he was in his V.W. and we were on the freeway and I looked over and he looked at me and we just started flirting and one thing led to another and there I was pulling over to meet him. I told him I was on my way to my high school reunion and I'd meet him afterwards at a night club we both knew about. We met. If ya wanna know more I'll have to write a book...LOL...I have never met a guy this way except for that one time...Ya know. just when ya least expect it.

Wait.... what section is that under? I didn't know you could purchase people at bookstores, this must be a new option.

Are they smallish or compact men... like tote size.... or fun size? I mean, it would be hard to carry around a 190 pound dude...

the giggleparts - The sky people told me stuff... important stuff.

So I picked up 'Ulysses' and blushed as I thought of the last paragraph, and he picked up: ATLAS SHRUGGED! AEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! To quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail: RUN AWAYYYYYYYY!
So I'd TOTally try it again, and pray I don't attract another libertarian.


I'm sure he felt the same way if you told him what you thought of his selection. "Whew! That was a close one!"

I'm rather confused by that post as well, whothehellknows...

What's wrong with Libertarian's? I happen to like some of their funky Jazz music....

Book stores are great places to meet people. Especially int he magazine section or manga section. it cna be awkward but can work.


Dang, I hang out at Barnes and Noble and Books a Million all the time, I love to read........... but I must be doing something terribly wrong here , because all I seem to attract there are the geeks looking at the Dating for Dummies manuals in the computer section!!

I was confused by this post as well. I thought to myself, What does that have to do with the price of tea in a book store these days but I figured I'd say something about an interesting way I "met" a man...I love book stores too but never met a man at one. I was thinking by the writing that she had met somebody at a "diner". Maybe the post should have said something like "Picking up men in a diner".

It does feel kind of weird when a girl asks you out. I think its a nice surprise though. My ex-girlfriend asked me out at church. I was sitting in THE FRONT ROW and she passed a note down to me asking if I could take her out on a date Tuesday. I could not believe it.

Yeah we had a good first date even though she brought along her kid. That was the first date I went on where someone brought their baby. That was weird but I didn't have anything better to do. Some people would probably think that she was desperate just because she was a single mom, but I didn't think so at the time. She was very beautiful and talented but just had some psychological problems (which I found out later on). I just figured that she asked out at church because she was a go getter. I don't see nothing wrong with that. The only thing that bothered me was that I was sitting in the front row! The audacity! You in God's house girl! That's crazy...she could've waited till I got out.

Why do you need your friends' approbation? Are you sure that you are 27?
