alright men here's my beef

[.muffy.]

So I'm sitting at the bus stop minding my own business, when this guy starts talking to me.
We start talking about hockey, prices of ciggerettes, current affairs and I'm suprised that I've been talking to a complete stranger for almost 20 minutes at this point.
I wasn't throwing any signals (ie: body language, casual sly flirting, A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G)
Guy looks me dead in the eye and asks me if I have a boyfriend and that he wants to take me to dinner.

YES I have a man
NO I'm not into picking up men at the bus stop
We had been having a perfectly friendly, "pleasant" (if one could be so bold) conversation up to then and he RUINED it.

Hey just a thought creepy guy, not all girls are that desperate...or at least maybe just not me.

Moral of the story: Just because someone wants to make poliete conversation doesn't mean they want in your pants.

[mapleleaf4ever]

Maybe you were the first Girl to not scream and run away and he considered that a signal?

[dabbler]

hahaha.

yeah some guys have some serious nerve, like does this actually work? and it does, like how often, one time in 50?

[.muffy.]

I would be suprised to hear if it EVER worked

[hardstylin]

hahaha well maybe he just thought you were interesting and pretty so why not ask :) no harm in asking unless he was all creepy about the whole thing.

[miss.myra]

I don't find it worth my while to be friendly to strangers or meet new people (=overrated)

so I usually only bring up conversation in that context if I want to get in their pants.

am I a bad person?

no.
I think I should be your grasshopper, it seems I have MUCH to learn in the ways of not being friendly to strangers

ACK!! well if the CREEP-O-METER is goin of the charts then the invite was very un-legit of him.

[.muffy.]

granted however, the first bit of our conversation was relatively CREEP FREE
it was towards the end of it that things got ugly

Yeah... I'm really not that desperate to meet people. In fact, I'm desperate not to meet the kind of people that come upto me. That's where the bitch face comes in. Damn being approchable...

[neoh]

well, you have to hand it to the dude, he did spark conversation with you, and he didin't just come out and say it, he didint ask to have sex with you, he asked you for dinner.

It takes a lot of balls for men to spark conversations with an attractive girl, believe me, and that may have been the first time he has ever built up enough courage to ask you! He didin't know you had a boyfriend, he enjoyed the conversation so he asked you for dinner to continue the conversation.

Not all guys are creepy, unless he was like, 30 times your age and gastly, then I would suppose so!

it's the law of average man.

[MistressSpankME]

I absolutely dispise tranist date fishing. ESPECIALLY when I am listening to my discman and have clearly placed my giant bag on the seat next to me, yet they still try to have conversations with me. Most of which quickly lead to asking if I have a b/f.

I'm not saying I've never had a plutonic, or even flirty-yet-harmless conversation with people on transit. But when you are clearly hunting for a date or most likely a "date" (often one who is out of your league ie: half your age, twice your cleanliness...) and interrupt my music listening to ask me out when I've set up numerous barriers to keep you from doing so, thats just not cool.

[bebu*funfun]

i hear ya daisy! why are ppl always look like they're starving and on the prowl all the time. and especially when i say no the first time, dont bother askin the second/third or forth time. sorry randoms are too weird.. give it up guys. strangers need to stop being so creepy.

huh?

i would never want to meet anyone this randomly, the chances of actually finding something in common being as low as they are, make it pretty much pointless.
