Yesterday while grocery shopping, 2 separate guys totally hit on me. I was completely taken off guard as I as was solely focused on purchasing my groceries.
I've seen both of the guys at my gym before and had even talked to one of them but never the other. Like I mentioned, I was just minding my business and this cute guy walks by (the one that I'd spoken to before) and we exchange pleasantries. Well he keeps looking at me and smiling. He pushes his cart over towards me and asks me if I was still going to the gym. He told me that he had changed gyms. Then we just chit-chatted for a while. He suggested that we get together sometime and talk. Mind you that we've only be casual acquaintances up until now and I haven't seen him in over a year. I've always thought he was cute and I definitely have gotten gay vibes from him before. He told me that he recently moved and we actually only live about 2 miles from each other now. He kept smiling at me and stood really close to me. He gave me his e-mail address and told me to contact him for coffee sometime. As we flirted with each other, I was ignited inside. My heart was fluttering. I find him very attractive and it just made me feel good to believe that he was attracted to me also.
So, we said good-bye and I continued my shopping while beaming inside with excitement. I ran into another acquaintance, (female), and we converse for a few moments and then I finish up my shopping. Well as I'm approaching the check-out line, I see this guy that used to go to the gym about 5 years ago. Haven't seen him since and we never talked even when I did see him. In fact, I never even knew his name. As we're walking by each other he speaks to me like he had seen a long lost friend. So I casually respond and he's like all of a sudden super friendly and tells me that he can tell I still go to the gym and how good I look. He talked non-stop and told me that he had to quit working out because of some long complicated injury. So, I'm just listening and being nice and telling him I'm glad he's doing better. He's talking so much like he's nervous and he started blushing. He then apologizes to me for taking up my time as he can see I'm trying to check out. Before he walked away, he shook my hand and told me his name. Then he said he was the only one by that name in the phone book. I got the hint loud and clear. He wants me to call him. He is very nice but he's just not the type of guy I'd be interested in. Wouldn't mind being his friend but I don't want to call him and risk his thinking I was interested in anything more than friendship. What do you guys think?
But I'm definitely e-mailing the first guy. Seems like something might finally be happening in my dormant love life. It's so weird. It's been a long, long time since anyone has hit on me and yesterday I get one guy's e-mail and another's phone number in less than 25 minutes. I'm humbled and flattered to say the least.
Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I was looking at myself in the mirror and I thought to myself "I like what I see". I don't say that arrogantly at all. It's just that I've had a life long struggle with low self esteem and have really made considerable progress in the last few years in that area of my life and it just felt good to be able to look at the person in the mirror and be content. Perhaps when you start seeing the good in yourself and are self accepting, then and only then, will others start seeing the good in you.
Ok, ok, enough of my analytical ranting. I've got a cute guy to catch here. I don't want to appear desperate. Tell me what to say to him in my e-mail without sounding dorky. As always, thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Take care guys.
