So I went to Barnes and Noble on Friday. I go there a lot to do my writing. So I sit down and this guy starts talking to me. OMG we had so much in common. Anyway, we end up talking for 6, yes I said 6 hours. We talked about everything from match.com to eastern religions to SRD to role playing games to my mortgage to my writing. 6 hours! and we werent even sitting at the same table. So B&N is closing. I am sure we have a connection. we are packing up and we start walking toward the exit. I say something like "are you leaving?" implying lets walk out together.
He says No, he has some shopping to do. Says bye and walks away. Ok so what happened? Maybe it's wrong of me to assume that just because a single guy talks to me for 6 hours that he might be attracted. Am I off base?
Post a "missed connections" on cragislist with as many details as possible, and maybe if he doesn't see it someone he knows will.
OR do this: abcnews.go.com/Technology/WaterCooler/story?id=3828525&page=1 it's worked at least once.
Or maybe he's a regular and one of the B&N employees might know who he is? (If it makes you feel weird to ask about him maybe say that he dropped something and you want to return it to him? Or something equally cheesy. It's ok to lie in the name of romance, right?
)
I think that when it comes to dating, it's up to the ladies to make it happen. I wouldn't have dated half the guys I have if I didn't take initiative and put it out there myself. A lot of (most?) guys are either to shy, intimidated or clueless to ask a girl for her number, or out to coffee or whatever. (Some male watcher is going to give me crap for this, but I say it with love!)
I think talking to a stranger for six hours definitely implies a connection/attraction, but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows how to handle it.
