chet · July 20th, 2005, 12:17 PM

met her at the laundromat about a block away from my place. About 5' 6", sandy blonde hair, gray eyes and slim build.
I noticed her looking at me with those piercing eyes while we were putting our clothes in- she was using the machines right on the other side from me. She sat a couple of seats away from me and I wanted to read my new book. Another lady was talking loudly on her cell phone and I was trying to concentrate on my book. The girl was making noises (sighs, coughs etc) but I wanted to read the book.
As we were putting our clothes in the dryer the lady who works at the laundromat came up and asked me "Have you ever been married" and stuff like that then she went over and talked to the girl. I figured they knew each other or something.
Later the lady came back and asked me something and got the girl in the conversation. Next thing I know she's sitting next to me. A few minutes later the laundromat lady says she's getting off work and winks at me. I talked to the girl for about a half an hour. As I was leaving i gave her my phone number because she had her cell phone there and told her to call me.

Think she'll call?

"Think she'll call?"

Even if she doesn't, you still win. You're not even out any money for a date, and you got to talk to a pretty girl for awhile. Unless she was dumb as a box of rocks, you made out OK on the deal. If she does call, BONUS!

Jake

P.S.- Did you get a look at her laundry? I'm not being creepy, I honestly believe you can tell alot about a person by the underwear they choose.

Poppatwang · July 20th, 2005, 01:05 PM

you should have taken her number.

I agree, you should've taken her's, then you could phone her when you wanted rather than wait in angst to see if she calls.

agent2x4 · July 20th, 2005, 01:16 PM

I'm sure if she doesn't call, you'll see her doing laundry again sooner or later.

She probably won't call...most woman don't have the guts even when they want to.

I disagree. I was talking about this with a friend the other night. When I was single, I always gave the woman my number and didn't take hers unless she offered it. And yes, the ones that were interested would call back. One time I gave my number to a woman and there was a message on my answering machine by the time I got home. We've been together thirteen years now.

Smokin' Joe Picante · July 20th, 2005, 01:51 PM

It depends on the situiation and the manner in which you do it, but I think giving out your number to her is a great move! Things are scary out in the dating world these days (from what I see and hear amongst my single friends) and I think giving out your number shows confidence on your part (if you're not too cocky about it) and safely puts the ball in her court.

If she calls, you look like the perfect gentleman you are, and can tell her how glad you are she phoned. If she doesn't, it was what it was, and you're not out anything emotionally or otherwise. :D

There are absolutely no rules when it comes to women and this sort of thing. Some girls like to feel pursued and would never ever ask for your number, no matter how interested they were. Some will never give you their number until they know you a little better. And there's no way of telling which way you prefer unless you really know them.

At my last office job I was surrounded by about 70% women. There were women there that seemed completely modern and progressive and independant in every way you could imagine except for romance, which they were very traditional about. And there were some women that seemed very traditional in every sense other than romance, and they hated the traditional stuff.

Don't even bother guessing, it'll just drive you nuts.

I'm not waiting in angst. This was out of the blue- it's not like I've been seeing her for months and finally got her to talk to me. Besides, she told me where she works and she lives in the same area I do. She seemed kind of hesitant to give out her phone number anyway and I decided to put the ball in her court.

I think she called this morning but my co-worker answered the phone when it rang and noone would answer him. She might've thought I gave her the wrong number.

I don't have an answering machine and keep my cell phone turned off at home. I gave her my work phone number.

Dana · July 20th, 2005, 02:17 PM

Kinda funny, I had a similar situation happen last Saturday night.

Went to a local bar. Started chatting with this slim, good looking blonde at the bar. I was pretty drunk.

Two hours later we were at my place.

Around 2am I asked her "What was your name again?"

Hmmm, I wonder if she'll call.

True story, no lie.

chet · July 20th, 2005, 02:19 PM

Why is that? I mean about women "having the guts to call".

inertian · July 20th, 2005, 03:29 PM

...bring her to the Jam!

timgreene · July 20th, 2005, 03:52 PM

the fact that you gave her your work number is gonna make her think you are married, or have girlfriend. You wont hear from her.

chet · July 20th, 2005, 04:02 PM

Ian: I will if everything goes according to plan. ;-)

TimGreene: Wow- I never thought of that.

I think she might know way more about me than I know about her. The grapevine around here is too good. These girls talk about anything and everything to each other.

agent2x4 · July 20th, 2005, 04:23 PM

What I meant is most women are socially unaccostomed to being the ones to initiate "second" contact. Some react easily towards it...most won't. At least most women of my era.

Younger women are much more brazen now than they were when I was out there back in the day. And that's a shame. (for me)! ;)

Nah, don't get to worrying yet. Give it a week. Keep positive thoughts.

Poppatwang · July 21st, 2005, 10:09 AM

to do another load of laundry. The gal who works
the laundromat could be a liaison.

chet · July 21st, 2005, 10:32 AM

Yeah, I thought about that. She seems nice and could get some valuable info for me.

Was the bar "Alex's" in Stoughton? yuk yuk

Yea, that place rocks. Too far without a designated driver though. The C Pub is near my house so when necessary I can stagger home.

chet · July 21st, 2005, 10:55 AM

I went up to the Cape Cod Canal fishing a few weeks ago and visited "Alex's". They have a bunch of Brazilian dancers there that are out of this world! As well as the American gals.

If you do come be sure to let us know. Perhaps a beer and an eye full would be in order.

chet · July 21st, 2005, 11:48 AM

Yeah, my eyes are always like this:

Hey, we should try to set up a little Ma. guitar jam. I'm going to get a room up there and some of us could bring our guitars and play a little. There's also a bunch of guys from other guitar forums that would probably be up for jamming too.

chet · July 21st, 2005, 01:41 PM

"Did she call yet?"

No and the suspense is killing me!

BWAAHAAAHAAA!!!

I feel like a dork wondering if some chick is going to call me. :-P
