Will someone please remove the "flirt with me like mad but whatever you do DO NOT ask me out" sign from my forehead?!
Blockbuster Video, 7:15 pm:
I walk in, joke around with a cute-ish guy about "Zombie Honeymoon" and he suggests it's a "no". I ask if he has any other suggestions.....this leads to an escorted walk around the store pointing out movies he liked or didn't like and me doing the same (only I don't watch movies much anymore so he's doing lots of talking, which I like cause I'm normally a jabbermouth). He checks out the marriage finger BLATANTLY. it's empty. He works into the first 10 minutes of conversation that he's a BACHELOR and manages to get his name in there somewhere. I manage to get my name in, mention "the ex" to make sure he knows that not only am I ringless but I'm also boyless at the moment and we end up chatting till around 8:00, IN BLOCKBUSTER. I pull out the extra cute smile, the coy little stance with hand in back pocket. I manage to drop MORE THAN ONCE that I don't go out and haven't been out "in ages" and I know I really should go out more but my friends have all been moving all over the country lately and I have "no one to go out with". nothing. crickets. The lady yells "I can help whoever's next" he says "ladies first" and let's me go ahead. I get the dumbass bitch who doesn't know how to ring up movies. It takes me twice as long to ring up. As he's leaving he says "well Emily, have a great night" SMILE. I reply "you too" TOTALLY CUTE SMILE. He exits, gets into his truck and drives away....
WHAT THE HELL?! Unless I'm insane I gave as many signals as I could and ample opportunity to be asked out. Is this crazy world?!
DISCLAIMER: I realize I could have asked him out, but seriously I'd like to get asked out FOR ONCE. Is that so wrong?

Zombie Honeymoon? I must see this.
GG: Amen.
Joe: yeah well you enjoy it and let me know how it is.
He totally wanted to ask you out. The one thing that you may have said that turned him off was that you "don't go out much." What I've learned is if you give any man (when he's sober that is) an inkling that you may possibly in any way might ever mention a subtle "no" after he asks you out - he'll keel over and die.
He'd rather leave with a smile, than shrivel up dead in the drama aisle at block buster.
That's why he didn't ask you out.
WELL HELL. Ok, well i'm going back every night for the next month and when I see him, I'm just going to write my number on his hand and leave.
I'll go get some alcohol and some cotton swabs... Now bring your forehead over...
Thanks Labbie, I always know you got my back.
I think Colonialave is right on the money. I hope you didn't miss your opportunity. Nah...he'll be back because he's kicking himself in the ass right now for not asking.
Well I have to go take the movies back tonight so we'll see:)
You know, they say the really attractive girls never get dates, because the guys can not seem to believe that they would actually say yes to an offer. That could be your problem?
You know I have seen around the blog someone called "the homely sex therapist". I am not sure if she is an ametuer or a pro therapist, but she may be able to help you.
