Nice girl inIkea today

Kinda clocked a nice looking girl in Ikea today. It was at the fast food section. Straight away we locked looks. Only thingwas she was another couple of friends. Being on my own I didn't have the charlie to chat her up. and was a bit unsure, although we 'met '? at the ketchup and mustard and almost bumped into each other. I reckon i lost my chance. it's one of those times when you have to open you mouth and say something. Shame i had nothing to say.

    I thought you didn't see the point of relationships.

    Oh dear. Reminds me of the James Blunt song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehToBz7zhqE ...and despite his lyric to the contrary, he didn't have a plan either.....

    That's true :D

    But if he's just after a roll in the hay, there are far easier ways of getting it than relying on eye-meets in Ikea...

    What a shame l thought that story was going to turn into the thread from yesterday - about the chances of getting pregnant.

    I'm gutted it was deleted.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    That thread made me giggle like a schoolgirl :D He had quite a way with words didn't he. We'll never know if she was pregnant now.
  • Exact same thing happened to me in a Starbucks in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago - we ended up giving each other furtive glances for a good 20 minutes. He was gorgeous. We ended up colliding at the bin. Most romantic moment of my life :/

    Seriously though. You should have said something (and so should I). Asking for help with something is always an easy one, "Excuse me, do you have the time by any chance?" or, "I couldn't help but notice that cake you are eating, would you recommend it?" or........pay her a compliment! Seriously. Even if we aren't interested, alot of us wouldn't mind being told we have a nice smile or look nice. Just be confident when you do it, like you aren't bothered by the outcome. Don't act weird or desperate. If she's friendly try and get her talking.

    Once a guy said to me, "Nice coat, Dude." I said thanks but felt a bit confused as I'm not a dude (and it was a very girly coat) and then he said, "No, seriously, Dude, its a well nice coat, you proper suit it." At this point, I realised I was being hit on by a Mancunian hippy. Highly amusing and made me smile.
