Michigan Roll Call

Have a great day, everyone! Sun is up and looking so good, bright...yay!

I am sooo late getting to my desk...the kids are not going to like school spilling over into the afternoon!
 
whew! Most of the foosball fun is over.

shoo! shoo! You can all go back to whence you came.
 
I like football season, it's fun to invite the guys over and test out some comfort food type recipes on them. I don't care about the game, their antics are enough amusement for me. Nice excuse to catch up after baseball season has winded down.
 
First fall on the other side of the state, Beatles white album seems appropriate today... all week really... "if these trends continue..."

Charlotte

Ok Michiganders, a question: I had to drive thru Charlotte today and I saw a cute young redhead trying to push a stroller full of groceries and a 2 year old down lansing road from wallmart. But a wheel had fallen off her stroller. I stopped, loaded her and all her things into my truck and drive her a mile or so to her home where I met her equally cute brunette room mate. I helped her unload and drive away with just a thank you.

Am I chivalrous, stupid ... Or both?

Not "stupid", but I think there was potentially an opportunity that showed itself to you and you didn't aggressively capitalize on it like you could have. Nothing you can do about it now except keep it in mind for next time.

Depends... Did you get a phone number?
 
Then why do I feel so stupid?

I don't know you, but you got a number without being rude. You did a good deed without expecting anything, and you can sleep well without feeling guilty about not taking advantage of the situation. Call next week, ask if the wheel was fixed. That goes along way to getting a second opportunity to Ummmm broaden the horizon. Lol

I agree.

Perhaps you'll see either of them again, and then have something to strike up a conversation with and go further. Don't think back, keep thinking ahead. :)

Good advice BFG
 
The question is: What would you have suggested?
You did the right thing--which is reward in itself--and got an opening for a possible opportunity down the road.

As they said, call in a little while and ask about the wheel. Then ask her about her interests, move the conversation to something general and cordial and friendly, then move to the latest movies, and would she like to go see one with you? And see what happens.

She may have a boyfriend. She may have a baby-daddy. She may be a lesbian, and the roommate is her partner. You don't know her situation, and until you do, take it slow. But move forward on it, if it's something you want to pursue.

All she can say is "no", and if she does you're no worse off than you were before asking. And if she says "yes"...:)

I do know she shares custody with her 'baby dady' and she isn't romanticly involved with him. But it still could be very complicated.
 
Always leave them wanting more... and sometimes showing a bit of cool (or even potential disinterest) can make you seem more mysterious and/or attractive.

Sometimes.
