Things you shouldn't say to strangers...
Mood: Amused
I went to buy petrol today and when I went in to pay, the man behind the counter was really odd.
Firstly, he read my name off my ATM card, and called me by my first name while serving me. That's actually a reasonable thing to do, small servo, friendly service brings back customers. No worries.
Then, as I was putting my card away, he saw the diamond ring that I wear on the middle finger of my left hand. "Why are you wearing your ring on the wrong finger?"
Well, he'd rightly assumed that the ring was an engagement ring, and very observant, not on my wedding ring finger.
"Because he changed his mind."
"Oh."
Yup. Guess there isn't really much more to be said about that. He was obviously embarassed that he had asked, but really, what other reason is there to wear your ring on the wrong finger??
In other news: I had a completely surreal Friday night. I went out with Stace, and we headed into town, and it was a really interesting night.
Met the guy the Boy Boarder is currently living with. Talk about cute. Didn't talk to him much though, as I was deep in conversation with another guy. The other guy was lovely, and at the end of the night he asked for my number.
I said no. If you want to find me you will.
Men are so incredibly strange. He seemed very pleased with that as an answer, and off he went. Like a Knight to the crusades.
By the next day, he had not only tracked me down to my workplace (which wouldn't have been hard for him) but he had also found my home number. We are going out on Wednesday night, to his brothers girlfriends birthday. I'm interested in getting to know him a little better, but there isn't any spark there on my side. I hope that he can settle his behaviour down to a point where we can be friends, otherwise I won't be interested in seeing him again.
However, interestingly, the Boy Boarders mate also got hold of my phone number (the Boy Boarder provided it to him) and got in contact the next morning. I know its probably one of those strange woman things, but I'm really excited that someone who barely met me went to some lengths to contact me, say explicitly that they found me attractive and want to know me better. He asked if we could get together, so we are going out on Tuesday night.
I am somewhat more interested in the Boy Boarders mate, who, during the couple of moments that we spent talking to one another, struck me as being very funny and quite switched on. He's been txting me, and he spells correctly and doesn't abbreviate. Please see previous post as to why this got me smiling.
It's all happening here in Sassville. Which just goes to show that it is true what "they" say. I went out expecting to have a lovely night with Stace, and look what goes on!
