So on Saturday I was doing a demo at a store that now carries my product, and one of the employees of the store came over and introduced himself. We chatted for about 5 minutes, mostly about me being afraid my car would get towed and the location of my store. So yesterday I get an email from him that it was nice chatting with me and to let him know if I ever want to grab a beer. . . um, what? We talked for literally 5 minutes.  Did he just ask me out? What am I supposed to do about this?

    I would personally just not adress the beer invite and casually mention my fiance at some point so he knows and it doesnt adress the snafu. thats just me though.

    But the thing is, we're not friends. We met once, for 5 minutes. He only has my email address because he took one of my business cards. Should I write him back at all? FI thinks I should just ignore it altogether.

    Do you think maybe he wanted to talk business or something?

    No, he's like an assistant manager, I don't know why he would want to talk business. BTW, I was wearing my e-ring, which while it's not a traditional one, it's pretty noticeable, and at the very least looks like a wedding band.

    Hmm maybe for networking purposes?  Sounds like a date to me though!  I've had this issue before, I find that if you mention somethng about your fiance, usuallly does the trick.  And if it doesn't he's a creepshow and you can tell him to go to hell.

    If you do actually want to go, I wouldn't do it alone. Maybe ask a bunch more co-workers or friends so he gets the point.5 mins sounds like a short time to talk though, I'd just ignore the email and act like you never got it...

    I hate when this happens. It's difficult b/c you can't assume that you're getting asked out - b/c if you aren't then youll really look stupid (can you tell that's happened to me before??) 1. Guys are clueless - mine didn't know what finger the ring was suppose to go on so.....thinking the ering wouldn't mean anything to him. 2. - did he give a specific date for the beer? like others said maybe you could drop your FI in the email casually - like my fi and I have plans this weekend but maybe another weekend? 3. most importantly would you want to hang out with this guy as a friend anyway??? GL figuring this one out keep us posted!
