I never got hit on when I was single...

And now it seems like it happens quite often. lol. FI and I were at the mall today and I was waiting outside of a store for him and I got chatted up by a very attractive well dressed guy. Sigh...I love FI very much and am so happy everything ended up the way it has, but why couldn't things like this happen to me when I was single?

The mall trip was successful though. The first big snowfall prompted the need for a new pair of UGGs. They are nice and warm and snuggly =)

    I know! When I was single I had to make the move to meet guys. But I was asked out for coffee/dinner three times in a week at work once. I do not dress attractive at work, nor do I wear makeup or do my hair. But think about it this way "ya still got it". Wink

    Yay UGGs! What color did you get?

    I know exactly how you feel. I was working an event the other night, and this very drunk, very well-dressed guy got his friend to ask me out for him.  Sorry buddy, I'm engaged.  (And even if I wasn't, how OLD are you that your FRIEND has to ask me out for you...?)

    Those boots are cute!!

    I never got hit on when I was single and still don't. FI tells me I always look terrified whenever I'm out in public though (I'm insanely shy), so I like to think it's that rather than they don't find me attractive, lol. I've only ever been asked out in person 3 times and it was never to my face. Always email or text or through a friend, lol. Thank God for online dating! lol

    Cute I hate that when you finally break in a pair of shoes they roll over and die like that. My rain boots were so awesome and then they split right over the toe for no reason, they're pink duct taped right now because I haven't found a good replacement.

    There was a guy that I thought was absolutely sweet and handsome, and to this day he's one of my best friends. Only found out he was interested in me AFTER I was already in a committed relationship.

    Boys are silly like that.

    Fi and his married co-worker have a theory on this: When you're committed to someone, you're usually fairly confident when you go out. You're not looking to meet anyone, you're just there for a good time, to chill with your friends, dance with your partner, etc. That confidence and general relaxed attitude shows, and is attractive.

    I agree with that theory. My single friends are always talking about how doing this or that makes them seem desperate. And I often think, "All this thought and discussion about your plan of action seems desperate. If you like him, let him know--if not be clear and say no thanks." I can't imagine what they actually behave like as they mingle with other singles.

    Of course what the hell do I know?

    I actually used to get hit on relatively frequently before BF, and now I don't that often. At all, really. I guess I'm the weird reversal!

    Although, funny story  - one night BF, sis, FBIL and I went out somewhere, and craved some late-night McDonald's on the way home. The guys were in one car, so we drove "next to" them through the drive-thru. A car full of guys behind them thought that we were checking them out, and started honking and hollering things like, "Hey baby, where are you girls headed? You look pretty cute!"

    At which point BF (all 265 lbs of solid muscle that he is) stepped out of my tiny Corolla yelling, "You guys got anything else to say to my GF?"

    All hollering in the other car stopped abruptly. One brave guy just said, "Nope."

    FBIL looked at BF and said, "I don't think they expected you to get out of this tiny car...."

    I guess when you're in love or with someone, you just have that glow that others find attractive. :) I never got hit on when I was in high school, but during my freshman year of college, I had a few guys confessing their attractions towards me. Now, I don't really get hit on, or I don't really care enough to notice haha.

    Maybe it's because I don't care enough to go out of my way to make new guy friends? Usually when a guy tries to strike up a conversation, I keep it to small, short sentences.

    And ommmgggg! I love UGGs! It makes my feet so warm and snuggly! My boyfriend always makes fun of me for it, but I don't care! He doesn't know what he is missing out.
