I'm not sure what just happened...

[winterbadger]

I went to the annual meeting for our supporters' club today. There were speeches by the officers. There was a speech by the new coach. There were tables for various club activities. There was a raffle to benefit charity.

One of the people selling raffle tickets was a rather cute girl I'd not seen around before. We chatted. After the club meeting, there was a party at a nearby nightspot. I played darts for a while. I had several beers. The cute girl showed up. I and several other people chatted with her. She escaped. I went to the bar. She came over to sit with me. I asked for her number. She gave it to me. We talked for about another hour or so. We traded various information, including our ages (she's 29; I'm well, 42--that didn't deter her). We went over to the garage where we'd both left our cars. We established which nights she did stuff and which nights she would be free. I kissed her good night (chastely--on the forehead). We both went home.

*blinks in confusion* I think I just hit on someone. In a bar. And I apparently have been encouraged to ask her for a date.

This is unfamiliar territory. I'm all confuzzled...

Awww, that's very sweet :)

I mean, it's baffling. She hung out with *me*. On purpose. I clearly indicated my intent to ask her out, and she seemed to think that might be a good idea. She likes football (the proper kind). I'm a bit mystified...

Don't question it, just go with it! ;)

[winterbadger]

Great icon. :-)

[dativesingular.livejournal.com]

My icon's so cunning you could brush your teeth with it. ;)

You're a cool and groovy guy, its not that mystifying. Or, she was very drunk ::grin:: Only kidding :)

[winterbadger]

Drunk, almost certainly! :-) Oh, wait, she didn't have anything until after she came over to sit with me, so that explanation clearly won't work. :-)

*tuts at you* I don't see what's mystifying - you're interesting, warm and generally pretty cool :) I do appreciate what you're saying about finding it hard to get your head round though...

By the way, what do you consider 'proper' football?

That's awfully nice of you, thank you! :-) I occasionally believe those things, but every once in while when I do and wish to persuade some appealing member of the opposite sex that not only are those things true, but that she might find it nice to have me around on a regular basis, she often seems to be resistant to the idea. So, a bit baffling (though certainly pleasant!) when someone seems to actually buy the idea.

By the way, what do you consider 'proper' football?

What we in the colonies call soccer, rather than the game that people here call football in which the feet are rarely ever used to play the ball. Rugby is certainly football as well, but I think if it more just as rugby thena rugby football.

Just call her up and say, "I think you are cute and was wondering if you'd like to go for ____(fill in blank)_________ sometime."

Easy Peasy! (Of course people tell me this all the time too and I can't do it! ;))

[winterbadger]

I'm going to give it a try! :-)

go for it :0) She obviously likes the look of you (and who wouldn't) so if you like her you should fix a date ASAP. oday, in fact :0)

[winterbadger]

She obviously likes the look of you (and who wouldn't)

Awwww.... :-) Thank you!

so if you like her you should fix a date ASAP. Today, in fact :0)

I will! 9 am is probably a little early to call, but I'll definitely ring her today. :-)

[janewilliams20.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Even if nothing comes of it, that's a nice ego-boost.

[winterbadger]

Exactly!

[tispity.livejournal.com]

Hey, good for you! Don't question it, I know it's hard to feel confident about this sort of thing, but her interest shows that you should be confident in yourself, so just go with it and enjoy where it takes you!

[winterbadger]

Yes, I guess I'd better! :-) I'm just so surprised. And pleased. :o)

Well that explains the Tuesday conflict
