Ever happened to you?

[Beepboy]

Heya everyone!

So I was just shopping, getting all the food and stuff for this year's Christmas dinner and as I was standing in the line in front of the register, I met the glance of this really cute guy. He was standing in the next line and he had the most amazing eyes. I couldn't stop staring at him for a good few moments before I realized what I was doing and looked away.
Apparently, he saw something in/on me too (hope I didn't have any dirt on my nose or something like that.. :rofl, because I realized he kept staring at me for like two minutes before he had paid and left. Now I'm kinda wondering, should I have started a chat with him? I mean I possibly missed a chance here, so I'm wondering, what would you have done and what are your suggestions for future encounters like this one? Would you have chatted him up and should I have done / do that in the future?

Lookin forward to your answers :blushing:

Easy answer, and I'm not sure I would have been able to do it when I was younger (easier now I'm officially a dirty old man !), but I reckon you ought to have chatted to him to see where it lead ... note I'm not suggesting full cock out stuff in the checkout queue, but hey, if that should happen, lucky you ! In life it's generally the things you don't do that you regret most. Be happy.

Hah!

Well, thing is there's no way of telling if a guy's gay or not or why he was staring at me and I don't wanna end up getting punched up the nose because I misinterpreted anything.

Also, I'm not really the type for toilet-hook ups, I'm looking for a longterm-thingie. I'm 21 and I've had my fair share of boys and girls in bed. I just feel like getting into a good relationship now and that guy's eyes just knocked me out. It was more of a "damn I wanna stare into those and listen to that guy for hours, snuggling up infront of the fireplace" thingie, not a "hell yes I wanna get into his pants" moment. (Even though I still get plenty of those too of course :rofl

I have this almost every day i go shopping in the supermarket, because there a two realy cute young guys (22-25 years i think so). Everyday i try to NOT staring on them, but i can leave it ;o)

Sometimes i forget for what i am in the supermarket and accidentally buy the wrong things. Embarrassing !

This happened to me the other day while at the mall shopping. I was in a store looking at some jeans and sweaters and this incredibly hot guy was standing a few feet away and he was staring at me looking at the sweaters and when I looked up, he just nodded and smiled at me and I did the same. I'm very cautious in situations like this and I prefer to wait for the other guy to make conversation towards me because it could be misinterpret as someone just being courteous and a nice individual. However, just like yourself, I couldn't help but wonder on the way home, what would have happened if I did start a conversation with him??...The way I see it in the long run, is if it was meant to be, it would have happened...

Yeah I hate/love it when that happens. I was on the street the other day waiting for my ride home and this guy was watering plants close by. I looked at his back and he seemed to have a nice body. It was dark at night and there wasn't much light around so I couldn't see much but he seemed nice. After a bit he started to stare back at me intensely too so I hang around and he passed me by on the way to his house a couple of times until I said just HI and he stopped and asked me 'What did you say?' I got a bit scared but answered calmly 'Just greeting you' and he said 'Oh ok, Hi'. He half smiled and left.. he got back a while ago and said 'Well this is my house and it's cold so.. we shouldn't be on the street' I followed him but he said 'Oh no, sorry, my family is inside.. maybe another time?' I just said 'Ok, bye' and rushed away but he stopped me and asked me for my phone number.
Next morning and couple of days he kept ringing my mobile phone for no special reason. I was kinda busy with school so didn't reply but he explained later that he wanted to meet me a bit more and asked me if I was gay and if I knew he was gay too and stuff like that. It got a bit boring 'cos he got obsessed about how we 'met' and got all weird too so I stopped talking to him.
However I don't regret it happening, lifted my ego a bit haha. I know though, since that's happened a couple of times that isnt always easy.. but as JW4833 says

if it was meant to be, it would have happened...

As for you specific situation, I agree with MeatMate. Go say hello and see if that leads to a conversation (just like you would have a conversation with someone you just met at a party). He seemed clearly friendly; and what's the worst that's going to happen? If he blows you off, you're no worse off than when you went in the store. (No one is going to punch you out for saying hello and asking how things are going - especially if they have been smiling at you a few minutes before.)

OK - true story:

I was at a special event symphony concert with my boyfriend at the time, and the lights came up for intermission. People started to get up walk up the aisle. About six rows in front of me, several guys stood up together and turned around and chatted for a second before heading for the aisle. One guy caught my eye (closely trimmed beard; sparkling blue eyes). He saw me and something electric seemed to pass between us. I tried not to look, but I couldn't help stealing glances (which he met) as he came up the aisle. But I wasn't available, and even if I wanted to I could hardly vault over my boyfriend and introduce myself. He went outside and that was that.

Later that year I broke with with my boyfriend, and sometime after I was introduced to a guy and we immediately connected and we talked for hours. When we got together again, we again talked for a couple of hours walking through the woods. At one point he mentioned a friend who played in the symphony. I brought up that I was at the special event the symphony did, and he said that he was there, too.

All of a sudden it clicked - he was the guy I saw at intermission! "I saw you there! I saw you coming up the aisle." He looked at me and recognized something. Then he leaned in and kissed me (for the first time). :heart: That began a long relationship with a guy who was truely my soul mate.

Sometimes big things start with just a small moment.
