Okay... tonight was a youth rally at Bro. Shoemake's church in San Jose.
My hair cooperated. :bigcheese:
I wore a new, emerald green silky jacket/top, and I *felt* pretty and just a touch elegant, even.
Then we had this awesome Holy Ghost service, and two of our young people were filled with the Holy Ghost for the first time, and another one or two were refilled, and I think I was glowing, as well. :teeth: It just felt GOOD.
:cloud9:
I hung out with the youth for a bit after service, and then headed home with a stop at the grocery store first.
I was just about home and remembered I needed to get gas for the trip across the bay tomorrow afternoon.
It's late at night as I'm about to pump my gas, and I hear across the parking lot, "someone is looking really nice tonight."
Usually I would ignore comments like that and pretend I didn't hear until the person went away, or pretend that they were directed to someone else, but for some reason, my head turned directly and immediately to where the voice came from, and I realized that he WAS talking about me. I smiled, thanked him and laughed, telling him that I had been to church in San Jose.
I turned to pump my gas as we continued to talk. He was dressed in a suit, so I asked where he had been all dressed up, and found out that he had been at work in the city, and was on his way home, about an hour away.
I was involved in the conversation and trying to pump gas, and the gas pump wouldn't work. I knew I had put in the card and everything was fine, but it just wouldn't work. So this guy says, "here, let me do that for you" and starts to walk over. At that very moment, I realized that I hadn't noticed that the card thingie was asking for my zip code. I put the zip code in just as he approached, and was like, "it's okay. I had just forgotten to put in my zip code." He said, "but I hate to see a pretty lady pumping gas. I want to help her out..."
:freaky2:
BOL! Elona! haha! thats great!
LOL love it!
*still laughing and shaking my head*
lol
Hahaha! I love it! If he was THAT persistant, and wasn't creepy about it, maybe you should have gone with him. ;)
Ya never know, Elona... maybe the guy will end up in church and then.... :freaky2:
:beret:
Hmmm... hitting on women while pumping gas.. I don't think I've ever asked a woman out while pumping gas.. hmm.. plus investigation material..
John :waving:
Isn't it nice to have that kind of attention? I'd be grinnin' for a week or more! :thumbsup2:
lol Sis. I'm STILL laughing about it. *shaking my head* It was just totally and completely hilarious to me. I was embarrassed/flattered/cracking up/totally shocked... It was just totally and completely unexpected, and just downright funny to me that this guy would seem to find me so attractive that he would want to take me out to dinner on the spot.
Ruby: I wasn't particularly attracted to him personally, though... Even if he WERE in church... I dunno... lol I guess I *was* quite intrigued that he seemed so completely sincere in his compliments and so totally attracted to me. Talk about feeling flattered. Problem is that I'm a "words of affirmation" girl.
John: You've never asked to pump gas for a lady that you found attractive? :eyebrow: You should try it! TRUST me! It's really quite effective. You might end up with her church card! :freaky2:
*ponders what to wear tomorrow... for Mother's Day...* yeah. That's it. I need to look my best in case we have visitors on Mother's Day! :hypocrite:
So... while we are talking about random men... :grin: there was this truck that had like 4 random guys in it that passed me while i was on my way to work, and then slowed down and unpassed me... and then sped up and passed me and waved... like 3 of the 4 did... and then a mile more down the road i had to get in the other lane to make a L turn, and they were in the R lane and the driver honked and grinned. :grin: I just grinned back and kept drivin to work... it was funny at the time though.
Uh huh. And just WHO were those guys talking about in the hotel hallway?? Riiiiiiiight. Tell me another one. :roll: I've got a bushel of evidence here, and you still pretend you don't see it. :P
:beret:
They were talking about you... you doofus! :grin:
Like I said, the evidence all points to YOU, and yet you still refuse to see it... you doofus! :D
:beret:
Elona.............don't just leave us hangin!!! Did he show up at church yesterday??
sharon
Elona...that was a AWESOME story...
I was laughing and flattered for you...
:pwink:
I for one have never had a guy offer to pump my gas...or a gal for that matter. My wife would not be happy.
