ok, ive just moved to sydney a couple of days ago for a month or so before i leave to travel.
i went shopping today in pitt st mall and there was this gorgeous singer/busker - the best i had ever heard in my life (did anyone on here see him? i want his name badly so i can look out for him in the future), so i sat down for maybe 20 mins on one of those pole thingies listening to him while drinking a Boost.
i then got up and walked down pitt st mall going into a fair few shops on the way and then kept going down george to martin place where i always have lunch. (keep in mind, this was a fair walk and took maybe 25 mins)
anyway, (this is where my actual story kicks in) as i was waiting at the lights, this strange guy who i had never in my life seen walked up to me. He was pretty attractive (although nothing too spectacular), tanned, really good body...and really OLD (ok, im thinking like 28). I didnt even see him come up to me until he says:
Him: "Hi...this is a bit strange....but ahhh...hmmm...ahhh...are you single?"
Me:
Him: "I saw you in Pitt St listening to the musician..and just had to ask"
Me:
Him: "I dont normally do this kind of thing, but I knew this would be my only chance" (im serious, he was actually saying this stuff to me)
Me: DID YOU FOLLOW ME????
Him: "ahhh...hmmmm...yeah....."
Me: *holy shit holy shit holy shit*
Him: "Lets have a drink"
Me: .....
Him: "ok um....this is really hard for me, so, can I have your number?"
Me: "ahhh i gotta run. See ya!"
Ok, so moral of the story...he seemed pretty nice, obviously confident, good-looking, ie there was nothing superficially wrong with him. So, in practically ANY other situation I would have seriously considered him. NOT when I was stalked that way or then bounced upon like that in the street. I remember a couple of threads in this forum where guys asked if they should ask girls out just after seeing them. My answer is NO. For the next couple of hours I was so scared I went and sat in the toilets, then walked around some blocks, always looking around to see if he was following me again. Although on one level I felt very flattered, at the same time it just felt wrong.
How would other girls in my situation have reacted? would you have taken an opportunity to actually get to know him? (note: the last thing i want atm is a boyfriend.) but just curious if other girls would have run away like i did.
