Did I just get chatted up?!

Posting as confused/ annoyed/ potentially happy ?!

Just went to TESCO to get some bits and bobs and couldn't find bloody paper plates (don't ask!!) and wondered up this aisle and conscious of handsome man staring at me as I try my damn best not to look and he then says, excuse me, can I ask you a question. To which I say yes and he says can you tell me the difference between bio and non bio washing powder!

I couldn't tell him (I know, wtf?!) I got embarrassed and I said I ask my mum that thing and he then said he would too but didn't have his mobile... I said something about needing to go and scurried off as he smiled widely and stared again

He was GORGEOUS . So was he chatting me up?! Am I a fool ?! Oh well!!!

lol at all the people trying to spot the bio bloke , you should have placed a tracking device him so you could find him again Grin

Bio bloke! Ha ha, love it!!

I would clearly have no idea what to say if I ever do see h again!

maybe he's waiting until there's another laundry related conundrum.

Chaoscarriesonagain · 29/08/2013 10:19

He was looking at the huge boxes of persil, so we could be some time!!!

Loving it.

Today I got a weird look from the pharmacist.
Maybe I should go back tomorrow and ask for another medicine.
I'm thinking some gel for muscle injuries that he'll need to help apply. Grin

I would clearly have no idea what to say if I ever do see h again!
"So, did you ever find out the difference between bio and non-bio"
(bio uses enzymes, whereas non-bio is only chemicals)

However, if he was looking a huge boxes, maybe he is a family man.

He did say he would normally call his mother dear to ask (I assumed from this he was single) but that he didn't have his phone!

Good point, but he wouldn't want to mention the wife, would he?
On the other hand, a wife would have handed him a list of stuff to buy.
(and hope he's not a mummy's boy)

If he buys in bulk it is a good sign that he values money.

Go back the same time the same day and keep your eyes open. Wink

He might still be single even if getting a huge box of Persil.

I usually buy a big box of Daz or Bold wash powder for myself if on offer (sometimes 4 quid) because it works out cheaper than the smaller box which can be around 3 pounds something.

Plus, they've stopped putting the little metal pull out spout in the small boxes and have a perforated punch out hole instead, which I hate, because it lets in moisture from the air and the powder goes all lumpy.

With the big box I just open up the lid and use my plastic measuring scoop to dig some powder out from the top. Smile

That concludes my single man's guide to using washing powder.

I look at women all the time, discreetly and shyly,usually quick furtive sideways glances, so that they won't notice too much. But I can't help or even stop myself looking because I just love them so much and feel constantly attracted to women in supermarkets, in the street, in offices, anywhere, in fact.
I do make the odd remark about a product now and then, to a nice, friendly looking woman but not in the hope she'll be remotely interested in me although she'll normally respond in a friendly enough way. If I get a little smile from her that's the best I can hope for and I'm thankful for that because I just know from long experience that she won't be attracted to me or want me. Neither when I was single nor when married. No woman has ever been flustered or expressed all these regrets about an encounter with me that the young woman who started the thread did.
You see, although I'm not ugly, I'm not tall, handsome or even young, although I'm fit and slim. But it was just the same when I was young. Not the slightest difference. So it's definitely not down to age. Women don't welcome the fact that I'm finding them attractive and wanting them.

Life in general, and how women treat you and feel about you when you look at them in the supermarket must be a completely different experience if you're a tall and handsome man. I wonder what the heck it feels like to know a woman is aroused by your looks and body and is looking at you appreciatively!
It must be dead easy for a man to be confident because to know women are immediately physically attracted to you must send your confidence and self esteem sky high.
I'm not telling you out of self pity, just a secret and honest confession about exactly how I've felt inside for a life time. But I never say this to anyone.
I just wish I had been born that handsome man looking at the washing powder in the supermarket!

FannyFifer · 31/08/2013 12:18

Anyman, that is very sad, u maybe need to work on your confidence.

Personally, I would never be attracted to a tall, typically handsome man. It takes all sorts.

I prefer shortish, older, bald/shaved head, not attracted to pretty boys whatsoever.

EddieVeddersfoxymop · 31/08/2013 21:08

Wouldnt be a small town in the north, beginning with an E would it???? I got randomly chatted up by a chap in a builders merchant in a small, NE Scotland town beginning with E recently......he was vvvvvv hot and gorgeous but clearly did not notice my reference to DH when I asked for the fixings he needed. He was yum, very complimentary to me and my car (pride and joy emoticon)

Chaoscarriesonagain · 01/09/2013 09:42

anyman I make this your dare of the day, go speak to that woman in the supermarket, coffee shop or queue at the bank- what's the worst that can happen!

You sound absolutely lovely, please don't be so scared of the good in people. I sense you've been let down in the past from your post. I know it's not easy to be confident, but you must have self belief and believe in the greater good in yourself.

You don't know I wouldn't think you handsome in the supermarket either!!

Chin up !
