dudes at starbucks and trader joe’s

this is a not any one guy.  this is a collective group of men who i am VERY popular with. 

i would say i get asked out at starbucks at least once a week.  hit on 3 or 4 times.  maybe it is my no frills ventidripnoroom that is alluring to men.  maybe it says “low maintenance, economic, and easy.”  ha.  my coffee says i’m “easy.”  THAT is funny.

and at trader joe’s i feel like i am a super model.  which is ridiculous, because if i’m at trader joe’s i’m feeling lazy and buying mini tacos.  that is the only thing i consistently go there for because they are not as good anywhere else.  i highly recommend you check those suckers out.  anyway, i’m usually in sweatpants, a hoody, flip flops, hair is usually in buns or braids if i’m at trader joe’s.  maybe people who shop at trader joe’s find “homeless” sexy, i don’t know.  i think it is the glasses and hair and the mini tacos.  maybe it puts a “fun, not too serious or domesticated” look to me.  i’m not sure, but they LOVE it. 

i’ve never seriously entertained an advance from a dude at starbucks or trader joe’s.  they never seem sincere or something, but maybe i should. 

has anyone ever had luck with a random advance in a coffee shop, book or grocery store?

this morning at starbucks, i ordered my usual ventidripnoroom, and there was a very attractive gentleman behind me who ordered……the EXACT same thing.  the same way.  what are the chances?  julia, the girl at the counter, looked at me, looked at him and her eyes opened wide….like that meant something.

i’ll tell you what it means….we both like coffee.  which is why we are both in a starbucks at 615am.  as convenient as it would be to not have to keep cream for someone else’s coffee in my fridge, i think that is jumping the gun a bit, you? 

i was at a book store a few months ago and there was this hot guy a few rows away and we kept making eyes at eachother.  then i noticed he was in the “self help” section and i walked away.  i probably should have given him a shot because we do both like books, and who else am i gonna find that reads?

it is  not a far trip from: ”what? you want to win the lottery too?  that is SO weird.” 

the fact remains that relationships are hard.  people are complicated and thinking like this is lazy.  if it was that easy…it would be THAT EASY and this blog wouldn’t exist.
