Gave Hardware Store Guy My Number...
For the back story, check out my previous post about him.
Went in to buy potting soil and such, ended up chatting with the guy, C, for like 15 minutes--I was nervous he was going to get in trouble. He ended up running up my items at the till, and since it was some bulky stuff I didn't want to haul by hand, I said I'd bring the cart right back in. In my car, I wrote a note basically saying "I'm flirting with you all the time, and I don't even know if you're single. I'm going to quit doing that to avoid any potential awkwardness for you at work, but if you want to go out to lunch sometime, here's my number." Put away the cart, walked all the way to the back of the store and asked someone for him so I could give this to him. He opened it up and was reading as I turned around and walked away.
Phew! Glad to have that done. Regardless of what he does with it, honestly. I get too worked up over that crushy feeling, especially when it just makes me feel like a lonely loser if I don't follow through on it. So this way, no harm, no foul.
Meanwhile, I've found out he's a drummer, an identical twin, wants to be a renewable energy tech, going back to school part time for electrical stuff right now, and is still as cute as can be.

Have I ever had such a gesture positively acted on by the other party? *thinks* No, not really. I mean, the last time was a first-and-only date, but that's about as much as has ever been reciprocated when I've been the aggressor in the flirtation. Which I usually am.
