I was asked out on a date today

I went to the credit union today to deposit some money into my dwindling account. I have a bit of loyalty to the various clerks, cashiers, and tellers I encounter in the businesses I frequent, and today the teller was one of my favorites, so the semi-flirtateous small talk started right away.

She asked me the usual questions about my job hunt, how I was dealing with unemployment, etc. Then it happened.
"I have two tickets to the football game Sunday, and I'm alone. Would you like to go?"

My jaw dropped, then a big smile came across my face as the novelty of the situation dawned on me. I had to decline, since my wife would have a problem with me going on a date, but I letter her know I was very flattered by the offer.

I guess that for a fat, balding 42 year old guy, I still have it...

How nice for you! Nothing wrong with a little ego-boosting, huh?

Wow...I'm 17 and haven't been asked out on a date, ever. Well...not technically. Oh well, good for you.

Good for you.

And by the way she asked you out, (straight forward, honest, direct) you've got a winner!

Have fun.

I missed the post. What are the gory details? What, where, when, $$$??? Is this the event the Eiteljorg has hosted in years past, perchance?

On second thought, maybe not. I have to think of my fellow churchgoers. Confucius Say: He who fart in church sit in own pew.

I said that I was flattered, but my wife wouldn't be too hip with me going to the game.
