Another update We resumed contact and he told me that he wants to hangout soon. He asked me if I am free in couple days so we can hangout.Is there any way this could lead into something more than just a hook up? ---

I don’t even see where alcohol was involved. I think I was born 20 years too early! I learned in another thread that the standard courtship behavior these days is the exchange of nude selfies, often before the first date. These two kids are total prudes. ---

Dismemberment and disemboweling are also possibilities, as well as your basic garden variety rape and battery. (Think you can’t be raped if you’ve said yes? Yeah … that’s where the battery comes in.) ---

You really think you can get any valid answer to this from a group of strangers that know nothing about you (other than you jog and attract drivers of chevy cobalts) or him (other than he seems attracted to you, atleast for a hookup, and that he drives a chevy cobalt) ?

Was this an offer to just “hangout” or did he say “I’d like to take you to dinner”? What exactly does “hangout” mean today? Since your a jogger has he offered to go jogging with you? ---

I think that in order to keep this thread interesting OP needs to take control and move this along quicker. Clearly she is DTF… assuming she is a indeed a female and this is indeed a true story. Who knows, maybe he’ll join and post a story about a psycho sexual encounter with a jogger after handing his number off while sitting in his red Pontiac G6. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > You guys are just a hamperfull of wet blankets. Go away. Agreed! Stop chasing people away from the boards, it makes for a dull and boring experience if just the same six men are debating politics and rape. As to the OP. Sure, giving me his number while I am jogging is a little bit creepy, but not so bad that I’d be horrified, especially since he drove directly away afterward. BUT, I don’t think you are going to see a serious relationship out of a guy that asks you sexual stuff out of the gate. You might get a good ride though…pun definitely intended. 🙂 ---

True, but… you know, it’s cute the first couple of times some kid prances in with a towel-cape around his neck and everybody oohs and ahhs. After a few thousand times, you get pretty sick of pretending he’s Superman. ---

You might get a good ride though…pun definitely intended. 🙂 If we give the OP the benefit of the doubt, then “she” sounds about 15 years old. Do we really want to encourage her to “get a good ride” from a 23 year old? ---
