So on Monday I noticed a classmate of mine was cute and gave him a smile. I had no idea what his name was or any other information about him other than he was in my Astronomy class.
Today, I was heading towards the bus stop when I saw that he was also headed in my direction. I knew that he normally went the other way across campus, so I stopped and pretended I was putting my pop bottle in my bag so he could catch up. He came up along side me and “Excuse me, miss…” He then introduced himself, stating that he was in my Astronomy class and we shook his hands. He paid me a compliment and asked for my number. I was only too delighted to give it to him and we parted ways shortly after.
As soon as I got home, I related the story to some friends of mine. Everyone else thought it was strange that he said ‘Miss’ when addressing me. Aesiron said, “Miss is something you call a young girl or old woman, not someone you want to date.” But I thought it was cute and terribly polite.
So… what do you all think? Girls, if a guy you liked called you ‘Miss’ would you think it cute or strange?
Some guys can pull off talking that way, others sound like dorks. He knows which he is, and he gauged YOUR possible response correctly. He was being funny.
I’d find it cute and endearing, if I were in fact still a cute young thing . . . My hubby always unlocks and opens my car door for me (usually with a smooch), even though I’m quite capable of doing it myself, and even when I’m the driver, and I love it.
See, I always just go with a hearty “What up, bitch!”
Seriously, though, while I do not possess girly parts and therefore can’t give a definitive answer, I must admit I’d be a little weirded out if a girl introducing herself to me started out by calling me “mister”, which would seem to be the analogous situation.
Other than that…well, I just wanted to say “What up, bitch!” in a Dope thread. You may safely ignore me now.
Note to self: If you ever meet Roland Orzabal in person, call him “Mister.”
Seriously, though, this was the best possible way for the guy to do this, unless he was going to use some sort of notes-related ruse. (That’s my personal favorite, but I’m a chick.)
I like being called “Miss”… even though I’m a “Mrs” now, and only 26, but it makes me feel like a little lady who was worth the extra politeness. I like that in a man. Cute, cute, cute You lucky gal!
