Do you happen to have *69 on your phone? If you do, ring up the number, pretend like you’re oblivious, “Hi, just got back and dialed your number through *69, can I help you? etc…”
Those who pointed out that she may not have called have a point. After all, even if she did call, if she wanted to get in touch, she’d have left a message. The ball is in her court now. Going by her house would, IMHO, look desperate.
I disagree. If I had a number and tried it once with no answer, I might not call again. And the fact that she was soooo open about letting him see where she lived, etc., tells me that she liked him and wouldn’t mind seeing him again.
I’m not saying he should stalk her house, but dropping by on a sunny weekend morning wouldn’t be creepy at all. In fact, I think it will get him a date.
Sooooooo open? She needed to get her bike home. She needed a ride to get her truck and help getting it up in the truck. Should she have blindfolded him until he got there so he didn’t know where she lived? She liked him and wouldn’t mind seeing him again? Will all due respect, based on what? Her bike wouldn’t start, she asked a fellow bike person to assist her. When it didn’t work, she asked for a ride to her house. In the few minutes from hello to it’s not working, she made up her mind that she will invite him to drive her home because she wants to see him again? Color me the odd one, but I think she was probably thinking about getting her bike home safely instead of finding potential dates.
We’re making a big assumption that it WAS her that called, to be honest. But, IF it was her, that means she called him a few hours after first meeting him. If a woman is that eager to talk to a man, it would make sense that she’d try again. Obviously we have no idea, and all women are different.
I’m not trying to say she DIDN’T like him, maybe by the time they were done doing all of this stuff she found him to be nice and interesting, I’m just saying I doubt that dating was the thing on her mind when she asked for a ride home.
Since he seems interested in her after their brief interaction, I hope she DOES call. That would be a nice start with a person you already know you have things in common with.
Maybe she uses that gas station a lot? You could be a frequent-filler upper, and hope to run into her again.
Too bad my bike gets 60 miles to the gallon =P
Stand outside her window in a trench coat, holding a giant boom box over your head while blasting 80s ballads? That’s always seems to work. 
Other than that, I agree with Zebra. It would seem to me that the best course of action if you’re really interested, is that there’s always a race to attend. You just might ‘bump’ into her there. If not, I’m sure there’s plenty of other cool chicks who’d be in attendance and something to watch regardless.
Good luck.
That’s so crazy it might just work! Surely she will call again (if indeed it was her the first time) if she is at all into you.
Well, he could but if her humongous husband/boyfriend (potentially) finds it, I hope he can run real fast. She does have his business card, after all.
OP, it’s been two days. . . any calls?
Well, I haven’t been at work, so I have no idea =P No emails yet though either…
Yeah, still nothing. Alright, if this has taught me anything, it’s this: Answer my damn phone. But more importantly, be more proactive in this dealing-with-girls shit. Why oh why didn’t I ask for her number? Grr, hind-sight’s 20/20.
I hate my life.
Women naturally want to keep stalkers etc. at bay and do not wish to give out information if they don’t have to. Getting her bike home required that. Maybe she could have called a friend or someone else but she chose to trust him. Getting her phone number seems small potatoes compared to knowing where she lives.
You may be able to use to the address to get her phone number via the net, though I don’t recommend using the number until/unless you’re at your wit’s end. If you call her and she is bothered, well, you’re no worse off than before, right? I mention the search b/c if you find that the number is registered in a man’s name, it might give you pause.
Going back to the OP, the thing that I notice is that she hugged him. A few weeks ago I saw a petite woman trying to change a tire. Chivalry being my long suit (?) I stopped and helped, doing most of the grunting. When it was all finished she thanked me and offered me money, not a phone number or indication that we should get together sometime. She didn’t hug me or shake my hand. It was all business.
I’d rate that hug as an invitation. And, she told him to stop by.
It’s been four days. I say drop by. (BTW, I’m female.)
I met my last love at a gas station. Her licence plate had the letters"SMA" in small type next to the numbers. When I asked what they ment her reply was “Sadio-Masochist Association” want to join. I got her number and it was a great 15 years.
Wait for a nice day, stop by with the bike, ask her if she wants to come with. Not even close to stalking, not even creepy. Don’t you all stop by other people’s houses?
Obviously she is no shrinking violet, she races for God’s sake. She’ll make up her own mind, and you’ll know it when she does.
If you do drop by, for Og’s sake do it during the day. If the sun is shining, all the better. That’s fun and social. Doing it at night is nothing but creepy. It’s amazing how that works.
It’s unlikely, but possible, that you’ll just happen to run into her. If you do, then it’s imperative that you tell her those three little words that every woman responds to: “You got e-mail?” (If she says no, then ask “But you do have electricity, right?”) The subtext of asking should not be “Will you go out with me?” It should be “Write it down.”
This is evil genius. Totally do this. 
You know how they suggest putting a plastic bag filled with water in your toilet tank to lower its capacity? 
Personally, I’d drop by on a Saturday or Sunday on my bike, and ask if she wanted to go for a ride. No pun intended.
BTW, what ever happened with the gal you met on the plane, and how do you always randomly meet gals that live next door to you? You’d think you’d meet them when they were walking from their car to their front door, but, no, you have to have some harebrained scheme. All the gals I meet randomly tend to live on the opposite side of town. PITA.
I think she definitely liked you, don’t know if it was romantically or not but when she said “you should swing by sometime” I think that opens the door to actually swinging by on your bike sometime. You could ask her if she got hers running or whatever.
Or go to the race, that would be totally non-creepy.
You could be onto something here, a girl “friend” if nothing else.
Damn you have a good memory. Sadly, she pulled the “I’m really sick” card and never called back sigh And yeah, I seem to meet girls in some odd places…too bad none of them have really gone anywhere yet.
As for the support in favor of dropping by sometime: I’ve got to admit, that option is sounding better and better at this point. But I’m still hesititant for a few reasons:
- I’m a giant pussy
- I can’t even freakin’ remember her name – that could be awkward if someone besides her answers the door.
- What if she already has a boyfriend or something? Well, guess I’d find that out when I visited her.
So yeah, that’s where we stand.
