Propositioned by a random woman

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Hi, I’m a long time lurker but I just recently decided to pay the subscription fee. I really enjoy the board and I’m glad to finally be a member. Anyway, on the the thread.

Several months ago I was out of town on business for a few weeks. On my first night, I went to a restaurant by myself for dinner, as my coworker had not arrived yet. I finished my meal and gave the waitress my credit card. A few minutes later, a different woman brought the card and receipt back. She was attractive, but not a knockout or anything, probably mid 20s. She said something like, “I saw you over here by yourself and I just wanted to give you my number in case you want to give me a call.” Her number was on the receipt, which she had apparently gotten from my waitress.

To give you a little background, I’m 25 and I suppose that I am reasonably good looking. I’m half Asian and I’ve been described as both “cute” and “hot”, but I really don’t think that I fit the typical image of a “hot American 20 something male”. Who knows, I could be wrong, but it would be news to me. I’ve never felt that I am an object of random women’s attention and I certainly don’t carry myself that way.

I’ve never been approached so directly by a woman before and to be honest I didn’t really know what to say. What I found a little odd is that when she approached, I was holding my glass in my left hand, my wedding ring plainly visible. I can’t remember what exactly happened, but I replied that I was flattered and she went back to her table, where she was sitting with three or four other women of similar age. I signed my bill, went the restroom, and left the restaurant, intentionally avoiding walking by their table. I threw the number away.

Wtf was going on here? I can think of three possibilities, at least two of which end in a one night stand.

  1. She was genuinely interested in me and was either unaffected by the fact that I was married, or she saw it as a challenge.
  2. It was some sort of dare.
  3. She was a prostitute.

Her number was local, so I doubt she was another fellow traveler in search of a one night stand. Also, beyond the point of this thread, I find it unacceptable that my waitress surrendered my credit card and receipt to a random stranger. In retrospect maybe I should have said something, but I was too flustered at the time to think about it. Of course, I certainly wouldn’t have been complaining if I were a single guy who was open to a one night stand.

I think you should be flattered by the stranger. Is it possible the waitress wrote it all on your receipt rather than giving it to the stranger?

3

No, the stranger is the one that brought back my CC and the receipt.

4

I’m going to say #1 though her friends might have “encouraged” her. Maybe she didn’t notice the wedding ring or maybe she’s the type of person who doesn’t really care about that sort of thing.

We’ll never know now, will we. You’ve let us down, you really have. We expected the tawdry one night stand, complete with pictures and what have we got…nuttin’

You might have been able to avoid your new member initiation if you had provided sufficient details.

Isn’t it obvious? She was a prostitute-in-training, out dining with other hookers, who also happens to moonlight at the same restaurant as a hostess. Her colleagues dared her to approach you and offer her phone number (as part of her on-the-job training designed to overcome the intern’s fear of approaching strange men) but when she saw your wedding ring, she was touched by the symbol of commitment that she instantly fell in love with you and suffered a crisis of conscience. It was no longer just a dare, and she was ready to leave the whorish lifestyle behind, but tragically you threw away the number, dashing her hopes and returning her to a life of depravity and restaurant hostessing.

I hope you’re proud of yourself.

Aside from the proposition, I’d be pissed that the waitress gave my credit card and receipt to a stranger to bring to me. I would have reported that to the manager.

7

Random or randy?

8

That’s just wrong. A total breach of CC process. I’d tell.

9

I thought that the lady was going to bring you to a hotel room and drug you so she and her friends could rob you, take pictures, and threaten to mail them to your wife if you call the police.

Then again, I’m bad at this whole ‘dating thing’. :smiley:

This thread made me realize something. All the women I’ve been involved with have been random. They are ruled by, and excel at, randomness.

So I too have been propositioned by random women, random women I kew quite well and random women who were strangers. They in turn were loved by a random man, myself.

I must keep this in mind for the future. What kind of woman am I looking for? Random.

11

Roll 3d6.

12

And watch out for those critical failures. They are a real killer :stuck_out_tongue:

13

Silly rabbit. You can only get a CF on a 1d100. :dubious:

The credit card thing was skeevy, but possibly the huntress was a good friend of someone on the wait staff and was known to be trustworthy. I can’t imagine a waitress worth her salt giving someone’s credit card to a 3d6 stranger.

14

I was joking before, but the whole credit card number thing worries me. Did she run your limit before considering you ‘worthy’? Was there a credit score that was acceptable, below which she would have kept on drinking? It just strikes me as slightly less obvious than "who owns that Rolls Royce in the parking lot? wink * wink* "

WhiteKnight, I think you should post a pic of yourself so the Doper women can evaluate you for hotness and whether they’d proposition you if you were in town.

Also could have been someone who worked at the restaurant and was in with other off duty servers on their night off. Might even discounted food and drink.

16

Do you look like Keanu Reeves by any chance?

17

It’s skeevy, but I’m going to have to side with Sir William of Occam on this. She did it as a cutesy way of playing flirty waitress. It gave her an excuse to approach the table.

18

Nonsense. Rolling an 18 on 3D6 is always a critical failure. Rolling a 3, on the other hand, would be a critical success, always a nice thing to have when random women are propositioning you.

19

DocCathode is a Son of Ether. He gets critical failures by rolling more 1s than successes on his dice pool of d10s. Or, if he’s using the newer rules, by rolling any number of 1s but no successes at all.

I also wonder if she just left her number on the receipt, or if her name was on it as well. Girls that age often have roommates, and I would be tempted not to call.

“Hello?”

“Hi, is the girl that was in Sardi’s a week ago Thursday at around 8:25 pm who approached a stranger while posing as a waitress so she could give him her number so they could hook up for hot monkey sex there?”

Even worse if a guy answers.
