I got hit on by a sure thing once, but she was coyote-ugly and I turned it down. Does that count in this thread? ---

I have a couple I’ll share. Two or three weeks into my freshman year of college, this girl had the hots for me. Since I was terrified by the course load and the fact that many of my peers had taken advanced courses in high school that were not available to me, I knew that I didn’t want to get involved in a relationship that might prove distracting. However, we did share several hours of heavy-duty clothes-on frivolity. Several years later, a girl that I considered a good friend gave the same signals. Since, at that time, most of my intimate relationships ended badly, I kept my pants on in order to keep her as a friend. ---

> [@Rafe\_Hollister](#): > > Last weekend I may have turned down the chance. > > This woman is about my age and is in a very similar occupation as me, but works for a different employer and our jobs sometimes overlap. A few months ago at a conference, she was a featured speaker and made lots of eye contact from the stage and once when everyone was watching a demonstration on the other side of the room, I looked at her and she smiled and winked. She lives in a town very near where my hunting property is and I have run into her there in town a couple times now. > > Saturday I was up there coming out of a grocery store as she was going in. She asked if my son was with me. I told her no and she smiled and asked if I had the hunting cabin to myself. I said that my brother-in-law was there with his son, so it was occupied. Then we talked of a job opening there in town that I would qualify for very easily and she asked if I was happy at my current position, because it’d sure be nice to have me up there. Just before we said goodbye, she said there was a fish fry in town that night and I should come back into town & go with her. I told her I was expected back at the cabin for grilled pork chops. > > Next time, I may take her up on it. I’d really like to have those big ol’ boobies in my face. Quick update on this; she e-mailed me today and said she was gonna be free this weekend and at some kinda event downtown on Friday. Maybe I’ll be bangin’ her after all. ---

Good luck! We all love a happy ending :D. As for my own experiences, nothing of interest comes to mind. The opportunity arises pretty much whenever I go out to a bar or to a party or wander around around off-campus or sit in a cafe for more than half an hour (it’s a young woman thing, I think).
