Okay, so tell me your "some weird guy/girl asked me out" stories.

I have a similar story. Some guy at work as couple of weeks ago started asking out practically every girl. He was new and since there were a lot of girls his age, he figured why not ask out every girl in sight. Unfortunately for him, no one liked him. He was like nerdiest guy imaginable.

Turns out, I was the first girl he asked, but I have come to the conclusion that I was first ONLY because I was actually the only one that would conversate with him. Well, if you would consider "Hello" and "How are you?" a conversation. And I was just being polite anyhow.

Yeah. So after I turned him down, he started asking out like every girl (even this 25 year old, and he was only 15!). Eventually he began giving everyone the creeps.

He quit three weeks later. Another one bites the dust.

I'm only fourteen goddammit. I don't have any of these stories, sniffles.

One time though after we went to a club we were having coffee in Chapel St and a girl came up to me. She was really weird, she kept on saying her friend likes me and wants to ask me out. The guy she was pointing to was actually really hot, but my low-self-esteem-issues kicked in and I was like 'erm, no, not really, thanks'.

And there's a guy at work that likes to ask every girl out in the store who is even vaguely attractive. He's like 18. He hasn't come near me though, hah I wonder why. DUH.

I work downtown, where there are a lot of homeless people and dirty old men, so my breaks are generally an avoiding-eye-contact-with- absolutely-everybody contest for me. However, some creeps are really determined/persistent and so I have a lot of stories. One day I was sitting outside on my break and a guy walking by sat down next to me and asked for a cigarette. I dispensed the cigarette and expected him to walk off. Of course he didn't. This guy had a massively swollen and blackened left eye, but something had burst inside his eye (okay, maybe not but it certainly looked like it) so half of the white of his eye was filled with blood and leaking clear fluid (which I assumed to be pus). He asked if I had a boyfriend and I told him no, and he said, "well, I don't have a girlfriend and you don't have a boyfriend .. we should like, go out." Me: "Um .. no, I don't think so." Him: "Well, yeah, that's alright. It's not so much a girlfriend I want as just somebody to have sex with." Me: "I wish you luck finding that person, because it isn't me." Him: "I'm gonna get me a girlfriend, and we're gonna have sex in bathrooms." Me: "That's .. pretty romantic." Him: "Yeah ... so like, what d'you like to do?" Me: "What, you mean hobbies?" Him: "Well no, I mean like, do you like to smoke pot?" Me: "No." Him: "Oh .. I wanna get a girlfriend who likes to smoke pot." (long silence) Him: "So do you like to kiss guys? I like to kiss girls. Girls are hot. Girls are hot 'cause .. 'cause they got pussies. I want some pussy. I haven't had pussy in a long time. I .. I wanna EAT some pussy." Me: "I need to get back to work."

And this next one happened about a week ago - I was on my break and this little middle-aged Asian man came and sat down by me. He asked what my name was, how I was doing, how old I was. Then he asked if I had a boyfriend. Me: "No, I have a girlfriend." (I don't and I'm not so inclined, but I figured it to be a foolproof tactic) Him: "Oh, well, you know, I have fantasy with two girl, maybe you fulfill?" Me: "Definitely not." He then went into a long monologue about lesbians and how he's a very accepting sort of guy and did me or my girlfriend want children because he was the man to supply the seed if that was so, and if we wanted we could come over and watch movies at his place sometime, etc. He was really creepy and I told him I had to go back to work, and I stood up. He stood up to and held out his hand as if for me to shake. So I shook his hand, but he pulled me in close, slobbered all over my cheek, rubbed his crotch against me, and as I shoved him away he was passing his hand over my breast. I punched him square in the face. I was so angry. You don't grab somebody, EVER. Especially when you're forty and they're a teenager (despite the mixed message American Beauty may have sent ..)

Anyway, I have more creep stories, but those two stand out the most and God knows I've rambled enough. Guys are weird.

My freshman year of college, I met a whole lot people. I dated a few guys, but nothing serious ever happened. I was too busy having fun. There was this "punk rock" dude always hanging around the dorms my friends lived in and he was ok looking but not a hottie or anything. One day we were both in the lobby and he starts talking about the bands I like, I had patches of them on my backpack. We chatted, but I soon left to go to my friend's room. Eventually, I started seeing him at parties and shows. One night, outside of my friend's dorm room, he asks me out in front of all my friends and I said no. I tried ignoring him for the rest of the night, it worked alright I guess. He kept asking me out and asking me out and I kept saying no. I started to think I should probably just go out with him once, I might like him or something. One night, some friends and I were hanging out at a bar, we were there to see some bands play I swear. One of the bands cancelled so some local crappy band went to fill in. This local crappy band happened to have this guy in it. His name, I swear to God, was "Scratch". He says hi to me or whatever and I turn to my friend Cody and say, "That guy has asked me out a billion times this week." Cody says to me, "I hope you said no." I said, "Well, of course, why?" Then it comes. Cody tells me, "Well, I had a friend that dated him. When she broke up with him, he went nuts on her and she had to have a restraining order put on him. Eventually he got in trouble and was sent to jail, where he called her voicemail and sent messages telling her he was going to slit her throat. It was some sick shit." That was all it took basically, I avoided that guy like the fucking plague.

Another time, the summer before I went to college actually, my friends and I had snuck into a 21+ club. My friend's band was playing so we pretended to be their roadies so we wouldn't get carded. The band that opened for my friend's had this really really cute drummer. I was like, "ugh oh God he is so cute". I was totally infatuated with him. Just imagine a better looking Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only with blue eyes. After the show he and a few friends of his invited me and my friends to meet them at a Donut Shop after the show and we could come over to their place. (Which happened to be an hour and a half away. Nevermind our parents expect us home that night.) We went anyway. We got there and played strip poker until someone's dad came home. He tried getting me in the shower and eventually, everyone went to bed. He came down like 20 minutes later asking for a back massage, and I'm sure your imagination can do the rest of the work here. The next morning we left real early, I left a note with my # telling him to come see us if he wanted to. He never called or anything and I kind of forgot about him. Then, he started showing up at shows. Instead of coming and talking to me, he'd just stand right behind me, like he was with me. I never talked to him so when I wouldn't turn around and hump him like he expected, he'd start making faces and talk shit about me. Oh yeah, like after that I'm really going to want to fuck you. Asshole.

I have lots of stories like this.

One time I was at a local college doing research for a paper (I'm still in high school). This guy came up to me and kissed me on the hand and told me I was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and asked me out. I felt really bad because he was (how do i put this nicely) mentally retarded...not to mention a lot older than me. So I had to struggle to find the balance of being nice while not leading him on or anything like that. I told him that I was sorry but I was busy but I still felt horrible! My friend got kissed by a homeless man in Washington DC too... but that's her story and not mine.

my scary guy story happened just recently when my family decided to go on a cruise the summer before i go off to college. i ended up feeling really awkward there since everyone seemed like a living, breathing carcinogen: baking in the sun during the day (with suntan lotion in a spray bottle - like pam or some shit) and smoking cigarettes at night. needless to say i withdrew from the scene and spent most of my days and nights on various parts of the deck reading and listening to music.

the second to last night there, as i was about to write my friend a letter, these two drunk guys came over to my secluded little area and started ranting about how they've seen me before, i should be having fun, they were going to make me dance to assorted bad-techno (britney remixes - woo hoo!), and that, you know, i should go to their cabin tonight to freak my parents out. they kept on telling me how mature i seemed and that they could tell i wasn't some stupid 17-year-old running around.

"really?" i said, "guess how old i am." "how old" the guy said. "17." and one of the guys just literally jumped out of his chair and 'had to go.' (they were in their mid 20s). the other one stayed for another ten, fifteen minutes, denying that he had an asian fetish (i'm asian) after he confessed , 'i loved asian women.'

during this time, my parents found me and proceeded to talk to me, asking me to introduce them to my two new friends (their coronas still in hand). it was really embarassing.

I have a question that I've always wondered about. Why don't girls ever ask guys out directly(okay it happens once in awhile)? They always have to go through a friend if they like a guy whereas guys usually go directly to the girl. Just food for thought?

I really don't have any weird "girl" stories. The only weird thing I can say about girls asking me out is that they are usually slutty. I'm not sure what it is but for some reason I seem to attract slutty girls. Never quite figured that out either because I'm like the total opposite. Life is confusing.

Joel: One word, "rejection". Girls are just as rejection-phobic as guys are, that's always been my #1 motivation to NOT ask a guy out. In retrospect, all they can say is 'no', but at the time, the thought of being turned down is just a total whack to your self-esteem. I think going through friends to get a date is somewhat easier; if the guy says no, it doesn't sound as bad coming from someone else. It just takes a lot of the nervousness out of it.

I hardly get asked out and when I do, it's by someone odd and I haven't been asked out since I was like 16. once by some fat looking pimp wannabe wearing a beret on his head. he asked me if I wanted to go do something and asked how old I was right in front of my mom!! that was just stupid. mom looked him up and down and gave him a stern look and he ran off.

I also got asked out during lunch junior year by some weirdo who looked nerdy or high or both or whatever. my friend laughed and said, "well, answer him!! he seems niiicee!" I shuddered and turned away.

mostly I'm the one saying I like someone and getting turned down. ah well.

I'm 19 years old, but I can pass for 15 at youngest and about 24 at oldest. This poses a problem. I work in a grocery store. In Alaska. Where the ratio of men to women is like 3:1 or something. And they're all desperate. Why is it that guys feel the need to hit on grocery store checkers? Guys aged 13 to a hundred and seventy-three. I swear to god. I can't work more than 20 minutes at a time without getting hit on or more than one full shift without getting asked out at least once, whether by customers or coworkers. Does this sound familiar? :}

People apparently do not act similarly towards record store cashiers.

I just happen to work at Kmart also. I hate my job. I hate Kmart. But I start vacation next week so I'll get paid for a whole 5 days of sleeping. But anyway. Since everyone in this county knows Kmart is the lowest paying job so basically the only people that apply for employment are like skanks who got kicked out of highschool or are just too stupid to get jobs anywhere decent. Well, one day back at New Years I was closing up front and there was this guy from back in Sporting Goods who was known as "the dude with the tight pants/high-water pants..." this guy was a complete loser. He once told me he lived in his trailor with no power nor water but yet he held 2 jobs and still couldn't play the bills. Anyways when you are up front and you close the surrounding departments bring up their money bags, journal (register tape) and keys. Well, this guy comes up to me when I was turning in my money and pathetically TELLS me I am coming to his New Years eve party and hands my one of those little handband things that had the "20" on one "antenna" and the "00" on the other. So he asks if he can call me so (I'm really a nice girl) so I give him my number and tell him to call me. So to make this boring story short, he called I had my friend answer, telling him it was the wrong number, he came to work crying to me, confessing his undying love, GAG. That's my lame Kmart story. I could tell one daily.

Katie you and I should compile a book of short stories of how stupid Kmart customers are. It is a fact that Kmart gets the most nasty people in that store, it's the trashiest retail store ever. Big Lots is nicer.

Last week I was on break and a few other people and I were upstairs watching "Cops" (there wasn't anything else on, it was Saturday night). There was some white trashy-looking heroin addict on there roaming around looking disgusting, and this guy Brad goes, "Damn, she looks like she shops at Kmart!" So, yeah... watch "Cops" and you'll see what kind of people I have to deal with every day. :)

I got hit on by the lowest of the low... a carnie!

I was at work at Papio Fun Park (a mini-amusement park) and this semi-attractive but wannabe gansta kid and his thirty year old mexican friend were being complete assholes on the go karts, so I kicked them off. They went back into the main building calling me a bitch and a slut and this and that... and then twenty minutes later when I came in, he asked me for my number and wouldn't leave me alone until I told him my name. Icky.

I played the whole "I'm not interested in you but I really am, but I don't want you to know" bit on this guy I had been going on and off with for 3 years. He broke up with his girlfriend and started to really bug off of me. I loved it.

Eventually he asked me out before I went to Europe and I told him that we were too different and we're in different socials at school. I was popular, he was just that lone cowboy type (but not a cowboy).

He kind of told me to fuck myself and he's with his ex girlfriend again. We don't talk much at school, and he ignores me when I walk by. But as soon as his girlfriend dislocates herself from him, he looks at me as though I'm a snob for not saying hi.

Thats as weird as they come people.
