So I go down to the minimart to pick up a two-liter of soda ...

[apocalypsos]

Male Clerk: *as he's ringing me up* Forget to pick some up today, huh?
Me: Yeah, I just got too lazy and time slipped by and I turned around and I was out.
Male Clerk: I used to do that when I was playing RPGs.
Me: Yeah, I was kind of bouncing around the web.
Male Clerk: I used to chat a lot, too.
Me: I don't so much anymore. I used to work with a guy and I told him my screen name, and once he tried to ask me out on IM.
Male Clerk: How about I ask you out?
Me: Uh, thank you, but no.

Dude. That was SO not what I was going for. Sheesh.

So apparently this is some sort of superpower, where I talk to a guy for more than thirty seconds and as long as I have absolutely no intention of ever going near him he immediately asks me out.

Quick! Somebody bring Jensen Ackles into the room!

(... what? You really think I'd date Jensen? Uh, hi, I'm in fandom. HELLO.)

Some people are really just made to be eyecandy. I would probably dump him after 3 days because omgwtf so intense.

You know, the thing is, he's just my type. The kinda shy intense thing is SO MY KINK. Suddenly I'm the outgoing one. It's great.

But at the same time I've seen the way fandom treats girlfriends. All the Sandy love is such a fluke.

Very true re:Sandy Love.

I dunno. I used to think the intense-shyboy thing was okay, then I dated one, and I've kind of been turned off them. Maybe I could hang on if it was Jensen, just for the hot (LOL SHALLOW). XD Or maybe that was a one-off experience and they're not all really psychopaths below the surface. Or maybe he really should just stick with Jared.

This must be the secret to all that "Mr. Right will show up when you've stopped looking" advice that my happily hooked up friends give me. o_0

Was he cute? Maybe you could give him a chance? :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Nope, and he was probably about twenty years older than me.

Oh, well, darn. :(

It's a sucky superpower, isn't it? I'd like to trade it in for the ability to have Starbucks magically appear at my desk.
