I passed a cute, no wait -- completely gorgeous -- guy a month ago on the way down my street and I wish I'd followed my instinct to A. stop talking on my cell phone (HA!) and B. to follow him up the street and ask for his number. <BR/><BR/>In a car? Much easier -- but don't talk on the cell phone, k? It's dangerous. ;)<BR/><BR/>HeatherHeather Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010941540615940287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-27086088628628033542007-04-19T07:07:00.000-07:002007-04-19T07:07:00.000-07:00Tina, I've never heard of that!

But I have seen teens on scooters do this...if the light is red, the scooters bypass all the cars and cut right to the front of the line, so it's like a small scooter convention until the light turns green. :-)<BR/><BR/>NatalieNataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119053515951615279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-74173962676944652842007-04-17T18:05:00.000-07:002007-04-17T18:05:00.000-07:00Tina, that is just crazy!

I don't remember much about the date. We went to see Wolf (at a movie theatre on the opposite side of town so no one we knew would see us). The guy that was my half of the double was afraid of cows.<BR/><BR/>Steph, that is hilarious!

I SO don't do traffic!<BR/>This reminds me of a funny/mortifying story. I had stayed friends with a guy I dated in high school and I went to visit him for a few days once. He had to work and someone called so I opened up his bedside table to try and find a pen and paper. I found this list of conquests and everyone had a rating. One conquest was listed as, "The older lady I met at the stoplight". I seriously don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my whole life. So I guess it really does work for some people!<BR/>xo,<BR/>Stephstephhalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836703686468306571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-86589362930446701052007-04-17T11:40:00.000-07:002007-04-17T11:40:00.000-07:00Hi Tina, Well, giving out your cell number is a lo...Hi Tina,<BR/> Well, giving out your cell number is a lot safer than some of the crazy stuff I used to do with my friends.

There are tons of people here in their twenties and thirties, all pretty well-to-do, so lots of cute little sports convertible. <BR/><BR/>The girls will pull up to a stoplight and glance over at the guys in the next car. The guys will nod their heads and say something like, "Hey." The girls will giggle and drive away. :0<BR/>IT's hilarious.Dona Sarkar-Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777520950899454720noreply@blogger.com
