ok, got the watch choices.

I would never ask someone if they were married or if they'd like to snog. ijs.

Perhaps a white lie of " I'm heading to the ???? to get some coffe, can I get you anything or would you like to join me?"

I'm not really one to be giving advice on this subject, I'll be quiet now.

So it's so not about saying hi at this point, it's about saying, "are you married? would you like to snog?"

Then again, I had a friend in college who claimed that this line would work like a charm on pretty much any man. Well, okay, the exact line he recommended was, "Let's fuck."

I have never ever tried it out, so I have no idea if he's right or not. But he was, in fact, a hottie.

I found out that today that the cute guy who smiles and nods at me is in fact (happily) married with kids. Nuts.

Oh, man -- I'm watching this morning's Ellen, and they have Cindy Lauper performing at a subway stop in my neighborhood! That I was at several times this weekend!!

Also, now they have the Rent cast, and here is how cheesy I am: Seasons of Love still makes me cry. Also, Tracie Thoms is tearing it UP. FYI.

I asked a woman who works at a nearby bookstore out last week. Her response was an enthusiastic 'maybe.' No really, she was enthusiastic.

ION, I'll probably have to have a laser fired into my eye.

I'm skeptical. I freely admit to being a standard-bearer for slutdom, and even I'm taken aback by someone assuming too quickly that sex is theirs for the taking without an effort at making friendly conversation first.

I would like to encourage everyone to do more asking out, in general. I mean, as long as the person is reasonably nice and non-creepy, it's almost always nice and flattering, even if you don't want to go out with them.

So you should ask people out that you don't want to go out with?

Sorry, I know that's not what you meant.

In that second sentence "the person" is the asker and "you" are the ask-ee.

OK, time to wang some chung.

Yeah, that's what I figured. But it took me a sec.
