The mystery man at Barnes & Noble...

On Mondays and Wednesdays you can find me at Barnes and Noble studying and sipping on a Toasted Marshmallow Mocha (yummy!). Today I went and was in need of an outlet to work on my lab-top (it dies if unplugged for 5 min). My favorite two locations were taken so I was forced to sit by the coffee shop at a small table and on a chair that barely fits my bum. As soon as I approached I immediately noticed the gentleman who would be sitting at the table directly in front of me. He was extremely attractive...to me that is! Carharts, montrail running shoes, mountaineering company's visor, hooded sweatshirt, light brown shaggy hair, and of course...a full beard! As I approached I noticed he was conversing with some old ladies (like grandmas) across the way. I figured he knew them but as I overheard their convo, it was clear that he did not. He was just having a nice discussion with some old ladies...that was HOT! Nevertheless, for the next hour and a half we sat across from each other, glancing up at each other every once in a while. I was working on a paper; he was reading a book on investing for dummies! It was almost to the point where one of us should have said something to the other, but of course I said nothing. I first of all wondered if he was a Christian...I thought it might have been pretty evident that I was one considering I had my Bible out and all these books on Biblical feminism (though that may have freaked him out...it freaks me out). I thought that maybe if he was a Christian he might have said something, but maybe not. Then I got to thinking, what the heck would I say if I did say something? I didn't want to throw out some cheesy pick-up line and I didn't want to look desperate or nosey. I concluded that I should say nothing and if it was God's will then something would be said. Nothing was said and he left. I left shortly there after and concluded that if I see him again, then I will say something for sure...something like, "hey I saw you at B&N reading and conversing with old ladies...it was cute!" LOL

Don't worry, Wednesday I will be back at B&N to study...maybe someday I will again run into cute, mountain, mystery man!
