I was going to start a thread about this, but I'll post in here instead.
I got asked for my phone number by a bloke in Burton's the other week. To be fair I was looking at him quite a lot as I thought he was Craig from Big Brother (the one who fancied Anthony). So I kept glancing up from my clothes shopping trying to clock if it was actually him. He caught me. I had to smile, I couldn't do anything else. He smiled back and minced over. "Hiya" he says. "Hello" I say deeply, arms folded. Anyway he asks my name and to my dissappointment I find out he's not called Craig. I kept a vain hope he was an employee, but alas no. "What are you upto?". "Shopping". I kept it simple. Then he just outright asked, "What are you doing later? Can I have your number?" I was actually quite impressed, the guy has balls, even if he chooses to use them differently. I politely declined and apologised if I gave him the wrong idea. He also apologised and we parted ways. So that was my brief brush with 'the other side'. No where near as gay as this thread though
