Trail Honey

[Zen]

I saw this guy on my ride today and we both stopped and chatted for a while. How do you pick up a guy when you're two ships passing in the night or in this case two bikes passing on the trail?

Maybe I should get some cards made.

[Trek420]

You ask him if he wants a copy of the picture in case it turns out so well that women cyclists world wide will want poster sized blow ups of the picture for their bedroom (It did! You've got good taste, Zen. Ooops, hope he's not lurking. Quick note to biker dude if he is: Dude, PM Zen. I'm married and bat for the other team).

Anyway so you ask him if he wants a copy and promise to e-mail him a copy. He give you his e-mail, you send the picture, you two kids take it from there.

Judging from body language and facial expression I think he likes you

[Zen]

You know, I thought the same thing about that body language

You're so clever, that's a good idea. I guess there just wasn't enough blood flow to my brain to think that well

[Trek420]

You're so clever

Yes I am Do you need a "wing woman"?

Hey. maybe you'll run into him again.

[bikerchic]

Swoon, what a hottie! You should have just scooped him up and explained later Zen!

[Selkie]

What you don't know is his girlfriend is chopped up in little pieces and stuffed inside that pack on the trailer!

[OakLeaf]

His stuff is so clean that he must be just setting out on his tour, right? He'll probably need a welcoming committee when he gets back home.

You: Would like to hear more about your trip afterwards over a coffee or would that bother your girlfriend?

I know-- pretty blatant and fishing around. But he would understand..

[Skierchickie]

No way, Zen! Where is his helmet? You've been swept up in his hotness, and missed his obvious flaws.

Ooh! Fabian Cancellara just flashed his chest at me!

[Zen]

I did notice how clean his stuff looked...and he said the towpath was muddybut note the trailer does have a fender.
I noticed the lack of helmet too but sometimes you just have to overlook small flaws Beleive me, I noticed everything.


Shootingstar, that's a good line.

Excellent collective brain as always. I've already put a small notepad in my bag for next time

[lph]

Oooh. Zen, he likes you. But don't worry, this one's just practice. Keep your camera and your "hey, this turned out nice! Give me your email and I'll send you a copy"-line ready and you'll be reeling them in

[Zen]

my ask is sore from kicking myself

[Trek420]

Don't kick yourself Ride on, if it is meant to be it's meant to be.

If you don't see him again it's a fun memory of "the one that got away" and practice for when you will meet the right one.

Back in the day when I was single and looking I was just a leetle bit skeptical of the one with that perfect line for any occasion, knowing just what to say or do to get a gals number. Just a leetle bit too practiced for my book.

Don't worry about not having got his e-mail or number, the fact that you didn't is charming. Stay that way.

[sfa]

Which way was he headed? Maybe have someone stalk the other end of the towpath to keep an eye out for him?

I like the "hey, give me your email so I can send you a copy" line. That's a good reason to always keep a camera with you!

Yes, but what's he gonna think when he finds out that a global group of women cyclists have fanned out in all directions to track him down to "find him, bathe him and bring him to Zen's tent"
