Dave got picked up on at Barnes and Noble today....by a GUY!

So Dave went to Barnes and Noble on his lunch break and is sitting down reading a Gmat book, when a young guy walks up to him and says, " Do I know you?"
Strange Guy we will call SG
D- no I don't think so.
SG- where did you go to school?
D- Utah State, Did you go to USU ?
SG- No.
D- oh well did you play volley ball, I played for USU
SG- Oh I can tell you are an athlete, you are massive!
first of all Dave has been called many things, massive is not one of them. Dave starts to get a strange feeling about this guy and exactly what his intentions are with carrying on this conversation.

SG-(after finding out Dave is an accountant) I might be able to use your help with some things, DO you have a business card I could have or maybe your number.
D- Dave gives him his work number and then tells him his company just got baught out and they might be moved to Rhode Island.
SG- oh Rhode Island is a great place.
D- yeah, it just might be hard to convince my wife and kids of that.
SG- Oh, well good luck.
What do you think was Dave just hit on, let's put it to a vote.

My guess is just that the guy was awkward and socially challenged and just got nervous. If anything.. he was in the closet even to himself. That's what I think.

BUT.. it would be totally funny if he was seriously hitting on your husband. :) LOL!

Natelli Johnston said...

yah, maybe he is just trying to meet some new friends.

Rochelle said...

Great story but is it possible that you might move to Rhode Island?

Natelli Johnston said...

No we are not moving to Rhode Island, although in a way that sounds exciting, we are not sure yet what is happening with his job, it could take a year to really even know.

I love rhode island! It is definitely different for utah folks, that is if you have never left the state. because you don't have the influence of family members and neighbors who are members and the opportunity of the temple right there. Those obstacles test your true faith, but if you don't have to move. I would stay. I have been trying to get back to utah for 14 years!
That's another thing. I bet you get a HUGE HUGE pay increase to step out of utah. That is what prevents us from going back, lack of money, dh would have to travel and we do not have fam there in UT

Autumn said...

You better not move to Rhode Island...especially if it's just to get away from Strange Guy!! So funny!!

Joanie said...

Hey Natelli! Was this guy smiling and maintainig eye contact for an unusual amount of time? I'd say there's a good chance he was imterested.

Marie B. said...

Sounds like that guy was hitting on Dave. Poor thing, he never stood a chance....... really funny stuff.

Rachel said...

FUNNY! Definitely being hit on. haha, guys just don't come up to guys to be friendly......do they?! :)

Jodi Jo said...

Weren't we telling you guys while you were over here that Damon gets the 'gay' thing quite often? It's usually from females though because he is just too darn nice. That is a great story! What section of the store was he in? That may affect what I think.

tammy said...

It is always nice to get hit on no matter what gender. Right??

Denise said...

I definitly think it's odd he told him he looked massive. Men just don't go around telling each other that do they? Maybe good buddies joking around but not some stranger. I think it was a hit on and run for sure. Congrats Dave, you've still got it!

Natelli Johnston said...

I agree with Tammy, it is nice to get hit on, the funny thing is Dave and I were talking about getting hit on the night before and how we have not been hit on for a very long time. I think I am jelous he was hit on even it was by a guy.

AWKWARD!!!! Note to self, don't read in BN ALONE!!!

Jenny said...

Little weird in my opinion! Guess I won't be sending my hubby to the bookstore anytime soon!

I have to agree with Ms. Hobbs. I think that the guy just sounds awkward and socially challenged. It seems to me like he was lonely and was looking for a friend. I went to See's candy the other day, they have awesome Scotchmallows, and this random chick starting talking to me. I didn't think she was trying to hit on me, but rather just had a need to talk to someone or was just genuinely a nice person.

P.S. Guys tend to compare how massive they are in regards to each other. In my ward there is this massive guy, with arms to die for and all the other men in the ward envy his arms. That's all they will talk about with him when making conversation with him.

This is Dave, Natelli missed some important details - The very first question he asked was "Do you know where I could find a sporting good store?" It was about 100 yards south called "Dicks". He was acting like I was going to follow him by the way he was looking back at me... as I looked back at my book he approached me again and asked if we have met before and during our conversation he was looking into my eyes in a strange way, even after confirming that we have never met. He never seemed to want to stop talking to me until I mentioned my Wife and kids... within three seconds he was on his way to the door. Your right, I still got it (never really seemed that I ever had it). I don't mean to brag but he was very handsome well spoken, my confidence def increased from it.

Amy Jones said...

No offense, Dave, but "massive"? Definitely picking up on you.

Rachel said...

Dave's confidence was increased by it..........hmmmmmmm, interesting! haha
So guys usually claim to not know that other guys are or are not handsome, how come he knows that this guy was? Just a thought......

Amy B. said...

That's so funny I can't stop laughing! Especially after David stepped in and clarified the situation! Go David! You are a handsome fellow!

Johnston Family said...

So funny, I loved hearing the story first hand from David last night as well!

Jan said...

Absolutely!!! If I was still working for my gay boss I would confirm, but I'd still say ABSOLUTELY.

Amy F. said...

Hah ha, no way! My hubby Shawn and his brother were living in Salt Lake while we were dating and they got mistaken for a "couple" every now and then.
Your poor husband. How awkward. Still, he should be flattered ;).
