Encounter at the Gas Station

I feel pretty spectacular about myself today; I feel sexy, my hot girl self. As a bonus, it's a warm fall day, so I chose a summer dress and sandals, two of my favorite things to wear. Then, I went to the car wash, and my car was a shiny hot red. It was one of those days when everything seemed more vibrant than usual. Have you ever felt like this too?

I stop in the Quik Chek, and as I'm waiting in line, I look to the left and see this hot handsome guy walk in. I went wow in my head and thought nothing of it. I'm getting to my car, and who pulls behind me in his pickup truck but the hottie.

He says, "Excuse me, but can I say that you are gorgeous?"

My response was, "What did you say?" But first, I wanted to make sure I heard him correctly.

Him, "You're gorgeous."

Me, I blush and giggle and say, "thank you."

I start to think he's going to ask me out.

Him, "I bet you are married."

Me, "No, I'm not, and you?"

Him, "No." I wasn't convinced.

And here it comes; he's going to ask me out.

Him, "Would you like to hook up?"

Me, Thinking in my head, for fucks sake. "Ah, no. My days of hooking up are done."

And silly me thought there was a chance he would still redeem himself and ask me out.

Him, "Alright, so no hookup. How about we mutually masturbate?"

Me, "How about no. How old are you?"

Him, "38."

Me, "You're just a baby."

Him, "That's why I like this so much. You're gorgeous, and I love your body."

I walk away and get in my car.

 First, it was nice to be complimented and hopeful that I would get asked out. I was flattered. When the hookup comment came, I was disappointed. It got creepy fast with the masturbation comment.

I wondered if this is how the younger generation has relationships by asking a complete stranger for a hookup or anything else sexual that they feel. Is it a negotiation now with no feeling other than lust? Has instant gratification become the new normal?

I've had one-night stands, and at least there was conversation, flirt a little with each other, dance, and have a few drinks. Am I this far behind the times?

Let me say at no time did I not feel safe. It was daylight, and he remained in his truck the entire time.

He had the older woman fantasy going on, probably. We never exchanged names or told him my age.

From a Love Coach perspective, I wish I had gotten more curious about his approach and asked if it had worked for him previously.

 From my perspective, my mojo and my green light was turned on. It had been a while since I'd felt this glow from within, I was happy, and it was oozing out. Maybe a bit too much, haha!

 I will love to know if you have had such an inner sexy glow seep out and if others noticed.

 I would love to hear your story!
