man in the street moment

i was nearly at my door yesterday when a guy came up to me. i thought he wanted directions or something, although as my building entrance is a way off the street, it did seem a bit unlikely. and in fact, that wasn't what he wanted. he just wanted to tell me he'd seen me walking down the street and had to come and tell me i was really pretty. which was very nice indeed, especially as i'd been feeling low over the last few days.

he then asked me if it would be possible to invite me for a drink. which reminded me of exactly the same situation over 2 years ago, when i'd regretted not getting the guy's number. so i told him this weekend wouldn't be possible, but that if he'd give me his number, i'd call him at some point and we could take it from there. needless to say he was really happy.

i don't know that i will call him, but at least this time i have a choice. and for some reason, i have the feeling it's the same guy. so i guess he should get points for perseverance and probably deserves that i call him.

what think you?
