The Grocery Store Search

This thread has come about from another post I made about the possibilities of a single women(ME) finding a single man while doing their grocery shopping.

I will be posting my weekly or maybe every 10 days(whenever I go grocery shopping) adventures on possibly male prospects while grocery shopping and if anything arises such as striking up a conversation with any of them while there. We shall see where if any of this actually goes. This could end up quite funny, promising, or even dull if nothing happens. We shall see.
 

Cute as you are, you will have no trouble finding a man!
I've had men look in my cart and say, "See you're fixing beef stroganoff tonight! I'll bring the wine!"
and
"I see you're making beef tacos! Need help eating them?" I just laugh and walk away. Not looking.

But I have been "stalked" at a grocery a few times, where a man follows me up and down the aisles,
stops when I stop, walks when I walk, even follow me outside and watches me drive away.
peeks at me through cereal boxes and stuff. (maybe shoplifting police?)
but this really gives a single woman a "creepy" feeling!

Skip the baby aisle. If you see a guy there, he has other commitments.

Trust me, I haven't been down the baby aisle for a long time. I guess the last time was for my granddaughter and she is well past the baby stage now. She is almost a teenager. I can't believe it. Also, no man is certainly getting a baby out of me. Those days have long passed me. 😄

I definitely don't want anything creepy. I just want, if it happens a guy to approach me and introduce themselves without the corny lines and all that jazz. The corny pick up lines will just turn me off. Something like, " You have good taste in whatever types of food". That would be okay to get the conversation going.

Definitely no peeking through the cereal boxes at me. I think that is borderline calling the store security. 😄

Agreed! This happened 3 different times with 3 different men, all around my age. I was so scared they might follow me home!
 
I know a single man who once told me that he's afraid to even make eye contact with women at the grocery store, for fear of being labeled a creeper, or accused of harassment. Poor guy, but I understand why he feels that way. It's a crazy world these days.

It's not just that... I've heard it, too... but I've also heard that men can sense
when a woman is "shopping for a side of beef" in a grocery store and it makes
them uncomfortable... so I think it goes both ways.
 
I was buying corn on the cob and a woman next to me ( Kind of cute, my age so I was ready with a great pick-up line) when she picked up an ear and poked her finger into a kernel. I said eeeww I'll bet you are one of those women who likes popping pimples. She looked at me with a grin and her husband said YES! She will chase me around the house if she sees one on my back.
I often talk to people in the store, as I pass by, just comments cause you never know what it will turn into. I have a vegetable stand in my side yard so I assume I will know most people in the area. It can be funny when you keep meeting the same person coming the other way several times. A couple weeks ago it happened with two women who were together. When we met on the third isle I said " I don't know if this is just coincidence, but you should know I am married" ( I'm not but looking) They laughed and even more when we met on the fourth isle and I turned around. I saw they both had rings so it was just for fun.

oh wow...you've still got a teen at home ?... here's us with kids in their 40's and 50's....:ROFLMAO:
 
I got hit on in the grocery store when an older gentleman asked me about jam, lol. I helped him out, and we chatted. After a few minutes, he asked me if I was married. I said, "Yes." It was a fib, I'm widowed, but it was an easy and gentle way to shut him down. You can't tell much in a very brief conversation, but he seemed nice enough. However, he was ancient—not that I'm a young chick, but he was just too old for me.

If an attractive man closer to my age approached me, I'd still be leery of being picked up, but if the vibe seemed right, I might agree to meet him and have coffee in a public place. If we liked each other and he wanted to see me again, I'd probably agree. After finding out a little more about him, if he wanted to continue seeing me, I'd run a background check on him. There are too many whackjobs out there to take anything at face value.

Yeah, if anything even comes from this the first thing would be coffee at a public place to get to know him much better. Then even more getting to know dates in public places before I would even get comfortable being alone with him.

It seems funny to me already, Monica. ;)☺️
Yet, I hope it turns into promising, for you! 🤩
