Guy asked me out
It happened about a week ago while browsing a local flea market.
I was in this guys booth looking at some antique items he had on display.
He walked past and said here ma'am let me move those chairs out of your way so you can go into the back of the display if you want to check out the antique glassware.
I said thanks and walked back to that area to browse.
After a few minutes browsing I moved on to the next booth.
I stopped by the concession area got a cup of coffee and sat down at a table.
The same guy came by and asked if he could join me I said sure.
We chatted for about 30 min and it was an awesome chat and he was a really nice down to earth man in his mid 50s.
He ended up asking me to dinner the following evening and I accepted.
I did tell him I wanted to be honest with him about my gender and he stopped to listen.
I told him if that freaks you out I understand.
He thought for a min and said wow I would have never guessed in a million years you weren't female.
He said to me you are a gorgeous woman because that is what I see. I kind of swooned at that comment LOL.
Our dinner date went off without a hitch and we enjoyed each others company.
He asked a ton of questions and was totally OK with being with a trans person.
Our evening ended with a nice hug and a kiss and I could tell it was something very new for him so I didn't kiss too long LOL
He invited me to his antique shop in a close by town to browse what he has there which I probably will in the future.
So you never know what life will bring so get out and experience life.
Don't stay couped up and afraid to go out.

Wow, what are the odds of a chance encounter like that working out? Congratulations.

Congrats, if we can all be so lucky to find someone so understanding.
-
I have been asked out before several times and even a few nice relationships with guys.
This was more normal because he had no idea I was trans the others did know before hand.
-
Tracii, how fantastic. Just fantastic!
-
Tracii, Very nice I am so happy for you!

Hi Tracii :hugs:, That is just so awesome, Keep s posted. >Orchid ..O:daydreaming:O.

That sounds amazing and I'm impressed that your so honest and put your cards on the table, not leaving anything to hide. The best way to start anything is the way you did, tell it like it is because you just never know where somethings are going to lead. Your a great role model for all of us here and especially for the younger ones and if someone does want to indulge with others you handle it well and share to all how to be presentable and respectful. I always look forward to your positive comments on my threads and you have great advice and a lot of common sense. I hope there's more to this story he sounds like a great and respectful gentleman and thanks for sharing.

Sounds great, good for you.
Just goes to show that you never know what the future holds.
-
Just a random happening more than anything I really hadn't planned on even mentioning it here.
More of a just be yourself kind of thread and just by being out there good things do happen.
I was more surprised that he seemed interested enough to search me out and ask to sit down with me for coffee.
I understand some are straight and would never do something like that and thats OK too.
-
Tracii, I am sooo happy for you hon. (and you didn't bother to tell me, ugh). LoL jk You'll have to message me and fill me in on more soon. Rock it out babe! So awesome! Ttys

Romance has a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it, no? So glad to hear you had a wonderful experience!
-
sounds so cute, hope you get many more dates out.
-
You never know where you might meet someone.
Currently I have a boyfriend that chased me down in the grocery store. I was dressed for a Christmas party we were throwing, being the lady of the house I was picking up some last minute items. That was like four years ago , how time flys.
-
So glad to hear you had good time.
-
Tracii, sounds great! Best wishes! Hugs Lana Mae
-
Traci, I want to jump on the bandwagon and share my joy for you. What a validation of how hard we all work to be the best we can become.
It might be a chance encounter that led to the date, but by having the confidence to be out wonderful magic can happen. Giggle, I think I am jealous !
