Random Pick-up Opportunities
The other day I found a random note in one of my Facebook "other" folders (bet you did not know that existed...read the note at the end for where it is).
It was a very heartfelt note from a 56 year old,single man. As you may be aware, on Facebook, they will post pictures from other people's pages of their friends on this revolving list. He had seen my picture and decided to throw caution to the wind in the event I was available...a fact he could have found out by simply reading my profile.
I messaged him back and simply told him "Sorry, I am married".
Now, this begs the question....how successful could this approach be? If you throw enough peas at a wall, some will stick, as they say. Does anyone reading this have any interesting stories to recollect about randomly picking up someone via this or a similar approach?
Years ago, before the internet, cell phones, etc. I knew someone who did quite well calling wrong numbers and making small talk when he hit just the right lady. He did amazingly well getting laid this way.
Note; On Facebook where it says "Messages" there are actually 2 folders. One is "Inbox" the other is "Other". It will not usually indicate that there are messages in that other. Go check yours and see if something has not been sitting there for a long time.
