I was getting some cash out of the ATM the other night when my mobile phone rang. I have Smashing Pumpkins 'Zero' as a ringtone (sad I know!).

After I finished a short conversation, a girl (very pretty!!) made a comment about loving the song & the band.
I said something like "me too, I'm off to see them in concert in couple of weeks" and the converstion flowed.
We exchanged numbers and are meeting up this weekend for a drink.

It's certainly the strangest way I've got a date! Anyone else got similar tales?!!!!

  • :) wow, that's fantastic.

    I think the weirdest way I got a date was this guy I met in a pub and the two of us were talking about how great it was to be single :D . We got on so well we decided to meet the following weekend lol.

    Or there was the guy I was sitting beside at the rugby match.

    But congrats you though... what are you two gonna do? Do you have a spare ticket for the concert to give to her?
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!

    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    if the song Zero got me a date i'd run a fucking mile!!!!!!!!! :eek:

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Ironic thing is, I do have a spare ticket! Going with a couple of mates, but one's dropped out. Not really fair on the other guy though if I turn up with a date!!!

  • At Lolla last year, right before Pearl Jam came on, the girl standing next to me (HOT HOT HOT) said "i love your button!", pointing to the "PWNED!" button on my cowboy hat. We started talking about being internet dorks. At any other time, I would've got a date out of this, but her idiot brother was even more excited about my button than she was. He sort of cut in front of her so he could stand next to me and talk about internet phrases. Well, I shouldn't say he was an idiot...seemed like a nice guy, but he definitely cock-blocked me.

    Son of a bitch :P
