faith night, the sadly non-important part

i was sitting next to a man who was there with what appeared to be a jr high baseball team. there was a row of them sitting behind us with one adult, and then the man next to me and a younger boy, probably a younger brother who got to tag along, and one other boy, who was able to move back with the rest of the team when they saw there was an open seat. when they all came to sit down, i thought, ooh, maybe the man will sit next to me. he really should. 35-40ish, no ring, light brown hair, stubbly beard, nice eye wrinkles, and he smelled good (like soap, not like strong cologne or something). i'd guess two of the boys were his, but i don't mind. they were all very well-behaved, and they went to faith night after the game.
but i'm so bad at the whole 'hi, what a nice group of kids you have here. is it a baseball team?'-type talking to attractive men, that i remain single.
he did have a sweatshirt that said the name of the town that my parents are vacationing at this week, so i told them if they go to church to keep an eye out for him. my dad said he would be sure to sniff all the young men to see if they fit my description.

me talking to the guy in the first place, or my dad literally sniffing him out?

I meant your dad sniffing him out, but so would have you talking to him in the first place! Or both. :)

those are great options for opening comments! Both the "nice group of kids" and "my parents are vacationing there" comments. Oh well, here's hoping your dad can sniff out the guy surreptitiously without making him not want to meet his daughter ;-)

i'm sure if he does, the man will definitely find it romantic, not creepy. it's like a glass slipper, except more personal. :)

Hehe I'm just picturing one man leaning over smelling another man's shoulder. That qualifies as creepy to me :)
