On my way home, I go into Londis, our local corner shop which is run by a Hindi family. I've been going there for nearly 3 years. As I'm paying, the man behind the counter says
"How's your boyfriend?"
"No boyfriend" I say (fool, idiot!). "Poor me, hey?"
"I don't have a girlfriend.I'm looking for a girlfriend. Think about me, hey?"
I laugh, like he's making a joke, but oh no.
"What do you think about me?"
"Um, you're very cute?" I venture.
"I've been thinking about you for 6 months." he says. "Seriously, think about it.".
Holy flying fuck, I can never go into Londis again, the mortal embarrassment will kill me.
Where can I do my grocery shopping now?

*looks into crystal ball* - and sees a little Tesco's online shopping in the near future.
Hahaaaaa. Okay. I shouldn't laugh but it's happened to me...so I giggle in commiseration tee hee...
Here's a tip: next time he tells you 'I'm looking for a girlfriend,' just say 'me too' and give him a wink.
He'll never bother you again.
Unless you want a change of career as 'Cornershop Person' of course?
You obviosuly exude 'Grocer'. ;-)
He's been thinking about you for six months? I hope it was ONLY while he was working....
That's such a coincidence: I've been thinking about you for six months, as well!
So basically you're looking to turn down the cute heir to a large cornershop empire...?!?
Are you sure it wasn't Sanjiv off the Television Kumars who was just pulling your leg?
Alda's got it in one!
US, you're so right. I'm going to bookmark them this instant.
GG, this is no laughing matter. Tell me how you dealt with it, quick.
Alda, damn, that would have been perfect! In French I think they call it l'esprit du l'escalier, what you think of to say too late, when you're halfway down the stairs afterwards.
Greavsie, I've always quite fancied my own pricing gun. Not to mention a checked overall.
Nat, I hope so too (*chills*)
Destructor, you tease. How can that be, when this only started 4 months ago? Or did you find a wormhole?
(BTW, I blame your friend. After an afternoon's drinking with him my wits were not as razorsharp as usual.)
JonnyB, when you put it like that... what was I thinking?
Cream, he is tragically like Sanjiv from the Kumars. Except not fictional.
;-)
Humour, or ignore or bluntness, Annie.
Alda has the right answer if he brings it up again.
He's NOT Arjun Rampal material, I take it.
I just googled Arjun Rampal GG - phwoar, if only!
Chuckle. Blame me eh. I recall offering you coffee as well. ;-)
You'll have to shop online now.
