i saw this mentioned online elsewhere and it reminded me of how, years ago, i was talking to a friend of mine and she suggested i try asking someone out at the grocery store. i've never done this because it sounds absolutely bonkers. i don't think i've ever even chatted someone up at a grocery store, much less thought it would be appropriate to ask someone out there. like, i'm there to get the groceries and get out, i'm assuming that's what most other folks are there to do as well, right? so i'm curious. have you, or anyone you've known, ever asked out someone (or been asked out by someone) to a date while at the grocery store? and if so... did it work?!

Normal people are able to make small talk in places like grocery stores when you are say trying to pick out flowers next to someone on and sometimes first impressions can lead to wanting to have further interactions with people. I swear online dating apps have ruined people. I met my husband at a bar and people don't believe me.

I met someone at a Minyard's YEARS ago when I was a teenager playing Street Fighter (it was an arcade cabinet that the grocery store had). We hung out for a while and did some more teen stuff together. I hope she's doing well today.

You’re supposed to dig through their cart and find common ground. Like “oh hey, I like cake too, what’s your favorite flavor?”

If the Super Target counts as a grocery store that’s the place.

I heard that timing is everything if you're going to try and pick up someone at the grocery store. Weeknights are usually bad, but apparently Friday after 5pm the place becomes a meat market full of singles shopping for more than fresh produce. I'd be quite flattered if someone flirted with me at the grocery store, regardless of how busy I might be.

For what it's worth, I met my current partner of 5+ years when I sold her something on FB Marketplace. Love can blossom anywhere I guess.

That's really cool. I'm too scared of people online. I have to at least meet them in person for the vibe check. I'm happy for you that you have a unique story of how you met.

i get a fair amount of compliments at the grocery store which is kind of awkward because I usually do my grocery shopping blazed afdreezy posted:you can hit on the cashiers all you want because theyll get fired if they try to get away from you. neat trick. there’s this super cool girl that works at the corner store I hit up for caffeine all the time and when she’s working she’ll end up chatting with me and my friends. i really want to invite her to hang out with us sometime but even for a non romantic kind of thing that seems impossibly rude to ask while someone is working

Luckily I got to form most of my opinion about meeting people from online a little later in life, since I only had dialup at home as a kid (my dad had broadband, but I only got to visit him one night a week, every other weekend, and over the summer, which was the custody agreement my parents had after they divorced). Knowing my mother I'm sure she would have given me a very stern talking to if I had ever mentioned talking to people online, and warned me that there were all kinds of predators out there. Met some guy online when I was in college who was also into hockey, and he came out to Arizona for some concert and we went to a pickup hockey session together. He also brought along a friend I had never met, who blasted a shot into my goalie mask during warmups. I felt pretty dizzy the whole session from that. That "friend of a friend" dude also crashed in my closet a couple nights.
