Yesterday I went to Midland because I'm volunteering in some adult ESL classes at Midland College. After class (it's weird to be back in a classroom btw) I was really sleepy so I went to the Starbuck's in Barnes and Noble to get some food and coffee. I ordered my tall americano and sat down to enjoy it when a guy standing a couple feet away starts talking to me. "How's your day going?" Pretty simple question, and I like to think I'm friendly so I just started talking to him. Turns out he's a geologist from Alaska that works downtown. All in all the conversation lasted probably like 4 minutes, and then I felt it coming... I could tell he was going to ask for my phone number... how do I politely say no without seeming like a jerk? Well, luckily for me he doesn't ask for my number. He offers to give me his instead. Holy smokes. I can't say no, but I can take it and never call. This is a much better option. He gives me a business card with his personal number written on the back and tells me if I ever want to talk or get coffee or something I should call. He leaves and I immediately freak out.

Here's a picture so you people don't think I'm making this up. And I purposefully covered up the whole number for privacy sake, but now that I think about it if a guy's just giving his number out to anyone he has a four minute conversation with he probably wouldn't mind if I posted it online.
