One method I use to find new business is to jot down the phone numbers of trucks I see around town. Plumbers, contractors, etc.

Several months ago, I saw a truck in a parking lot near where I live. Didn't say what it did, but I was curious. Pulled up the website. Called to see about getting an appt. He shot me down but said to stay in touch.

So I included him on my monthly shindig email distribution list.

As I was making introductions, I saw his name tag and knew immediately who he was even though we'd never met.

My heart be still. O.M.G.
Amazing intense blue eyes. He's Israeli - so has that really sexy accent. He's a former special ops guy - and he just oozes it. He's not really great at working the room, however, like most other folks I know there, I introduce them to groups of people. He thanked me. We talked a bit. Well, a lot. Didn't uncover if he's married or involved, but there was a definite vibe... He was not overly touchy but he made a point from time to time to make contact. I didn't pounce him although I did have an impure thought or two...

My concern is with foreign guys - the body language and other stuff is not always the same. I think of the Brazilian - he was gay and I 'dated' him for company events if I didn't have a date for 2 years. After wondering why he wasn't making a move at all on me, I learned he was living with a guy for several years... So there is that 'interference' that foreigns throw into the pot with reading them.

Back to Mr. Dreamy... he said he wanted to sit down with me as soon as possible. I told him my schedule was pretty crazy this week, but I'd call him today to see what we could do for next week. We didn't even talk further about what I do, and obviously I have little to offer when it comes to military intelligence...
