I completely wimped out...

I was at the grocery store, stocking up on soy yogurt and broccoli. Hanging out in the produce section, I notice a guy... with reusable bags in his cart... He stocks up on soy yogurt, too. Omega enriched soymilk and mushrooms as well. I got all excited, thinking maybe I had actually found another vegan in this stupid town. I turn my cart around to say hello or something, and... nothing. I'm a wimp.
But, seriously, I think there may actually be another vegan here!! Even if I don't have the nerve to ask.
I'll find out that, no, he's not vegan, he's lactose intolerant... and hey, where's the deli counter?
I dunno.
aww well even if that did happen its not liek u would really see him again but if it did then.. woah! a new vegan buddy!
You rock, you can do it...
If you want.
But it would suck if he was deli counter boy. :P I might keep him in my dreams so he can stay vegan there rather than possibly ruin it by finding out for sure... but that's crazy wacky me. ;)
I live in a stupid town as well, the other day I saw a girl driving around with a go vegetarian sticker, I wanted to follow her, but thought it might be creepy.
Horay for finding veg friendly people in a not veg friendly town! YAY!
Don't be hard on yourself, that is a tough situation to speak up in because he was shopping and you probably didn't want to bother him. On the other hand, if you see him again be sure to bother him :) Pretending to twist an ankle works if you want him to speak to you first. hehe trickery.
Heh, I ask EVERYONE if there's any suspicion. ;) This girl in one of my classes was talking about how milk is bad for you and mentioned the milksucks website and I go "are you vegan?!?!?" and she's like "NO." ;D But like someone said, you have nothing to lose, but you can gain a vegan bud!
I ask people all the time when I'm working and see what's in their cart. If they're real nice I point them to the HFS since we really don't care a lot of vegan items besides veggies, beans and rice. :)
*UGH* I have done that about a thousand times! I just don't think I'm cool enough to hit on a guy :-\ Next time you ee him just flash him a beautiful vegan smile and see if he responds! You can do it!
Oh, no. Not at all looking to hit on anyone. I'm happily married. But it would be great to have a few real life friends that I could have over for potlucks, ya know?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D You know if she saw it and she called the cops that would've been a very hard thing to explain. ;D ;D :D :D ;D ;D :D :D I'm just kidding.

i totally do the same thing. oh and if i here some kind of heresay that someone is vegan (that i don't actually know) next time i see then i will be like 'so, i heard your a vegan? cool, me too." (p.s. i freak people out)

i was about to post saying 'isn't tkitty MARRIED, guys?' but you got to it first.

Oh my bad! I thought it had a "checking out the guy" kind of connotation...sorry! :-[
Nah, that's okay. I'm just fascinated by people... I always people watch. Especially in the grocery store. I'm intrigued by the shit that people buy.
Hm, maybe try to have a line ready for such cases, like:
'Hm, soy yougurt? Do I detect a vegan around here? My husband told me I'm the only one in the tri-state area.'
OK, thats odd, but something along those lines that you can just whip out when the need calls. And you throw a mention of your husband in there, so if its a guy you make it clear that you're not lookin' for any hanky panky.
I flat out ask people, and usually get an odd look and a 'No.'
