Creepy McCreeperson Award

I have to give mad props to Mormon boys in Utah who are into their professional careers and still single but out to meet girls through their everyday life. In a place where 50-75% of the population is claiming to be Mormon and we have one of the lowest average ages for marriages its a little tricky to tell who is available and who is off the market and who doesn't have the same priorities. So to every guy that has met a girl through professional workday routines and asked her out I am impressed. I'm even more impressed though if it went well.

Today I was walking into a company I work with and standing on the front staircase is a guy I'd guess to be in his late 20's or early 30's waiting out front for someone. As I was supposed to meet someone I will admit taking a moment to look and see if he was who I was meeting. He wasn't. I found my contact, went in and took care of what I needed and was headed back to my car down the stairs when he came walking back up. Just as he passed me he commented "Isn't this great weather" to which I turned and replied that It was and I wished it would last for a few more months and he informed me it wouldn't. so far so good. unfortnatly this was the only truly normal point in teh conversation.

him: do you work here?
me: no, they are a client of ours.
him: how did you get into your job? Don't you love sales?
me: yes, I love what I do
him: so what other companies do you work with, do you come here often? (isn't that a line used at bars?)
me: lately I come here a lot, I work with companies all along the Wasatch Front though
him: so where do you live?
me: Utah county...
him. oh cool. What's your name?
me: my name is sarah
him: nice to meet you. (he shook my hand and stepped back. he had a VERY WEIRD handshake. major annoyance of mine)
me: so your name is...?
him: Dave.
him: so who do you live with?
me: friends
him: oh fun, how often do you see your roommates or family?
me: (creep-o-meter going off) pretty often
him: oh, ok. are your roommates boys or girls?
me: girls
him: oh, well ok. That sounds like it would be cool. i like to go to that area sometimes
me: yes my roommates and I have fun.
him: I have a house in Murray, it's 15 minutes to anywhere in the valley from there, Utah county is close. What city do you live in?
me: lehi... (no I don't really live in Lehi, yes I guess that means I lied. It was for a good cause though)
him: that is a pretty area.
me: I think I need to go.
him: You should look me up, I'm always around. (Insert images of him jumping out of the bushed by my office)
me: ...ok...

I'd like to announce that if I disappear, stop blogging, can't be reached by my phone or anything else, come looking for me and then go question Dave "around" the company. Report him to the police.

And Dave, next time something like: "want to grab something really quick" or "want to get together and talk more sometime" would both have been much more normal and I probalby would have said yes but instead, you won the Creepy McCreeperson Award for today.

i personally prefer the term Creepy McCreeperpants.

I'm sorry for your unfortunate incident. Though attracting the crazies always makes for good stories later.;)
