A guy gives you his number at the Oktoberfest

I was at Oktoberfest last night with a girl friend and we got chatted up by some guys. Long story short, a guy asked if he could meet up with me again and gave me his name card; another guy became friendly with my friend and exchanged numbers.

Considering how much alcohol everyone consumes at Oktoberfest, would you take their words seriously that they are (still) interested or do you think it's the alcohol talking? i.e. would you call him up?

Depends. In general terms are you minging? Do you reckon this guy would have been unlikely to try to pick you up under normal circumstances? If so it's possible that the beer goggles were in use in which case you should call and arrange to meet after he's been on the sauce again. If you're not sure just send him a vague SMS and see what happens.

And by "meet up" he means he wants to fix your sink, and by fix your sink he means he wants to have sex with you, and by have sex with you he means he'll fix your sink...and by sink he means your reproductive organ and by reproductive organ he means the thing between your legs, and by the thing between your legs he means...well I guess that's pretty self explanatory.

Why is Oktoberfest any different from any other night out involving copious amounts of alcohol and meeting strangers? Just do whatever you normally do in these situations.

Disclaimer: I'm working on the assumption that this is not the first time the OP and friend have ever gone out drinking and met someone of the opposite sex.

They probably wanna play footsie..

And by footsie he means fix your sink...

Why didn't you just snog them then and there and leave it at that?

It all rather depends upon whether you fancy him or not, doesn´t it??! - and if you can´t remember, why not call him anyway and get a better look at him - you can always make your excuses after that and never see him again!

My ex-missus once took the morning of work so a plumber could come around and fix our sink.

Bitch. No wonder I divorced her.

You wanted the plumber to fix YOUR sink, then, Von?

A friend told me Gong radio station is giving women a "phone number" to give to men during Oktoberfest, especially if they want to get rid of them. (perhaps unlike the 1st post here) Gong is playing the messages left by these dudes. Too bad my German is so schlekt! This would be great to hear. Maybe I'll have to listen to gong as part of my German homework.

I hate "gotcha" stuff like that; it's just mean.

More important question is did he fix the sink.

Why not..love is always a light switch away.

Obviously, perdido, he fixed the wrong sink, at the very least.

Morning Man Mike ROCKS! He has taken a page out of Rieger and the Bull's notebook, but not gone quite as far as Howard.

That's just awful! Setting people up like that for doing what? Chatting someone up? If you don't like a bloke just bow out politely don't humiliate him on public radio! Who'd do that? Who'd wanna listen?

Anyway to the original poster, do you remember him? do you like him? Did you get a good impression? If so I think you should get in touch and see where it goes. Why not?

(don't belive the pipes theory. I'm sure he just wants to take you for a nice meal and enjoy your company)
