It is interesting that he seemed to ask you out because he saw you in the pharmacy section. Maybe he didn't mean it that way, but it seems he said it that way. I wish I had paid attention to my intuition when my husband asked me out for the first time after seeing me cry and be miserable. Some guys are looking for women they can rescue, and it doesn't work out very well.

I was searching ads for a place to live (getting divorced - it took me 20 years, but my husband didn't want a woman who wants to live her own life and it's finally over). I gave up on finding an apartment that I could afford that would let me have my cats, so I was looking at roommates wanted. There was one ad where some guy advertised that if there were a woman who wants to be rescued, she could be his roommate for $1 a month, plus doing the cooking and cleaning and some data entry work for him. He went on to specify that this woman should be between 25-50 years old, and thin. And that he felt it would be a great opportunity for a woman down on her luck. Um, no, thanks! I'd rather be homeless.
