Dare to Self Improve

So I went up to her and nervously said, “Hey, I have to interupt you before I leave because I’d be kicking myself the rest of the night if I didn’t stop and talk to you…” She smiled and looked up at me. Keep talking Arun!

Me: “I never do this, and I’m pretty nervous, but I had to at least say hi.”
Her: “Ah that’s sweet!”
Me: “Are you confident enough to accept a sincere compliment?”
Her: “Umm yea, I guess”
Me: “Good, me too! You go first. Fire away!”

She started laughing. Yes!

Me: “Well, I’ve gotta go meet some friends, but do you wanna swap numbers and get together sometime”
Her: “You’re cute and I totally would, but that’s my boyfriend working behind the counter”

Damn! So it didn’t work out, but I honestly didn’t really care. I just felt awesome for having the balls to try it! There are definitely some advantages to this approach. A little more tomorrow.
