Never assume "yes" equals a date.
Hello wonderful people, some wanted a new story, some probably wish I shut up, and I bet my mother is wishing I picked a different major and had became rich, whichever side your on, I'm writing a new story.
This one occurred around the same time as my roommate's no-pants parties were on the rage. I work on campus in one of the student dining centers we have, nothing big but helps with paying for bills so I don't live off my parents. Anyways, there's this cute girl, I've known her for awhile, see her all the time and talked to her whenever she worked the same shift as me. Every so often I would talk to her since no one else did, and I wanted to ask her out. So I plan out the whole thing, I have to be smooth, smoother than a smoothie, so I go up to her since she wasn't busy.
Me: "Hello, professorwhom's friend whom he's interested in, how are you?"
Girl: "I'm good, just bored." I could see this is where I need to act, my life had prepared me for this moment and I must cease it!
Me: Yeah, this shift gets pretty boring, but hey, could I ask you something?" A knot in my throat appears, I must focus, I cannot spaz out in front of this girl who is like the goddess Venus in human form. She nods her head yes. "Would you like to go out sometime? I found you interesting and I would really like to get to know you outside of work when we have more time."
Girl: "Yes, I would love to!" When she said that, my mind went blank, I never had this kind of experience where I successfully asked a girl out on a date, I danced into my room. My roommate yelled at me to stop being happy and I told him to piss off, because nothing could bring me down, or so I thought.
So she contacted me through Facebook, this isn't like the movies, she doesn't know how to contact me like magic. I was nervous, do I message her first or does she message me first? So I became the small man-child that I am and asked her first. "Hey, professorwhom's interest, want to go out Saturday?"
Friend replies "Yes" so we meet on Saturday, I'm really excited because this girl is 10/10 in my book, I don't care what others say, she's beautiful, smart and a good sense of humor. We meet near a dorm building and she gives me a gift, I did not expect this.
Me: "You didn't need to bring me a gift" But she insisted, told me to open it. I open the gift and there it was, a bag of tea... I ******* love tea and none of that teabag stuff, this is loose-leaf tea. "I love this! " I admit I lost my masculinity when I saw tea, my father would be ashamed. "Thank you for this, are you ready to leave?"
Girl: "Yep, we just have to wait for my friend, she'll be here in a few minute." This is when I freeze time to access my situation, plus side, it wasn't a guy, downside this is probably no longer a date nor was it ever one. Friend comes out and we head to a nice restaurant nearby the school. We chatted, talked about interests, where she's from, how it was different living in the Midwest. Then she starts talking about her boyfriend.
The moment she said "Boyfriend" I was sent to a new realm, one like hell with girls you can eat with but won't go farther than that. Well, this sucks I thought to myself but I'm not letting it ruin this nice meal. We still chatted and when it came to the bill, I paid... even for her friend her ordered her own dish. The girl always talks to me still, gives me tea and candy every time she sees me, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
Moral of the story, never assume "yes" means a date. There could be gaps in translations and you don't want to end up like me on a date, do you? Anyways, that's it for this story, I think I'm going to make some tea and weep a bit about my poor choices in life. Until next time! Like last time, leave any comments, I take all forms of criticism and ridicule.
