I surprised the fuck out of myself today. I went to look at that vintage chair, and the girl who came out to show it was a total knockout! Flawless, as far as I was concerned, and not just her appearance, although that was as close to perfect as I've seen; really sweet, nice girl, and friendly too. Aside from the fact that I didn't freak out & get all awkward (for which I was very proud of myself), I ended up debating all the way home after buying it, whether or not I should take a chance & ask her out. I mean I knew there was no way this girl could be single, but I just kept thinking how attractive she was & how cool she seemed to be, and thought to myself, "Why not? What's the worst that can happen?" She could be rude about it, in which case I'd be glad to know, so I wouldn't end up dwelling on 'what-ifs'.
I finally did text her, which is huge for me. Like, no joke, it's a pretty big deal, asking out someone I literally just met less than an hour before. I was prepared to never hear from her (I had a feeling she wasn't the type to be rude though, just from our 5 minute interaction). It took her a couple hours, but she did write back - said she was "happily in a relationship", but thanks for the invite, and it was nice meeting me.
So, no earth-shattering rejection, no ridicule, etc, just a polite, "sorry". I'm choosing to imagine that it took her so long to reply because she was tempted to say yes, not because she was busy or something. Yeah, it's probably bullshit, but it makes me feel good, and I'll never know any different (unless she keeps my number & changes her mind later!), and so as long as it's my story, I'll tell it to myself any way I want, right?
Damnit though... this girl was fine! Why couldn't she have been single & said yes? lol
