Or perhaps needs to protest a little bit more, or maybe have some type of reaction...
If you know me you may (or may not) know that I am extremely shy. I find it very difficult to ask that simple question of, "Do you want to go out sometime?"
Long story of why I believe this to be, perhaps someday I will put finger to key and get it out there.
Mostly because I want to get to know a lady before asking her out... Although most will say that is what they are looking for, it ends up ruining the chances as we have entered the friend zone.
If/when I do end up getting the nerve to ask that question and get that elusive first date and then actually keep them going, and become 'a couple'... I believe I end up being a pretty good boyfriend. (Should anyone who has dated me reads this and disagrees, please don't tell me... Let me continue being blissfully unaware.)
All that being said.
A scenario to consider:
I am currently working with a nice girl who has a great personality and seems very fun. I think we could get along nicely. (BONUS: She is close to my age and is not married, and does not have any kids. I have found that tough to find today depending on where you located.)
While chatting she mentioned that it is tough for her as most guys don't want to taker her out or date her.
I said, "I would love to take you out, are you working Friday?"
She thought for a second and said she was. It was left at that as we had to get to work...
Optimistically I was hope for "Sure", or "Maybe we could do something after work", or "I work Friday but I am off on _______".
Alas, no... Nothing more was really said.
So I have to ask, where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long? Could she still be interested and is just as shy about this sort of thing as me? Should I keep asking?
I would think that if she was at all interested, she would have suggested an alternate time, of course I have been wrong before.
Then again, maybe I should take it as a practice run that was not meant to be.
There is another that I had been trying to be bold enough to ask out. We have similar taste in books and TV shows.
Maybe just maybe, if I am lucky. She will be working tomorrow and I will have enough courage and the opportunity to ask her out after I had my little dry run today...
Who knows, maybe this one will say yes...
