So, I posted last week about a certain gal I had taken an interest in, and that the next time I saw her I would give her my number. Well, since I didn't see her last night during the contest, I made a special trip out here tonight. Judging from her schedule, she would be here. And she was.

Cue anxiety. For a moment, anyway. ((oh, geez... She's gonna be married, or engaged, and I'm gonna make an arse out of myself.))

I got over that, though, and though she was in mid-conversation when I saw her at first, when I sat down, she came over and started talking to me. After a couple of topics, there was a pause, so I thought to myself, "here's my shot" and it went somewhat like this:

Me: "so, I had some big plan for this, but nothing ever turns out the way it plays out in my head. Anyway, I thing you're really cute, and fun from what I've seen, and I'd really like to take you out to dinner sometime. So, here's my number *hand over slip of paper with my number on it*. If you're interested, give me a call sometime and we'll do something.

Her: *takes slip, looks, pockets it* That would be really nice.

The topic changed a couple times,we talked about this, that, and the other thing, and she had to go clock in.

What this means to me:
She came to me: she likes me, a least in a friend capacity.
...when she wasn't on the clock: she wasn't doing it to butter me up for a tip.
She took my number: she might actually use it.
She stayed around: she wasn't completely horrified at the idea of me showing interest.

So, as Peter Griffen said when he was a Wonder Twin, "Form of - Jana's tampon! Now we play the waiting game."

ETA: At the end of the night, she came up and said, "I've got your number, i'll have to text you mine later." More promising signs...

I even told y'all i would.

I wasn't even freaking out about it (too much) until Momma and K. started demanding i be Rico Suavé, Cary Grant, and Casa-freaking-nova all rolled into one.

Yes! That was a good way to ask, by the way. I'm glad you asked her out. :)

I had this whole Cary Grant cool, suave thing imagined. It came out kinda nervous and awkward instead. But hey, nervous and awkward seems to work for me.

It lets people know that you're confident but not arrogant. I'll fall for smooth talkers, but I never can trust them.
