Momentous Occasion

I decided to be daring yesterday. Dont' ask me why--after 24 years of being scared and introverted--I decided to contradict my entire being , but I did.

I may or may not have given my phone number to a stranger. Not in the traditional "Hey, here's my number, call me sometime" way...cuz that would be way too easy and logical. And I dont' do easy. Or logical. Besides, you couldn't expect me to completely abandon my fearful tendencies all at once. Baby steps.

So, let me tell you my story. Cuz it's hilarious.

I went to a certain place of business to pick up something that was getting fixed. Walked in. Waited to be helped. Noticed cute boy in the back. Paid for things, and went outside **sidenote--it was pouring rain** So this thing I was picking up, would not cooperate with me, and I couldn't seem to get it into my car. So one of the workers came out, and I asked for his help, he says he has to run in and do something else, and he would be back. But who comes out instead?? Cute boy from the back. So he helps me load my car. We chat for a few minutes (I swear he was flirting). And I leave.

Of course, the whole way home I worked out what I should have said, how I should have acted. And by the time I got home, I had totally worked up my courage. So I google this particular business. find their email. And send them a nice little message saying something like "Hello. I was just wondering if you had any single employees who happened to help a girl with a VW Beetle. If so, could you please give him my number, and see if he wants to take me out. If he's not single, delete this email and please don't mention it to him? Thank you."

I haven't heard back yet. And I'm kinda freaking out. And feeling pretty stupid.

Yay for me, facing my fears.
