So, I am a cashier at a local grocery store. I know. Pretty glamourous, right? Well, earlier this week, a really super attractive guy came through my line and he seemed pretty nice as I was talking to him. We both found out that we are students and he works as a real estate person. Just as I was finishing his order, and before he left, he reached in his pocket and pulled out a business card and gave it to me.
Being the awkward person I am, I took it and put it in my pocket because I didn't know what else to do with it. Did he give me the business card so I could have his phone number? Or did he give it to me because he thought I would need to buy some real estate?
After talking to a couple of people (both boys and girls), the consensus was that he was just too chicken to ask for my phone number.
So, fast forward to today. He came through my line again at work and he remembered me. So, I started to think that maybe he really did want me to have his number and that maybe he didn't really give his business card to everybody he talked to. He really is kind of a hottie pants and he was super nice, so after a lot of encouragement from my roommate, I decided to text him.
Needless to say, that went against everything I believe in and was way out of my comfort zone, but I gritted my teeth and sent a simple "hey, remember me? How are you?" message to him, hoping that he wouldn't think I'm a crazy. My heart was literally pounding in my chest! (Ask my roommate, she can attest to my "freaking out" state of being).
Anyway, I will spare the gory details, but after a couple of forced texts, I came to realize that he really did give me his business card for business purposes and it was not a subtle way for him to give me his phone number.
...............................................awkward..............................................a lot.....................................
But, that's ok. Moral of the story: it was brave of me to take initiative. And it was super awkward and funny. The end.
Now that you know my story, what would you have done in my situation?
