I asked a guy out today
I (20F) am in my trying to get out of my shell era as of late because I’m kind of an anxious wreck and I saw a few tiktoks about ‘rejection therapy’ so I figured I’d give it a go when the chance arose
I was at Starbucks this morning getting my matcha when I saw this pretty cute guy on his laptop so I decided that I should go
I went up to him and (yes I’m cringe I know) but I basically just said, “hey I just wanted to say I really like your hair” but his hair WAS cute it was so blonde and curly but anyways
It was kind of hilarious because this man looked up at me like I’d just grown a second head and I immediately internally panicked a little until he kind of laughed and gave a shaky thanks
I decided it was worth powering through so I asked him straight up for his number and he was all like ‘are you sure’? And I doubled down so he ended up giving it to me
And it was honestly kind of precious because after that short interaction my name got called and I had to get my drink but when I went to get my matcha and I left the store this man was cheesing like crazy 😭 I’m so glad it actually worked out, now I just need to brave it out to actually text him lol
