It Takes Guts!
The older I get, the more I seem to grow some balls and actually do some of the things that I wished I did, when I was much younger. Things like taking a chance and not freaking out, looking at a girl from a distance and actually approaching her, or just stepping out of my comfort zone and giving it a shot. This year though, I’m rather proud of myself and my feats since I’ve managed to ask a girl out for coffee and though it was short lived, were together as a couple. Then there’s the job fronts where I’ve let go of attachments, taken a chance and do something that I want to learn and love. Although I have some doubts about the current status of my work, there is no regrets whatsoever and I am happy I did it.
The latest event was just last Friday in which I went to the mall as I was accompanying a friend who was after a birthday present for his girlfriend. We met up with Mish and went to her work upstairs. It was there, that I saw one of the most beautiful woman in a long time. I tried to play it cool and not gawk at her as one would, but I couldn’t help myself, she was simply that good.
I walked away once we were done with the shopping and told Mish and Albz that I would return and compliment her on how she looks. Both wanted to witness it and I wasn’t willing, especially when both act like school children and will giggle silly. I had to drop Albz off at home and had to return to the mall to pick up Mish. Once at the mall, I called Squeaks and asked her “Would it be creepy if I went up to a girl and just said something like wow you’re beautiful?” “NO!! You should totally do it, girls love that kind of stuff”. Upon hearing that, I gathered my thoughts and went upstairs to do what I set out.
Oh gosh, there she is and she’s smiling *nose bleed*… I couldn’t exactly chicken out now as I entered into the store and with a composed manner proceeded to say the following:
” Hey, I just wanted to get my words out, before Mish who happens to be my flatmate beats me to it”
” I just wanted to thank you for making my day and for being as beautiful as you are”
“Aaaww thank you” ( I was still holding it together, at this stage)
” I’m not sure what it is about you, but you have an aura and I can’t help but be attracted to it.”
“I really don’t know what to say” (It’s at this stage that she smiles once more and I have to BAIL OUT!!)
“So whatever you do, I hope you have good night and once again thank you”
*Calmly walk out and remain cool*
As I went to meet Michelle, I couldn’t stop grinning and marvel at my recent accomplishment. I didn’t want to ask for her number or coffee since I gathered that a lady of her calibre would surely be flattered, asked out and wooed constantly. If anything, I just wanted to get off what was on my chest and let the universe take care of the rest.
