Day Sixteen

01 May 2007

Time: 21:52

Today was a lot, lot simpler than yesterday! All I had to do was to ask a women or a few for a coffee inside a coffee shop and then actually sit and chat with her. The most part of today was spent finding a girl who wasn't in a big group or with a partner. I saw some girl I had fancied when I was about 6-9 and decided to chat to her as I hadn't seen her since about the same time. I invited her for coffee though I knew I couldn't count it as I already knew her even though it had been such a long time. She politely declined but took my number and gave me hers. I eventually found someone, but once I found her I walked past once and came up with an excuse. Decided to turn around walk past again this time approaching her directly and asking the fatal question... "Sure" that's it, no death defying stunts no awe inspiring pick up stories. "Hey do you mind if I come have a coffee with you?" and the response being "Sure". Now if that isn't easy then what is. It makes me wonder why I've spent all that time in the past sitting alone when I can plainly see there are people who would enjoy my presence.The conversation wasn't great to be honest but I blame myself mostly. We discussed shopping, my work and nothing all too interesting for either of us but I stayed until I had to rush off, drink in hand, back to work. Funnily enough, I didn't even buy a coffee, I actually had a drink in my pocket so just sat drinking that.
