Right place wrong time

Recently I asked someone I didn’t know out for a drink, and I have to say it was one of the most embarrassing things I have ever done. I got turned down (very sweetly I might add) but the part that I found hard to deal with, was the adrenaline overload I had afterwards. I was so psyched about asking him that my heart must have been ready to explode!

So although I didn’t get the reply I was hoping for, I’m very proud that I asked him nonetheless. I feel like I’ve gained a new type of courage that I didn’t have before. I’ll be honest though, I’m not sure I’d try it again anytime soon: there is only so much rejection one can take before it starts having a detrimental effect.

Most people would have thought I was mental, I mean I really didn’t know the guy. I only knew his name and where he worked; that was it. I can’t even explain why I developed an attraction towards him: he really wasn’t my type. I guess it’s just one of random moments you can’t really explain…

Now I understand why most people don’t ask strangers out. The adrenaline pumping through you is enough to knock out a rhino, plus it’s always a gamble because you never know if their single or not. Obviously in my case, he wasn’t and I wanted to crawl away and hide as a result but still it was a valuable experience that I’ll remember.

P.S. Even though he turned me down, he still said he’d have loved to and that I was “a very beautiful girl”. So I guess that’s something! ^_^
