First off, I want to say thanks seddit for everything. For the past few weeks I've been incorporating a lot of what I've read here in my every day life. As a result, every day is a lot more interesting.

So ever since I moved in on day one this semester I thought my RA was really cute. We haven't talked much, but I decided I'd like to get to know her better.

I had noticed some strong IOI's the last time I saw her, which was about a week ago, but I was too scared to do anything about it. Since then, I'd been thinking about her nearly every time I leave the building, as her room is right next to the elevator.

I decided I'd see her I'd ask her out. But my school is huge and I don't see her on a regular basis so there was no chance to do anything.

Had a great day today so my confidence was strong. I get home from class, and decide, fuck it, today is the day. Put down my bags, throw my stuff in the washing machine. Promised myself that when I move my wet clothes into the dryer I'd have at least given it a shot.

Walked up to her door, hesitated, hesitated again, and finally knocked. She answers the door, doesn't look like she's in a great mood.

Me: "Hey, Claire"

Her: Hey thumbmouth, what's up?

We talked about an event on our floor last week that I couldn't make, I asked her about it, etc.

Me: Hey, do you know this awesome sandwich place downtown?

Her: Yeah I love it.

Me: What kind of sandwich do you get there?

Her: (strange sandwich kind)

Me: (teases her about sandwich)

Me: I was about to head over in about an hour after my laundry's done, would you like to join me?

Her: Uh I can't.. pause I uh, have a meeting

Me: That's a shame. Well, I heard they're playing Twilight at the events room. I'm really excited for that. Maybe I'll see you there.

Her: smiles yeah definitely.

And that was it. So it wasn't the best outcome, but damn it felt great to finally stop wondering about it. Abundance mentality. I walked back to my room grinning cause it felt so good to have the confidence to just walk up to her room and ask her out. In retrospect, it might have been a bit weird to just do it out of the blue like that, but whatever.

I plan on asking out another girl from class soon, just for the hell of it. Sorry that this turned out to be a bit long, but I'm feeling so good right now. Thanks seddit for the confidence, I'm having a lot more fun in uni as a result.
