Well to start off, I've been lurking on the reddit for a while now I can be hopelessly obvious when it comes to subtle social queues (ex: extended eye contact, girls going out of their way to talk to me etc) and I decided to do something about it. So me and my friends were hanging out today and we decided to go to Wendy's to get something to eat. We ordered our stuff and proceeded to the pay window and there was this surprisingly attractive girl working there (no disrespect to people who work in the fastfood industry, i'm just not looking for a pretty face on the drive through I'm trying to eat!) but I didn't give it a second thought. I was in my own head and I could hear my friend joking around with her but she isn't giving him much attention for one reason or another. As soon as she gives us the money my friends scream " NO!!! Goalkeeper5!! What are you doing?? I was soo confused I didn't know what was going on until they told me she was checking me out...so after we get the food I make up in my mind that I was gonna find a reason to go back and who knows....I might get at least a name and a number.

After my friends and I went our separate ways I set out to step out of my comfort zone (My problem is I'm a great closer, but a shitty opener.....for now). I kind of space out on the way home and complete forget to go to that particular Wendy's, tempted to just continue home I man up and turn the car around. I get to the Wendy's and there is huge line, again I was so tempted to just quit and go home (I mean I had a legitimate excuse, why wait through a long line just to just to talk to some girl I don't know.) And again I puff out my chest and endure the line. I finally get there and decide I want an apple pie (because a: if I get an apple her name and number that's a triple win or b: I don't get her number and I have an apple pie for trying...those things are the shit)...I finally go up to the window and see her and...after a few minutes or verbal fumbling on my part and awkward conversation I get shot down. At that moment I felt sooo proud of myself. Even though I got rejected I didn't come up with any bullshit excuse, I grew some balls and I TRIED. I still feel like I can take the world, something about that some experience made me feel like I had a world of growth. I'm so happy I did that

TL;DR: Just read it, chances are you're bored anyway...lazy
