Story time:

Last weekend, I was at the farmer's market, and as I'm walking nearby, I say Hi to a very cute girl going speedily in my opposite direction. She starts asking me some random shit about this high school fair set up near the market since she runs it. I kind of milk the convo, but she walked off since it looked like she was on a mission. Anyways, 5 mins of browsing the market and about to leave, but I see her again at one of the booths. I come up and start looking at fruits, and telling the older lady running that booth I wanted a couple of apples, and I strike up another conversation with the girl. She was telling the older lady how I was saying Hi earlier, and she thought I worked at that high school fair, in which I responded by saying, "Oh no, I wanted to talk to you earlier because I thought you were very cute."

She got so flattered she ducked down under the table with the nicest smile every. I proceeded to chat her up about random this and that after we introduced ourselves. But then, I chicken out asking for the number/date and told her I'll see her next week.

I should say, at this point last week, I'm 3 weeks into this 'world', so I thought to myself 'nice approach and practice, but you're still an idiot for not going for the full close that time'. Anyways, zoom to today at the same market in which I figured I swing by to get some breakfast. I'm tired as shit, and got coffee there and bought some stuff here and there. I see her again (which I was hoping for) at the main booth, and I say Hi.

She responds by saying how I'm doing and that she remembers me from last week. I was pretty stoked, so I picked up where we left off last week and just chatted about more personal shit this time. She's super cool, and I'm crushing hard at this point. I was going to ask her to get coffee with me after she's done with work, so I start by saying "Hey, I don't want to take too much of your time at work, but... " And then boom, I chicken AGAIN! She jumps in and says, "Okay. I should get back to work anyways. Come back again next weekend!" and I booked it. FUCKKKK. FUCKKKKK. I feel so much fuck it's mentally fucking every part of my mentality right now, so I'm thankful I'm channel this onto you guys here. I'm four weeks now into this, where I even I got this sweet number close a few days earlier on another girl near my neighborhood, but this whole encounter today felt like I got set back to day 0. Fuck.

Anyways, some feedback of how I could have done that differently would be cool. FUCK.
