Moments like this make shitloads of rejections worth it :D

This really cute redhead is working at the reception at the gym where I often go. I thought about approaching her, but she had a ring on. Then one day I was waiting for the elevator with her (but didn't recognize her). She looked at me twice and smiled a bit. When the elevator arrived to the gym - she ran out and ran past the queue. I waited in the queue and when it was my turn and she was giving me my key, she said:

"Here you go, guy from the elevator"

"Wow, I didn't recognize you! It was so confusing, why would anyone run to the gym and ignore the queue!"

She laughed.

On my way back I handed her the key:

"Here you go, elevator girl"

She laughed. Then I said:

"You're cute, how about you give me your number?"

The look on her face became sad and guilty and she said:

"I'm so sorry, but I can't. But I'm very flattered that you asked!"

"Ok, got it, no problem, have a great weekend!"

​

Next week when I showed up at the gym, she came to hand me the key and said:

"I wanted to apologize for my behavior last time. I have a fiance, we've been together for 6 years and that's why I didn't give you my number"

​

I was shocked. No ghosting/flaking. Not "thanks, no" or weird looks. I was treated like a human being and she was a 8-9 (even though I find this 0-10 metric silly :D ). That was probably my most inspiring experience with approaching girls to date!
