Just as a disclaimer, I am an ugly (or at least not attractive) looking person. You can look at my profile and see me if you want proof.

I was at Starbucks today, my usual one. A girl was sitting next to me, I was paying attention to my studies so I didn’t really like pay too much attention.

I needed to use the restroom, and noticed she was next to me, has headphones on but scrolling through her phone so didn’t look super busy. I was just like, “Hey, I’m sorry to bother you, but can you just look over my stuff I gotta use the restroom really quick?” And she said yeah sure, and smiled lightly. I made a coy joke like “I’m counting on you,” or something along those lines.

I came back and she saw me coming back and I told her, “Didn’t have to fight anyone off, did you?” and she chuckled and said “No thankfully I didn’t have to,” and I told her, “Good, there’s a lot of highly classified stuff on here,” and she just chuckled again. I don’t know, I felt like she wasn’t disturbed or too bothered. She was also looking at me when I was lightly talking to her. So I continued. I reached my hand out and introduced myself, and she did too.

I asked her what she was working on, and she briefly told me and I asked questions about it. I never felt like she was dismissing me, or using one word answers. We talked for like a good few minutes or more. I ended it by just telling her that I don’t wanna take too much of her time, but I told her I’d love to talk to her more and I’m free saturday afternoon for some coffee if she’d like to join me. Believe it or not, she said yes! I gave her my number, told her to text me and I’ll make the arrangements. Then I packed up and left.

My heart was racing the whole time haha, I’m very shocked that she said yes. I was expecting absolutely nothing, as you should with these kinda things. Especially, as an ugly man, I assume that she would have been repulsed by me even trying to talk to her. Maybe this will serve as motivation to some. Just do it. No one is gonna think you’re weird or creepy, and if they do then oh well that’s their problem.
