Yes I used the clickbait title but I need to grab a reader's attention somehow. Also before you all hound me for saying this with me being in high school and all, this is purely just "gather around the campfire and tell the story". I know I still have a lot to learn and will never learn everything so I need to keep my mouth shut, chin up, and become a powerhouse and trudge through all the bullshit in life knee deep and never give up. Again, hopefully this inspires some of you and makes you laugh as much as I did

Today I was walking with a friend to buy food, passed by a girl from a neighboring school when I realized I could try the line on her after speaking to her privately after and when we circled back she was gone. Then I said I would walk back with another friend because I wanted to make my own opportunity. As my new friend and I were walking toward the store again I saw this girl I fancied from my school. I hesitated and didn't go for it. I was considering walking back to school but said "mamma ain't raise no quitter" and decided I would go for it because it's what I wanted

I run into her again with my friend slightly away, and I ask if I can talk to her. Now instead of introducing myself by saying "My name is (name), what's yours?" it slipped my mind and I skipped to "You seem like a fun f-friend (yeah I stuttered it was hilarious). What's your number?" and she had the you're attractive but wow man what the fuck are you doing look and said "Um I'm good, thanks" and left. I embraced it though and felt proud I had the balls to go for it despite not before. No matter how attractive you are no guy could have pulled that off with the zoning-out and nervousness I had I have had much smoother interactions but today just wasn't my day. Cons are; me fucking up, kind of approaching her out of nowhere. Pros are; open body language, eye contact the whole time, good posture

I told friends to kind of punish myself in a way yet they all said I had balls for going for it in the first place and we all laughed about it. Now for some reason I have an ego boost somehow and will use it to study more, and workout until my body gives up, then work out some more. Apparently I'm really inspirational. Plus I was in the bus station with a friend and he said people kept looking at me in good ways after my regain of confidence so it feels like my balls dropped skyscraper level height. If it did go well and I got her number then I wouldn't be motivated to work out or study harder so I believe things went better this way anyway. Overall I'm still proud, far from my smoothest interaction with a girl but definitely one of the best still

I know it sounds like I'm having a circle jerk with myself but damn I don't care I feel amazing
