This girl and I kept making eye contact in an office setting. It was on about 5 different occasions that she showed interest. When I looked at her we would lock eyes for a few seconds and then she would smile. I finally summoned the courage to ask her out.

Me: “Hey do you wanna grab a drink sometime?”

Her: “Sorry I have a boyfriend.”

It felt good to step out of my comfort zone and get rejected. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from these interactions. I’m actually excited to get rejected because it’ll make the successful interaction all the more rewarding and satisfying. Onto the next.
