So I was at the gas station store yesterday, stocking up on beer to have with the boys, and as I was heading to my car I noticed this beautiful blonde girl sitting in a car parked next to mine.

We locked eyes as I was walking in front of her car (couldn't see her mouth because she was wearing a mask) and I maintained steady eye contact and so did she.

I loaded the beer into my trunk and for a moment there I hesitated if I should approach. In the end I decided it would be better to approach even if I got rejected, because if I didn't I would keep wondering all the "what if" scenarios.

So I closed my trunk, removed my mask and went to her driver window and motioned for her to lower it. When she did, I smiled and said: "Hey, I think you're really pretty, I'd like to go out with you for some coffee." She smiled and said: "Sorry friend, I have a boyfriend already." I smiled back and said: "Well, I had to try. See ya."

When I got back in my car, instead of feeling down, I felt great. I got rejected, but at least I tried. Well, on to the next one!

EDIT: Thanks for the Silver, kind stranger! Also, thanks to everyone for their words of encouragement and advice, you're the best.
