Wow. I just got back from dinner... So I'm by myself and I walk into this small restaurant and I'm the only one there. This super cute HB9 waitress greets me and shows me to my table. I've been at this place a few times but I've never seen her before so I ask if she's new. Turns out she is... I ask her name, introduce myself, and give her a firm handshake. We chat for a few minutes. I keep all of seddit info in the back of my mind - maintain eye contact, smile, don't lean in etc. I make her laugh, I keep the convo light, we have a conversation about traveling and it turns out she'll be visiting my hometown of NYC this summer so we talk a bit about that. She's showing some IOIs - smiling, playing with her hair, coming back to my table, seems genuinely interested in what I'm saying. More customers walk in so she has to leave. I get my dinner and I'm eating and thinking to myself how to ask this girl out. As I'm eating another guy walks in... complete chump. He complains to another waiter about the food etc. As I sit there thinking about how to ask this girl out, this guy finishes his meal and gets up to leave. I overhear him talking to the waitress.. he's asking her what shes doing after work and I hear them laughing and stuff. I think to myself... there it goes. I'm fucked. I see him write down his number and leave. Well... that's it for me, I think. The girl comes back and brings me another beer... it's not the one I was drinking, so I tease her a little about that. She laughs and maintains eye contact to the point I feel she wanted to say something but she walks away. I finish my beer and get up to pay my bill. She's behind the bar.. we chat for a min "so what brings you here etc". So this girl is from Europe and has only been here for a few weeks. She says to me 'whats a Ramada? Is that a street?' I say 'no, thats a hotel. why do you ask?'. And she hands me the note from that guy. He wrote down his hotel and room number!!! Haha way to go guy. I laugh and tell her thats a hotel and a room number. Then I go on to say 'Ohh you and that guy would be perfect together!! He's a really good match for you. You should go visit him!!' She laughs a lot and says 'I dont know about that. I'd definitely have a drink with you but not that guy!' HOLY SHIT. I say, ' (GRIN) Let's grab a drink then!' She smiles and tears the note from the other guy in half and writes her number on it. I say "Ohhhhh that's heart-breaking!! You're giving me your # on the other guys note'. She crumbles up the other piece and throws it in the garbage and says 'That's where that belongs'. WOW!! Kiss on the cheek and goodnight. Like a BOSS!!

Thank you seddit!!!!
