yes, i am as excited about it as the caps lock makes me seem. it went like this:

*i stroll over to my bus stop

*i see a nice gal

*does this bus go to blah blah? are you from around here? whatr you up to these days? etc...

*we get on the bus. its a double length bus, and after she pays she disappears to god knows where on the bus, probably the very end. i didnt have my contacts in and i want about to go searching for her by candle light.

*before i get off the bus, she appears RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, i think intentionally. like, right in front of me, so that my face is 3 inches from hers. and im like 'so whats up?'

*we get off, shoot the shit, and then im like "so you wanna get toge-[ENORMOUS VOICE CRACK, WORSE ONE IVE EVER HAD, YOU KNOW THE TYPE THAT HAPPENS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH YOUR BREATH RUNNING OUT CAUSE YOUR SO NERVOUS]-er for some coffee sometime?"

*she gave me her number (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

now, i have little to no regard for her response, although i would prefer she does respond. im just super stoked that i actually approached a nice gal, and she gave me her telephone number.

tl;dr: i got the balls to actually approach a girl at a bus stop, and even after my voice cracked to oblivion, she gave me her number.

thank you guys infinitely, i keep you guys in mind every time im in a pickupy type situation. you guys (and gals) rock!

UPDATE: fast forward a couple hours later, im at a party and got another number- but fellas, i want you to understand, these are the first two numbers ive gotten in a few years. i really hope i can keep the momentum going.

self-critique:

*better voice projection.

*smile more.

*keep the conversation going or at least some funny looks or something, else itll be kinda awkward which plays with value.

*and finally, self props. without this i would be absolutely nowhere.
