Was at the mall, say this cute red head that I wanted to approach but didnt because I'm a bitch. Looked around for 5 secs, didn't see shit i liked so I left. Started walking and I see the red head waiting for an elevator. Sweet so I go and approach. I open. Tell her shes cute and all that b.s. She says thanks with a smile and then I hear "BING" the fuckin elevator doors open. So she walks in. Now I'm like ugh should I walk in with this deer in the head lights look. I said fuck it and walked in and the awkward convoy went like this....

Me:so what's your name

Her:blah blah (I forgot)

Me:so what are you doing today

Her:just got off, doing some shopping, how bout you?

Me:doing some shopping as well

Awkward silence

Her:so how old are you?

Me:23, how old are you?

Her:how old do you think I am?

Me: ugh........hopefully over 18.

Now after I said that shit I immediately cringed on the inside

Her:I'm 21

The doors opened, she said it was nice talking and left so quickly.

What I think my biggest problem is I expect the interaction to go a certain way. Also my conversational skills suck. I should focus on being more playful/cocky......try to have more fun.
