It was objectively a failure lasted all of three sentences.

Her sticking alone with her laptop out in a Starbucks and then me getting up from sitting with my laptop

Me "hi! is it okay if I join you"

Her "oh I have a friend coming soon"

Me "oh no worries then" smile and leave

I know it's not much, but so many times in the past I've wanted to do something similar and then chickened out. I knew that this time I couldn't everything was pretty much perfect: * she was sitting alone * she wasn't planning to leave * she looked friendly enough

I had no excuse and so I went and did it and I'm pretty proud of myself.

Obviously I could've handled objections better and stuff like that but given the fact I almost didn't do it, I think it's good I did at least something.

This is the first step to bigger and better things I think
