Sitting in a cafe. A girl comes it and joins a couple already sitting in front of me. She's cute. I observe her for a while, starting to feel a little nervous but knowing I'm gonna do it because it's an awesome thing to do.

I get up, walk up to their table, apologize for interrupting the conversation, look her in the eye and tell her I find her beautiful and would love to ask out for a glass of wine tonight. She explains she's busy because she's living abroad and is flying back tomorrow morning. I ask her whether she's just making excuses because I'd rather have a girl be straight with me. She assures me she isn't making excuses and thanks me for the courage to come up to her.

When I leave the cafe some time later we smile at each other and she follows me with her eyes until I'm out of sight.

That was great. :)

"Mode One", by the way, is a short and great book about stop being ashamed about your sexuality.
