Dude was all “I’m gonna ask her today!”
Then. Didn’t.
Kept saying “Well, she’s at lunch.”
Or
“She’s emptying the trash cans.”
Me: “You’re making excuses!”
“I know! I’m nervous! Anxious!”
Me: “Why? Worst case, she says no. She isn’t gonna murder you as far as I know.”
Him: “I just wanna gather a bit more information first so I can figure out if I even stand a chance. I’m ugly and a shitbag. She might not even be interested.”
Me: “the easiest way is to just ask. Direct. Quick.”
He chickened out. At one point, I sensed he was about to ask, when he, she, and I were in the same area. So I said “I’m gonna walk over in this other direction and check for carts.”
He chickened out though.
I told him “the clock is ticking. If I were available, I’d have asked her out like 2 months ago already. Which means someone ELSE who can make a move WILL.”
And even though I’m no longer Palpatine, every so often today I got in out radios and said “DO IT!”
At one point, she asked “what’s he trying to get you to do?”
“Nothing, he’s just playing around”. lol
She’s (so far) literally everything I look for in a woman. And he’s wasting a shot with her over some anxiety.
The other day, I ran (again) PS, Primal, IBV1 (which is S&SX and bdlm).
I think that stack helps me with staying centered with this kind of stuff.
Literally then only thing holding me back from trying for her is being married. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.
