Doing my regular grocery shopping at Sprouts on Sunday afternoon and I see this HB5 in the organic fruit section. Eye contact and a smile from her when I walk by. It's on. She's with her mom though. I walk around, getting stuff on my shopping list while I wait for a chance to make my move.
Finally, she goes around the corner from her mom and I swoop in.
M: Hey (smile)
G: Hi (smile)
M: I noticed you earlier and thought you had a nice smile. I wanted to come over and find out what you were like.
G: (smile) Thank you! What's your name? (We shake hands and start small talk)
We small talk work and school. Turns out she's leaving the country to teach English in Europe. I've done that in Japan, so I suggest we go for a cup of coffee and talk about travel. She agrees, I get her number and call her (it was real). I ask her if she's free that evening and hs says she thinks she is.
I text her a few hours later and upgrade from coffee to dinner at Cafe Brazil. We go out and talk about traveling, school, fitness etc. She's flooding me with IOIs. At this point though, I start getting cold feet and tell myself, "eh, I'm not really that attracted".
Date ends, she says she's gonna be around for three more weeks and says I could call her to go out for a move or coffee or something. This totally blows me away. Never had a girl ask me to ask her out like that... Anyway, I give her a hug and say "French style?" With a smile. She gets a brief look of panic and I give her the standard French hello/goodbye kisses on both sides of her face, which she got a kick out of.
It wasn't my first approach. But it was my first number close and same day date. What I learned from this experience is that I can do this and that I shouldn't limit myself to girls I think I can get (HB5s) but should go for hotter girls too. That's what I want and I know I deserve a smoking hot babe.
Next!
