I met a girl … at a store, in a ski resort, I was dumbstruck when I saw her, anyways I wanted to buy something but wasn’t sure if i wanted to get it, so I asked her to set it aside for me for the next day if possible, the whole interaction though was very sweet and friendly, not very shop like
I came the next day and saw her, told her i’ll take the item, at the cash register their were people ahead of me, and she was clearing their stuff, at that time i was standing at the end of the counter, looking at her, dumbstruck, just admiring her, she noticed, looked at me and smiled, then she started talking to me and asking about my day, while still clearing other people’s stuff, and we ended up talking a lot, about so many things, from the typical where are you from, to hello kitty (there were a couple of hello kitty toys randomly glued on the keyboard and barcode scanner)
It felt really nice, it was more than just her being customer pleasant, I really felt it was genuine and there was a connection, I asked her out, she said that she has a boyfriend, and I told her it would be just as friends, gentleman’s promise (it was true) but she declined
After a couple of days, she was still in my mind, I know as men we obsess sometimes about one girl, even one which we don’t know too well, a strong crush let’s say, but I really wanted to see her
I went again to the store with the intention of asking her out again, more persistent than pushy, cause I really felt there was something, and I had my doubts that she only said no for whatever “girly” reason, so I went in the excuse of wanting to buy something else (which i actually did want to buy), again we started chatting, about many things, and it was even nicer than last time
Then I gave her a little chocolate egg of Hello Kitty, which has a Hello Kitty toy inside, the same she had on the keyboard
We spoke some more and I asked her out again, I told her how I realize that she lives in a place where people come and go, and a lot of them guys looking for some “fun” but promised her it wasn’t like that, just talking, just friends, like we talk in the shop, but outside, she still insisted on not doing so, and told me she has a boyfriend of 7 years
I probably can’t tell if the boyfriend thing was true or just a blow off, but I really felt we clicked, the kinda of click that you know is not just you
It’s painful
