It's been a while.

Almost two thousand views and this blog is so uncared for :( the previous post is months old I think! I'll be trying harder to keep this up to date. Cool story of the day/personal growth moment: I see a gorgeous looking female on the way to a professor's office. I stare. She stares back. I pass her, and get further down the hallway. She's, like, 11/10*, so I decide to look again. I look over my shoulder back at her. SHE'S STILL LOOKING O_O I get around the corner, and think, "I'm never going to see her again if I don't go now." I turn back, with the intention of conversation. I approach the target. "....... excuse me" (Improper grammar significant of a lack of volume and bad posture/general creepiness.) "?" (<-- that is a whole phrase in girl-speak) *here I man up and use an indoor voice instead of a freaking whisper* "I was wondering if I could have your number? I really like your style" *simultaneous gesture to indicate her stylin' hairdo + general badassery* ---------HERE IS WHERE IT GETS HOT AND DIRTY. Kind of.------------ We kept eye contact for the entire exchange. I finish the above statement, and as I do, she pauses, long enough for me to think, "Okay, she's going to say yes, but doesn't want to seem overeager... cool" and I put my hand into my pocket to grab my phone in preparation for greedy number gobbling. Her entire body tweaks and yearns to betray the following statement: "I.. have a boyfriend." She still doesn't break eye contact as disappointment shows on my face. I eject with a "Have a nice day." The growth comes from the fact that I have never made someone's BODY CONTORT BEFORE :D I guess it's really not my doing; they liked me, and that's something I can't control. However, I did hold eye contact with a total stranger better than I ever have. * = Not a proper fraction. Maybe one day I'll explain what 11/10 in a girl means ;)
