This one’s for everyone who is like me and is too scared to shoot their shot in real life. Just do it.
Long story short there’s a cute girl working at a coffee shop I frequent. She was always friendly and seemed interested, we had a little inside joke that we like the same ice cream, so after talking to her a few times I finally got the courage today and when she rang me up I said “here’s my number in case you ever wanna get ice cream together”. She said she had a boyfriend and I said “no worries, just figured I’d shoot my shot” and continued with my day and moved on. It sucked for like 5 minutes but I also felt proud of myself for getting the guts and now that I’ve done it once I might do it again in the future.
Not the happy ending I wanted but still learned a lesson! To all the men (or women) reading this, just do it. Don’t be creepy about it and you’ll be fine! I’m sure next time I go she’ll just ring me up and we’ll just be acquaintances.

Good on you for having the courage to ask and the grace to accept her answer
JUST DO IT. As a beautiful woman NO ONE and I mean NO ONE approaches me. I catch a lot of eyes staring, but that’s it. I am single and looking for my future partner. Who’s to say you aren’t the one I’ve been waiting for ?? Ya know?!!
this is honestly kinda hot in its own way… not the rejection part, but the confidence. the way you just went for it, stayed cool, and kept your charm even after she said she had a boyfriend, that’s rare. you probably left her a little flustered anyway, just saying. shooting your shot like that takes guts, and there’s something really attractive about someone who knows how to take a “no” with grace. next time, I think someone’s gonna say yes. 🙂
you won bro
you didn’t catch a number, but you shook off the fear and proved you’re someone who *acts*
the win isn’t in the “yes” – it’s in becoming the kind of person who doesn’t freeze when it matters
next rep will be even easier
Props to you for having the courage to do it! Rejection sucks, but the confidence you gain from putting yourself out there is worth it. You handled it really well.
Way to go!!
