The reason I say semi is because I mentioned this girl to my friend and it turns out he knows her from a college class they had together.
He told her before I asked her out, that I had been talking about her. She asked him if she knew me and he said "no, but he's been in your shop a couple times" (she works at an ice cream parlor). He ran into her again at a bus stop and she told him that she thinks his "friend" (me) came in to the shop again and asked what her name was. I hadn't gone back yet so he said "no I don't think that was him." He said she sounded as if she wanted someone to ask her out and/or she was hoping it was somebody she'd seen before.
Basically I said "**** it," I'll just go in there and ask her out. I waited in my car pondering this **** for like ten minutes. I finally got the nerve and entered the store. Another person came to help me and I asked for the girl I was going to ask out. She came out and I (nervous, but not too bad) asked her if her name was so and so. She said yes and our mutual friend had mentioned me to her. I started with a dumb joke about how my friend said if I mentioned his name I could get free ice cream. She smiled and laughed a bit and I said I was kidding and that my real reason for being there was to ask her if she'd like to go out some time.
She said "ummm.....I'd rather not, I'm always here and I'm going to school bla bla bla (I got the picture). Even still, I said "hey I'm going to school too" and she asked what school and major, etc. I answered and explained again that I wasn't there for ice cream (she asked if I wanted some) and since she turned me down I was trying to get the **** out of there. She even said something like "better luck next time" (something to that effect) and asked me like 4x if I wanted some ice cream. All this while I'm still in the process of trying to leave.
What I don't get is I've only been there twice. The first time was probably a month before the second time, the second time was probably 2 1/2 to 3 weeks ago and during our conversation she said she remembered me coming in there and she even remembered that I ordered a milkshake both times. Would you remember stuff like this about a random person you've seen only twice in such a large span of time, if you weren't interested?
I feel better that I actually did it, even though it wasn't anywhere near what an experienced guy would have done. Maybe she was trying to let me down easy by asking me a million times if I wanted ice cream when my body language was saying "I'm trying to get out of here"........Oh well.
