I finally did it! I asked the cute barista for her phone number after going to the same coffee shop for over a year.
I decided to just go for it as I went to pick up my drink before work.
She ran to the back, got a card, and there it was.
I waited all day in anticipation.
After a couple of hours, when I got home after a long shift, I sent her a nice and casual text:
“Hey, it’s [name]. Thanks for giving me your number.
How was your day?”
I haven’t heard back yet, but I’m hopeful that I will sometime this weekend.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been excited to talk with someone I find attractive, seemingly kind, and enthusiastic about texting. Crossing my fingers!
Edit: Update. Fucking hell man.
I was so stoked too. Fake number it was.
Edit 2: Do I even go back to that coffee shop now? Like, wtf man.
Last edit: After reading through the comments, some of you gave really great advice and insight.
Especially when it comes to asking for a person’s number while at work.
I do not regret doing so. I already tossed the card and will keep going to the same location.
There are no hard feelings, and I won’t make any mention of texting or why it was a false phone number. Some of you, however, gave harsh criticisms, and for what?
To show or own me that you had a miserable time going throughout life and having worked front facing customer service jobs?
Well, you sure showed me.
