Owel, I took off today because some real important business that I had to take care of in the morning. What business you say? "Tsk, tsk! That is a secret!" Anyhoo, I took care of the business, then watched some more of Slayers Next. Pretty hysterical. Downloaded some stuff also.
Hit St. Charle's with Scott once again. Finally, Jenny was there! So I had to make good on my promise that I would ask her out. Alas, got that guy waiting on us instead, putting a crimp in my plans. So I decided to make my move when it was time for dessert. Scott was telling me to play it slow, just make some small talk now, and work my way up to asking her out in a few weeks/months. I said that was a little too slow for me. Which prompted him to mention that while we're similar in some ways, there other ways we are real different. He's a little more subtle, whereas he said I usually go for the more direct approach. Which gave me an idea. I joked to Scott, "Why don't I ask her which is the best way to approach her?" Only it wasn't a joke. When it was time, he got lost and I went up to the dessert counter and asked if she had some recommendations. After I decided I was all, "One more thing!" and told her how Scott and I were discussing what was the best way for me to ask her out. I mentioned how Scott thought I should become a regular and let her get to know me better, whereas I thought I should go straight in. She was actually amused at my frankness. She did give me a line how she's not looking to get into anything right now (a kind way of blowing me off, perhaps?) But she also asked me about school and other things about me and I was visa-versa. Apparently, besides waitressing here, she also bartends (I shoulda asked where!) I didn't close the deal though. But at least I have an in for next time (unless I totally creeped her out, of course)
I think it went okay. Of course, it'll prolly be like that Grounded for Life ep where the daughter thought she was so smooth, but as the ep progressed, she kept on re-remembering the sitch as turning out worse and worse. Like every line she thought she was being cool, as she re-thought about it, they kept on re-playing the same scene, only she was a little more dumb-ass each time. Of course the point is, you don't know which of the scenes is how it really happenned. But hey, I made her laugh. "My work here is done!" Ha! But seriously, stupid TV and Movies have me so screwed up on what to do. I've gotten tons of advice from lots of people, but Hollywood has me thinking you have to be so damn witty and smooth, whereas in reality, no one is as conversant as the peeps on the screen. Its like they make you think you have to have some funny/cool line to be charming. Which makes me a little gun-shy, since I can never come up with some cool way to break the ice. I think I'm overthinking things a little. Scott also brought up another good point, that we're a little more relaxed when we're with friends. I ascertained its prolly because we have other people to work with to make us really shine.
