This barista is so beautiful it's not even funny. How can I win her heart?!? - Page 10

EPIC FAILURE TIME

I went to the coffeeshop today and she was working at the counter. I flashed a big smile and she smiled back.
She said, "Hey. You're back."
I tried to play up a usual dose of my self-deprecating sarcasm: "You're probably getting sick and tired of seeing my face, huh?"

At this point I hoped she'd ask "Why have you been spending so much time here?" or something because this could have been a great segway to a conversation about my legal internship and going to law school and what my plans were in life.

...Instead she just giggled, looked down and said "Yeah."

SHE AGREED THAT SHE WAS SICK OF SEEING ME

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! !!!!

So then I blushed, got sheepishly embarrassed, muttered my order (which I had to repeat because apparently my voice got so soft that she couldn't hear me initially), and sat my ass down.

I lose, Nuklear Power Forumites. I have lost.

EDIT: I even had the perfect setup, guys! It's a Friday night and my entire family is gone for the weekend. (I'm living at the parent's home for a month before moving into a new apartment.)
There should be like twelve parties at my house tonight but instead there's only a party between me, Pain, Suffering, Loneliness, and Misery.

AAARRRGGGGHHHH

Oh, you're so over-dramatic. It was the perfect opportunity to be like "To be honest I couldn't stay away! I wanted to ask if I could get your phone number, or treat you to some [ice cream/delicious thing/whatever] when you get off work". SOMETHING! Don't be spineless, Solid Snake!!

Oh come on, I know you're married and all, but have some sympathy for those less fortunate.
She said she was sick and tired of seeing my face.

Flarecobra · 07-02-2010, 02:18 PM

Sounded like she was kinda joking to me, from what I see on there.

Okay so I had a theory regarding this and asked my wife what she thought (I typically get her input when I'm at a loss when interpreting female actions). We agree that she either:

A) Didn't know how to respond and got all awkward.
B) Wasn't really paying attention, assumed you cracked a joke, giggled and agreed in order to save face.

So you may not have lost, your verbal interactions together may be akin to two virgins who never even saw porn on accident.

Just do what I do to pick up women. Take out your manhood and whens she starts cooing in lust, make her yours right in the middle of the coffeehouse.

And then the other customers start applauding and cheering you on.

It's just one girl mangs. There's like, boatloads of 'em. Plus you don't even know what she's like, and she doesn't know what you're like. All she's seen is a shy, awkward side of you that isn't near all of what you are. So she really didn't reject you. She just made a judgment call based on the (very) limited information she had.

Next girl show to more awesome side of you so they have better data to go with.

EDIT Or there's still a chance, like the others said. Stop being Mr Insecure and be SOLID FUCKING SNAKE!

shiney · 07-02-2010, 02:24 PM

Yeah it sounds pretty much EXACTLY like the above, to me. (Edit: The above meaning Terex.)

Go in one more time and just frickin get some nerve up and put an end to the uncertainty once and for all. Just DO it. The aftermath will be infinitely more relaxing regardless of which way it goes!

Come on, man!!

Meister · 07-02-2010, 02:27 PM

Two possible reasons:

1. she was joking
2. you've found a coffee house where they hate money and don't mind baristas driving customers away for no reason

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

e: if it's 2. my advice about Questionable Content is actually your best bet

BloodyMage · 07-02-2010, 02:42 PM

I think the fact that she giggled probably is a good sign. If she was honestly sick of seeing you she would have said it in monotone deadpan while glaring at you with disdain.
