Crashed and Burnt

Dont think anybody's first blog starts like this. But with me, you never expect the expected.

Was asking her out really wierd. People say you get lucky third time around. Not exactly. Third time unlucky.....

What's the big deal in getting a refusal from a girl. Happens to most of us. A slap on your ego, on your confidence...a kick on the butt.

The girl... comes to the food court everyday, all alone. Swallows her dinner all alone. Sophisticated, has to be. good looking, has to be. bitchy, but ofcourse.

But why did i go after her? Thought I might get lucky. Hoping against the hope hopen.

dont beat around the bush. come to the point. we need to know about what happened. dont care about ur emotional crap, no sentis please. we wuld like to hear the story, spice it up a bit more and propagate it to all and sundry. Nice gossip over a cuppa coffee.

Ok, ur wish my command. Nothing new happened. went to the foodcourt for a quick grub, had to get back to work fast. same old atmoshphere, same stale food. the only thing good about it was that she was there. our eyes met at the food counter, liked what i saw. thought it was worth giving a chance.

Finished my dinner in double quick time. Had to finish it before she did. Walked towards her, a bundle of confidence on each of the sleeves(finger sleeves). Asked her "Can i buy u a coke or smthing?"

It was a warm day by all means. A chilled can culd have been just fine. besides, just hundred odd calories wont make u fat overnight. pee and its all gone. and u dont have to pay for it........cant say if she was really bitchy or was i a dumb-ass.

The rest of conversation was immaterial. Me uttering some crap, she reciprocating. One thing sure is common between us. We both dont knw hw to talk to outsiders.

A brisk walk, few deep breaths and i buried it. another feather in the cap.

good job arnie
