This happened literally right now. Walked into a grocery store. A cute girl standing there in front of the inner doors. I walk past her, go inside before realizing I should approach her. Turn around and go back and open with a big smile and “hiii”. She looks at me with a mix of aloof supsiciousness and intrigue.

Me: I saw you standing here, thought to myself that you seems super charming and had come say hi”
[My delivery here was a bit poor, I mumbled a bit some of these words. She got the idea, though and smiled.


Her: How long are you staying here for?
Me: What? I’m from here
Her: Why are a you speaking in English then?
[I’m not being serious here, quite playful, fucking around a bit]
Me: [with fake surprise]: Ah you are from here!? So what’s up, enjoying life, doing festivals and all of those concerts?
Her: Yeah, especially with this weather. So what you doing here?
Me: Living the life! Just cam from hair-dressers’!! What about you?
Her: Just waiting for the bus
Me: Ah, I thought you came for the free disinfectant!

Some more chit-chat.

Me: [Turning slightly away as abou to go inside the store]: Okay, listen let me grab your number we should get a few drinks together.

[Mistake here to ask for the number first!! I knew this but just fucked up. Came off as too eager and unsmooth!]

She: No, I can’t give you your phone number. I don’t do that.
[Some more talk in between, can’t remember exactly what I said]
Me: I’m Rakkum btw, what’s your name?
[Tells me her name. I tell her it rhymes with the work “kinky” and that she must have already heard that a few times too many]

Me: I need to go get some chocolate, wait for me here!

[Of course she is not there when I get back. I walk by the bus stop and she’s there. I literally walk next to her, smile at her and gesture at my chocolate bar]

Me: Chocolate, want some?
Her: [smiling] No, thanks
Me: We need to meet up. How am I going to find you?
She: X is such a small place, you’ll run into me
Me: I don’t think so [rolling my eyes a bit and smiling while emphasizing each word. It's absurd and she knows it but I'm not fazed, it's not a village]

[Let me be clear: from the text It may sound as if I've been blown out of the water already and just being too persistent. Usually I err on the other side and have a decent intuition for that she seemed kind of interested but I was a bit uncalibrated in the beginning).

Her: Not so many people with this name. You can find me.
[she starts walking to the bus]
Me: “Her name”, right?
She: Yes

Looked her up from Facebook. Looks pretty hot but fuck I messed this one up and now I’m one of the “Facebook guys”™ :/

(Although, a similar thing happened some while ago with a hot barista and through sheer persistence, talking about half a year I eventually bedded her. “I just broke my phone” was the excuse. Maybe it was true, though)
