A girl was into me at work and I fucked up big time
Today at work, I was preparing food for a customer when she initiated a conversation with me. I could tell she was into me, I was into her as well and showed interest. However, at the very last second, I pulled back instead of asking for her number or Instagram. I just said goodbye because my life is a total mess right now, and I don't think I'm ready for a relationship. Plus, I have severe social anxiety, and I’m 100% sure I’d fuck it up on our first date.
That alone would usually be enough to mess me up, but what happened next was even worse. My coworkers apparently saw the interaction, and as soon as I went back to the start of the food line, they yelled, 'Dude, are you a fucking idiot? She was into you!' and 'You managed to pull defeat from the jaws of victory!'
I was just honest and told them, 'Guys, I’m not ready yet.' What's worse is, it turns out the girl hadn’t left the store yet. I assume she overheard us because we were being pretty loud. As soon as I realized that, I ran into the dish pit, started washing dishes, and put my headphones on to try and forget what happened.
Now I wanna get plastic surgery, change my name, and move across the country. Does anyone on the east coast have a free corner in their basement?
