Steve sounds like kind of an asshole...

Too be fair, I didn't tell anyone I liked "Kelly", nor did I make it clear at all.
Don't be shy, man, just go for it! If you knew she liked you back, you should've just told the guy, "Nah, I already have the best view in the house" and then look at the girl and BAM! Smooth as silk.
Here's my story. So, a group of friends and I went to the beach after I got out of work to hangout and watch the fireworks. We got there relatively early, so we got pretty good seats. Anyways, after an hour of messing around, chatting and other stuff this group of girls set up their stuff a few feet away from us. My friends, being the immature college students they are, start making that obnoxious whistle sound and checking them out, while I'm just awkwardly sitting there, pretending to look at my phone. Anyways, they just ignored my friends and just started chatting and whispering and stuff.
Anyways, an hour passed, and my friends started doing dumb things and tried getting the girls' attention by taking their shirts off and then attempting to get a tan. I was so embarrassed that I just wanted to leave, and the girls were just sitting there like "wtf?" After my friends realized they were just making a fool out of themselves, they stopped and we just started chatting. They went to go get some food from the pier and I decided to stay back. While they were gone, the group of girls left as well, except this one girl. I didn't really pay attention since I was just playing Candy Crush on my phone :p when she said "hi" to me. I replied hi back, and I wasn't really sure of what I should do, so I just asked for her name. Let's call her Lauren. Anyways, we started talking about stuff, and then we started getting into this deep conversation about family and stuff, and we just kept talking to each other until my friends came back. I started to freak out inside because I knew that they would do something to embarrass me, so right after she finished what she was talking about, I asked her if I could get her number. (and she said yes!  ) After putting her number in my contacts, my friends came back and surprisingly didn't say anything about me getting Lauren's number. I told her I'd call her later, and then the night just went on with chatting with my friends, hanging out, and then watching the fireworks. Before we left, I gave Lauren a quick hug before leaving and then told her I'd call her later, which I will do tomorrow. ^_^
Overall, I had a pretty great day. |
You played that just how I probably would have, except for the 2nd part, I probably woulda been to shy haha. You played it quite well.
My story involves the gym and justice, i'm just a bystander witnessing but damn this made my whole week. TLDR at the bottom of the spoiler.
Spoiler
The other week I encountered a hero, this guy was the **** I felt so great about humanity after witnessing this guy. I was at the gym headphones in working out yada yada, and during a break between sets I like to just look around see what everyone else is up to, not in a judgeful manner just to find things to look at besides a wall. Anyway, those of you who go to a gym are probably aware of the 'etiquette' and respect involved, you never make fun or put anyone down in the gym, because they are working hard to change themselves for the better. I'm looking around and notice these 3 guys, call em Group A, probably my age (17) looking at this older guy who must be new to the gym as he was struggling to finish his sets which some would say were low weight, but who cares, it's not what you're lifting, it's how you're lifting it that matters. Anyway, Group A were whispering and looking, I couldn't hear what they were saying but this older fella clearly could, and he was obviously distressed about it, I felt so angry and upset at the same time about it but I was just fixated on Group A for the nerve.
However, this part was crazy, someone else who was a lot bigger and clearly a vet in the gym obviously noticed this to, I see him walk straight over to the older fella, tell him he's doing great and needs to keep it up, then he goes straight to Group A, picks up the bar they were using, add on two plates each side and curl it right in front of them for 10. He then drops the bar in front of them, laughs and walks off to finish his workout. I was absolutely stunned, this man was a hero, everyone else was watching him in awe or looking at Group A like wow. This was the other week I said, and I haven't seen those guys since, but still see the older fella and hero, they say hello to eachother, not to me but i'm just a bystander in the situation, and the older fella is still working as hard as ever.
TLDR
- 3 guys laughing at older guy who's new and working his arse off to make change
- Massive bodybuilder walks over builds the older guy's confidence up
- Massive bodybuilder then grabs bar 3 guys were using and shows them up
- Everyone is staring in awe and chuckling at 3 guys, 3 guys go haven't seen them since.
- Older guy and bodybuilder seem to become friends, older guy still working as hard as ever.
