When You Want To Ask Her Out But Your Mouth Won’t Work
For the last several days, weeks, or even months you’ve been trying to figure out how to approach her and ask her out. You’re not even really sure where you want to ask her to go or what the two of you would do, but you can’t stop thinking about it. You practice talking to her in the mirror but when the time comes to open your mouth, words come out in a jumbled heap.
She’s going to be getting a tattoo and you believe that is just downright hot. You were hoping she’d get it by now so you would have something to compliment her on. Her photography interests have her collecting used cameras, but the only one you could find was so broken up you couldn’t imagine being foolish enough to give it to her. You want to slip a note into her laptop bag but you are afraid she will catch you, and then you’ll have to speak.
Is it the potential for her to turn you down that keeps you from gathering your nerve? Maybe it’s the potential for her to say yes that keeps your tongue all twisted up. It’s Okay. We all hit this uncomfortable place the first time we notice someone that we just can’t shake.
Take a breath and think about a few simple facts. It might not seem like you can handle this, but you really can’t handle not asking her out and then watching her with someone else. You know you’re not alone, but that just isn’t much comfort right now. You have to be convinced that you are capable of dealing with someone that gets to you this much.
Some of us are better with words when we write them down. There’s nothing wrong with that. Some of us just aren’t ready to walk up to what appears to be the girl of our dreams and flat out ask her to spend an evening hanging out in your world. Maybe you can spend an evening hanging out in hers.
Nothing terrible is going to happen to you if you try and you can’t quite get it right. It doesn’t mean anything about you and it doesn’t mean you’re doomed to this state that you’re in right now for the rest of your life. What it means is that you haven’t remembered that she is as human as everyone else.
If you ask her out, even just once, you have jumped a tremendous hurdle. You have showed yourself that you are more capable than you believed you were just yesterday. You have proven that you can face a challenge that makes you sweat and walk away with your head held high, regardless of the outcome.
