Life is a continuous strain of tests and hardships. I’m four weeks away from my winter vacation from school and it appears I will have passed my semester with success. I’ve had my first taste of the competitive spirit that can reign between students for leadership and decision-making and it resulted in one of the female student writing me an e-mail blaming me for all sorts of things. She writes “don’t take it personally” and goes on a long tirade trying to put me back in my place.
Escaping to a place with less people around than this urban city looks better every day. I have to hold on, I cannot shake the feeling that I’m hopeful for a better future. You will encounter problems everywhere but usually they are spaced out gracefully. I just feel like no matter what I do I attract issues!
I’ve just gotten my first pair of glasses for school, my mom promised me a trip to Japan next summer if I pass school, so far I’m really liking my courses. It’s one of the mega positives in my life although as always some folks make it tougher to get through a day. Apparently there is a lot of dropping out so maybe with a smaller group we will be close-knit at some point.
One last thing, I’ve met a girl that works as a waitress at a restaurant across from my place. I find her cute and she seemed friendly the few times I went there for take-out. Since she remembered my name and I found her beautiful I bought her a Game of Thrones t-shirt and a C-3PO bobblehead (the golden android in Star Wars). She seemed to enjoy the gifts but looked a bit surprised. She only works week-ends because of University so I will see her again tomorrow. She’s a lot younger but at this point I just need some female to talk to and be friendly with.
Thanks for letting me whine and hope your day goes well.
Has anyone got tips on how to further the relationship with the waitress? I went for take-out today and instead of rushing out to smoke after my order I sat near the counter and started talking with her. The conversation went well, we talked about our studies, Japan and current world events. I wanna ask her out on a date but I’ll be crushed if she rejects me!
I don’t know, for how long have you known her? I would talk more and get to know her a bit better until I found the right moment, but than again I’m a coward at this things!!
Just a couple of weeks. I’m cowardly too when needing to ask women out, since you’re a girl it isn’t really your job to do the heavy lifting at the beginning of a relationship.
I’m liking your advice, that’s what I would want to do, take things as they come and slowly get to know her better, then be hopeful that at some point I can muster the balls to ask her out on a date!
I followed her on Twitter but she hasn’t posted since 2014, maybe later I will send her a FB request!
Ah, kudos for talking to the cute waitress! You’re a brave man. With a little luck you may have won a nice girlfriend. Yeah, just talk to her. It sounds like you have some kind of bond with her. Lots of women are lonely too and have a hard time meeting people. This may not apply to her in this case but it is true of a lot of women.
Yeah, I feel that there are lots of tests and hardships too. I flunk most of them.
Keep that hope afloat. Hope is a reality. There really is hope.
