i asked a boy out

i have always wanted to ask a guy out. i thought it would be a fun thing to do and kind of empowering...

well i did it and here is how it went down...

i have an unhealthy addiction to starbucks coffee and i go there every morning before work. because of this addiction i had been spending lots of money and was considering giving it up for a while until i met him... 

since i go to the same starbucks every morning i had started to notice one particular barista. my roommate goes to the same starbucks quite a bit to work and she knew exactly who i was talking about. we'll call him don juan...just to protect the innocent...haha!! so every morning that i would come to this particular starbucks i would see don juan and give him some of my "killer smiles". i have been complimented on my smile lots so i have to tell myself to be careful who i give my smiles out to....

one particular day sara and i were going through the drive thru and don juan and another one of our favorite baristas were like...how do you girls know each other? we told them we were roommates and then don juan tells sara that i like to smile a lot and sara and i laugh because we both know my smile gets me in trouble sometimes...or at least noticed...

after that interaction the guys started giving me free coffee! score! so not only was i able to see this guy who i had a little crush on everyday but i was also getting free coffee... these morning interactions continued and the smiles continued to be exchanged. so a couple fridays ago i decided i was going to ask him out. i had sara do a little recon to make sure he didn't have a girlfriend...she talked to him and found out he did not and that he really did like my smile...

so on that fateful friday morning i decided to ask him out...i pulled up to the drive thru window and said...you know don juan...you keep giving me free drinks...i think i'm going to owe you a drink pretty soon...he smiled and said ok...i asked him when he got off of work and told him i would be back to talk to him...

we went out on a date and have another one planned...he did tell me that he and the other barista called me smiley until they found out what my name was...i will take that nickname any day...
