Don’t be fooled by my giant head, I really am still an idiot

1st Set

Yesterday I was walking back to my apartment from the train, and I see this super cutie carrying a guitar case, wearing a black dress, and yellow chuck taylor all-stars.  And I think to myself, “oh fuck yeah”.  I half run to catch up to her, and I say, “hey, do they have a music school in there or something?”  Pointing towards Sunset Place.  She was like, “oh no I just got my strings replaced at that guitar store.” 

Me: “oh yeah that’s right, i forgot about that place.  You know, it’s not everyday you see a cute girl walking around with a guitar.”

She started giggling like crazy from that.  We talk some more, and we’re TOTALLY vibing.  Also this is the kind of girl that I naturally get along with because she’s eccentric and she’s musical.

But she then tells me that she goes to school in Chicago at Northwestern, and that she’s leaving on Saturday.  I was totally bummed.  I said to her, “damn, I really wish you were staying longer…. nice to meet you”  And I walk away.

I am an idiot.  In the words of Skywalker, “her telling you that she’s leaving Saturday just is her saying ‘you have two days to fuck me.’”  I should’ve gotten her number, I just went MAJOR AFC and got bummed that this chick was leaving town.  God she was so adorable.

2nd Set

I was walking to the metromover after riding the metrorail and I spot this total hottie, HB9XO.  I walk by her and she gives me instant EC and I give her my patented cocky half-smile.  As I walk up to the wait for the mover, she walks up right next to me, just like maybe 4 feet apart.  It’s on.  This fat dude walks right between the two of us, so I walk around him, get next to her and say, “hey, isn’t that one of those Xs and Os necklaces?”

Her: “No, not really.  God I remember those, that was a while ago.”
Me: “Was it 3 years?  No.  Hahaha, I’m about to show my age (I’m 27, but a lot of people tell me I look 20, eventhough I have a beard) but it must’ve been about 10 years ago I bought one of those Xs and Os for my exgirlfriend when I was in college.”

Then we just start chatting.  She’s showing major IOIs, like eliciting information from me, etc, etc.  I’m getting to my stop and I figure she’s getting off at the stop I’m at, because usually almost everyone on the mover gets off at this stop, and I start walking to the door, and she’s like, “oh this is your stop?  I’m going to the next one.”

So I just put my hand on her arm and say it was nice to meet you and I walked away.  I could have SOOO easily just stayed to the next stop, #C’d her and gone out with her for lunch today, and then later tonight leave my DNA on her couch.  But instead I just walked away cause I’m an idiot, twice in two days.

******* Side Note:  I’ve been doing little surveys at my night job in the bookstore, and I’m asking girls if they’ve ever been approached by a guy randomly.  Of course all of them answer yes, and when I ask them if they were ever impressed or it lead to something, they overwhelmingly say that the guy who goes direct is the one that they end up really going for.
