Message

I left a message for Cute Girl last night. It went straight to voicemail when I called at around 9:30pm, which made me think that she might have a night job. Maybe.

"Hi, this is Recess Monkey. I wanted to call you and say thanks for the cup of coffee last week. I would like to ask you out so that I can repay the favor. And I thought I should tell you that since I've met you, I've been having a lot of good luck lately, so I would like to continue my lucky streak and see you again.

"Give me a call when you're free this week. (My number.) Talk with you soon. Ciao."

That didn't sound too cheesy, did it?

I guess if she doesn't call back by the end of the week, I should forget about hearing from her. For now, at least. I even thought I would try and gift her a coffee card-- just to make one last effort, but that is something the old me would have done, so I vetoed myself. Then I proceeded to scold myself for being such a sap. It should be enough that I've called her. Twice. If she doesn't reply, then she must not be interested.

It's a wrap. Move on. Too bad, sweetie.

I remember this guy I used to work with speak of "the law of averages." Basically, the more women you go out with (hot or not,) the better your chances of finding someone you'll be happy with. Now, I'm not entirely sure I want to start dating women at random, although I have been noticing more attractive women randomly lately...

Hmmmmmm. Might need to do the math on this one.
