I made a cute guy nervous today. I never thought I would have the ability to do that, but I did.

He always comes to Starbuck's, every Saturday. He always gets a cheese danish to accompany his drink. Over time, I've noticed and have remembered his name. He showed up on a Tuesday. Noticing his unscheduled attendance, I took on register, just so I could ring him out and talk to him.

"...and a cheese danish too, please"

"Are those even any good? I feel like they're gross.."

"Only when they're warmed. They make a great quick snack."

"That makes sense. Dave right?"

He seemed shocked I remembered his name, and I saw his face grow flush. He got a little confused and even grabbed his empty cup from beside me that was waiting to be made. Laughing and sufficiently embarrassed, he walked away. 

Maybe next time I'll get the courage to write my number on his cup. Is that lame? (asking for a friend)

guys he came again!! I didn't work the register but I made his drink. I smiled when I called his name and saw him but I chickened out of writing my number. When he got his cheese danish (again) I laughed and said "always a cheese danish" and he looked at me and smiled while he nodded. I told my co-worker about my crush and she confessed to hers...we vowed that one of us would write our numbers on our crushes cups the next time we see either of them. Trying my best to convince myself not to chicken out next time!!!

You should do that cheesy thing where the block out some of the words in the warning label to say "caution, you're hot" or something along those lines. And then draw an arrow down to it. Not quite as scary as a number. But good luck all the same!

On my last shift and the last time I will see him for probably months now, I wrote "David :)" on his cup. Lame but for now that's as far as this can progress for now. To be continued...

I've been working every other Saturday. I pick up some Tuesday shifts hoping to see him. Over the summer I went to another coffee shop to do some homework and actually saw him. He was with a girl and they seemed as though they were together. I think he might have even graduated...but I haven't seen him at all this semester, sadly.
