I must preface this by saying that I am very new to the community. Having said that, this is my first post and have been a lurker for only a few weeks. I put this thread into this forum because my line is pretty much an opener.

So i walked into starbucks mid afternoon and to my surprise the barista is a girl I went to HS with (HB8). I had one class with her in grade 12 and i don't know her name plus I was a such a AFC in HS.

So I walk up and open with "hey, hows it going" (original i know). She says the same in return etc etc.

She then asks me what I want and since I've been to starbucks maybe twice before. I say in return something like "uhh I've never been to starbucks before so i have no idea what I'm doing. What's your favorite drink?"

She starts listing off drinks and I randomly choose one and the size. She makes the drink, comes back and I pay (with giftcard... so not as obvious when I come back later I guess). She asks me if I want my receipt and I say "sure". Then I said the following.

AFC: Hey do you have a pen I could borrow?
HB8: yep
AFC: You know what? you seem pretty sweet. I'm going to write down my number in case you want to hang out sometime

I take the pen and write "911" and my name on the back of the receipt and hand it to her.

She smiles and says "how do i know this is really your number?"

IIRC I then say something really lame like
"I don't know... I guess you'll just have to believe"

At this point another customer is now waiting behind me so I smile and say something like

"Anyway I got to get going. Ill see you later" and lip "call me" with my hand telephone.

She says "bye" with her eye brows arched as I make my exit

So I failed pretty hard since I didn't get a number but I did kinda get my foot in the door.

thoughts?
