Hi guys,
Could things be worse?? I'm a girl and I tried to ask a girl out yesterday...
Here is a little background for my story: My husband and I have moved to this city for three months. He got a job relocation, and I quit mine to come here together with him. It's been difficult for me since I don't have any friends here and I've suffered a lot from seeking a new job.
Yesterday was my birthday, however, my husband had to travel to another city to work the whole week there, whatsmore, I was rejected by an interviewer from a job opportunity...all that turned me extremely emotional.
Anyways, I had my hair cut and done, went back home, and got dressed. I made a stupid decision that I would ask a neighbor out for a drink or dinner to kill the sad evening...I'm living in a highrise apartment and neighbors are not that close. But as I entered the elevator and went down with it, I was thinking of a girl I frequently met these days. We had smiled to each other, said hello and all those neighbor stuff, and I felt her a very nice person that I'd like to make friend with. The funny thing is, when I was thinking of her, the door opened and she was right there.
I was going down but she wanted to go up, so she didn't enter. Here comes the drama: I opened the door again and asked her if I could talk with her for a sec. She said of course and held the door of the elevator. I felt there was another person beside her, so I could hardly open my mouth to ask her anything. I was already feeling myself ridiculous and was regretting, however, I had to continue. So I said that it was my birthday and I didn't have any friends and I saw her a lot these days and felt her a very nice person blahblahblah... She was always smiling and friendly as I was, till I asked if she would come with me for dinner since I didn't want to spend the stupid evening alone. Her face looked puzzled for a sec but smiled again saying that she'd like to but she would have a Masters' class in the evening. Then she told me her apt number and said I could go there looking for her. You know what was more stupid? I continued asking how about later...she was more confused and asked me "you mean today??" I said yes. She said she was really feeling sick blahblahblah...ok, I wished her a great evening and closed the door.
So, I was creepy huh? I wanted to kill myself after the door was closed...I realized that I sounded like...well, yes I know...that was really the most stupid thing I've ever done...I guess she was kinda freaked out, and so do I, by myself of course.

Should've just been a very casual "hey want to go out for dinner later?"
