Right, I'm going to get this on here and see if anyone else can make sense of it, possibly help me straighten my trains of thought and confirm I'm being retarded!
This is possibly going to be a long post, and like I said it might not make sense so this is your warning.
All text in italic is my internal monologue, this is the first time it's ever become external (so respect and honour!)
Ok so the background here is I work in security as mobile response. You get a van and a bunch of places to lock, unlock and patrol. Given that it's all night shifts I'm often found getting coffee from various drive-ins. So this story starts there.
I ask for the coffee, I pay at the first window and move on to the second. Usually they ask "Any sugar?" and I respond with "Two please". Well this time I was asked "Two sugars isn't it?" My brain went into "wait a minute!" mode and I actually had to think.
You see I tend not to really notice people. I mean I can see people around me, heck I even see (mostly girls, but not always) people, have a good luck and think "She's cute/fine/fit/etc" and carry on with my day. No harm and it's not like I stalk anyone, but that's a tangent. Unusual conversation made me pay attention. So I focused my eyes properly and looked at the person talking to me.
H-OOOOLLLLY fresia SHE'S GORGEOUS!
I mean properly adorable, I'm tingling now just thinking about her (no not in a dirty way :club
She's got this lovely beaming face, and awesome light red hair, with these blonde streaks in the back, I could go on.
Well of course after that my brain went into a full-on thinking session. Does she remember because she remembers Cute Guy in the Van? Or because I'm usually the only customer they get at this time of night? Or even just because I go there far too often? Nah I don't go there THAT much. I should ask if she's been busy next time
Wait there pal, she works at McDonalds... You know the place known for hiring 16 and 17 year olds? YOU'RE 33 PAL. Well actually that's not too much of an issue, she's got to be at least 18 to be working overnight, that's the law and even Maccies won't screw with that. Well she could be 18 then? Nah doubt it she looks like management, so at least 22. Is that a problem? And the rest of the night went on like this, is an age gap a problem? Should it be? It's not for me would it be for her?
So the next day I went back round, to try and gague things. Here's my conclusions:
She really needs a name! No nametag!
Other register girls (and boys) give me a polite smile, or at the very least look like they're reasonably happy to do their job. Miss Wonderful smiles at me like "Wow it's you!"
She asks me if I'd like any sauce (when I get food) or napkins. Last time I said no to napkins but she gave me them anyway then said "Oh you didn't want any sorry *giggle*" She also tells me to "Have a good night" which most others don't.
But does that mean she's into me, or she's just awesome at her job? HOW CAN I TELL?
I should ask her things really, like does she work only nights, what time does she get off etc. Something to just slap me into being able to talk to her properly but then when I get there... Say something. Say something. SAY SOMETHING YOU TIT! like what? I DON'T KNOW SAY SOMETHING!" and then I don't
Well I shall end it here for now, since I don't know what else to say. Advice is welcome, any possible perspective from her side is also welcome. Anything but abuse and "man up" is welcome tbh
