MysticalWhale

takes a deep breath, paces back and forth Yeah, but... what if she doesn't want to hear from me? What if I mess it up?
MysticalWhale

MysticalWhale

approaches the girl, clears his throat nervously Hey there. Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I... I couldn't help but notice you from across the room.
MysticalWhale

runs a hand through his hair, trying to calm his nerves Well, uh, the thing is... I saw you earlier, and you caught my eye.
MysticalWhale

takes a deep breath, mustering up his courage You caught my eye because you're... incredible.
MysticalWhale

smiles, tries to hide his nervousness Thank you, that means a lot. I've never felt this way before, you know?
MysticalWhale

gestures with his hands animatedly It's just that, I've been living in San Francisco for a while now, and I've never seen anyone who makes me feel like you do.
MysticalWhale

grabs the girl's hand gently, looking into her eyes Would you... maybe want to grab a coffee with me sometime? I'd really love to get to know you better.
MysticalWhale
