"Suffer me if not gladly, than in silence sometimes"

Okay, so....like....*scowles*....I got asked out on a date tonight by one of the security guards, Carlos.

I'm...still pretty speechless as you can see. I've been blindsided. I was so not expecting this, mainly because...I dunno, I've never really noticed Carlos before. I mean, he works security so I see him everyday, say hi to him when I come into the building and...yeah...that's it. I haven't thought any more or less of him than any other cute guy that I've come in contact with since starting this job.

At closing he came up to the library and gave me a note, which, I must admit was a little too junior high for my taste, basically saying that he'd liked me since the first day I came to work at the library, and wanting to know if I'd be interested in going out some time. Just so happens I've been thinking recently that I'd like to go out to dinner at someone elses expense. Also, I get asked out so rarely when someone asks I almost always say yes. So, yeah, I'm booked for this wekend but I told him we could do it sometime next week. And he walked me to the train station at 66th street afterwards, which was nice of him.

Still I'm just.....I dunno. I think I'm in shock. The thought that there is someone who has been liking me for over a month is really strange. Guys don't like me. They just....don't.

First, I'm sure that there's plenty of guys that like you.

Second, if he had to give you a note, and couldn't say it, I would take that as a good sign. It may be junior high-ish as you said, but some guys never get past the inability to directly speak to a girl they like and whom they don't know (or who they do know for that matter). Think of it like this... you're so stunning he finds himself unable to speak when looking at you.

Hope you have fun.

I guess that's one way to look at it. I mean, I give him points for having the balls to approach me at all. But personally i prefer it when a guy just comes up and says it to my face. But, don't worry, I'm not holding it against him. I'm gonna go out, have a nice time, see if I like him.
