I think I'm in love with a girl from a sub shop

[Droopy]

I ducked into a truck stop the mother day to grab a bite to eat after running 400 miles and making a delivery. I had to go immediately from that delivery to pick up another load that was 100 miles away. I didn't give a damn how hot that load was. I was starving.

The truck stop had a Subway restaurant inside it and that's where I saw her. She looked at me a few times while she was washing her hands then walked over to get my order. There was something about her that made me want to lean oiver the counter and plant a big ol' kiss on her. Maybe it was when she asked me if I was going to kiss anybody when I asked her for extra onions or the way she looked at me without saying anything. I don't know. She wasn't really good looking or anything. She wasn't trying to flirt. But something about her made me feel like I was at home and comfortable.

I didn't try to start conversation or to get her number, though. I've always been shy about that sort of thing. If you work at the T/A Subway at exit 10 on I-70 in Ohio and you saw a big guy with a buzz cut and a black t-shirt yesterday that looked like he was going to lean over the counter give you a smooch send me a PM.

1. Go back

and tell her to look at this webpage.

[Omphaloskepsis]

19. "She wasn't really good looking or anything"

That should go over well..

[Droopy]

39. I'm not really good looking either

What I'm trying to say is that it wasn't really her looks that turned me on.

[Haole Girl]

43. Oh, good point.

:spray:

[REDKING]

2. Listen,Life is moments.That it...Just talk to the girl...

Life is way too short.Take every moment you can get.

[skygazer]

3. Make a point to go back

Smile and talk to her. Ask for her number. I'd hold off on the smooch - might startle her. ;)

[Droopy]

4. The good thing is

that she probably lives only about 30 miles away from me.

[BikeWriter]

5. Regrets are cold comfort in an old man's bed...

Detour past there, and tell her how many miles you drove out of your way to see her pretty smile again.

[REDKING]

7. I never heard that expression before...

Thats a beauty.Wisdom.

[BikeWriter]

36. Thank you, it's original as far as I'm aware. ;-)

[MadHound]

6. DUDE!

I understand all about being painfully shy around women, but man, when the moment arrives you've got to pull it together and talk to the lady. This might have been your only chance, and believe me, not many chance come down the pike in one's life.

Make it a point to stop back by ASAP, and talk to her. Don't try to be all slick and shit, just be yourself. Get a phone number, ask her out, get to know her. You'll never know if it will all end well unless you talk to her, and if you don't, you just might wind up regretting it for a long while.

[driver8]

21. Great advice!

Madhound speaks the truth.

See your future...Be...Be your future. (From Caddyshack in case you are wondering.)

[Rhiannon12866]

24. If she's that close, you'll have other chances.

Make it a point, if you can, to become a regular there. That way, she can get to know you with no pressure and become comfortable with you, though it sounds like she's already pretty comfortable with herself, a great quality. Then you can ease into getting more personal, maybe asking her out. I got to know a guy that way, when he returned, regularly, to the store where I worked. By the time he asked me out, I already felt like I knew him. Good luck and let us know!:-)

Rhiannon:hi:

[ceile]

8. Wasn't it a great feeling?

Want it back? Go see her!!!

[elehhhhna]

9. Do this:

Stop in again. Bring her a rose. Say something stupid like "I'll trade ya this for your phone number". I advised my shy neighbor-guy do this 10 years ago and now they're married w/3 kids & happy.

[Wetzelbill]

10. I like things like that

I fall in love with many women over the course of a week. :)

[jadedconformist]

26. I thought I was the only one

I noticed I get giddy about certain girls as well. I think I marry at least five girls in my head every week.

[Derailer]

30. Do you ever feel jilted

when she turns out to be a bitch or aloof though?

I saw this good-looking blond clerk in a store I delivered to one night. I just knew we would hit if off and my mind set to wnadering.

Now she didn't work the register all the time so I didn't get to talk to her everyday but I always kept my eye out for the cutie with the big bubble jacket (it was winter)

Then one day I spotted another blond, this one working the register, with her hair pulled back, not nearly as pretty a face as the other babe though. Now in a vacuum I'd stop and chat with her since the overnight shift is really slow at the store normally. But she kind of had this offputting air about her so I never got much past "Hey, what's going on tonite? Everything cool at the store?" That kinda stuff.

One night I notice the other girl's bubble jacket laying on the counter while this girl's working and I get suspicious.

Long story short its the same girl, she just looks like 1000x times better with her hair down.

Anyway, I eventually see her good side again and strike up a conversation, but all she ends up asking me is about my brother which irritates me a little. Its the lamest shit in the world. My brother is pathologically shy so I know he'd barely ever given her the time of day. When I try that route all I ever get is a glower and hostitility. But some how chicks fall over themselves for him...fuck.

Long story short, she'd barely talk to me after that, oftentimes avoiding me, which is absurd since I was never rude to her, just uninterested when it came to talking about my brother

To top it all off she'd flirt with pretty much ANY other guy that came in, which indicates she had a problem with me from the start.

The whole thing really dragged me down and in a couple of momements of wallowing in depression I considered quitting my job rather than have to play the awkward game of ignoring each other every night

Then I met a nice girl who worked in receiving and loading at the supermarket and forgot about the blond entirely

[Wetzelbill]

31. ohhhh yes I have

I used to see this really gorgeous blonde girl on the bus all the time. A month or so ago I asked her for the time while we were standing at an intersection after we got off the bus. She seemed really cool, laughed etc. So last week I walked by her on campus and stopped to say hi, she was not too friendly. She acted pretty odd too. Not nearly as cool as the first time I talked to her.

However, minutes later I was sitting in class next to this model gorgeous sweetheart who is getting to be a good buddy of mine so it all worked out in the end. :) So yes, much like you, I forgot about the other one pretty quickly.

[Derailer]

33. Have you ever met a girl on the bus?

One time it was late at night and I was coming back on the bus from the mall and these two girls were the only other passengers on the bus.

They didn't know each other but they started talking and I overheard their whole conversation. One of them was typical vapid college party girl. The other though was perfect: not a bombshell but attractive, grounded, earthy sense of humour, and the kind of neat perspective where she can make a comment on just about any topic that makes you pause for a moment because either it exactly matches your own opinion or makes you totally reevaluate your feelings on the subject.

They traded numbers at the behest of miss valley girl (she liked "making new friends") and I overheard her # too. Now I was desperately seeking a way to introduce myself into their conversation that wouldn't seem to creepy but drew a blank. I considered calling her anyway for the longest time but never did...:(

[Wetzelbill]

34. a few times

mainly just recognizable faces that I would always see around. A few I have some conversations with from time to time. One girl, she always wore headphones. I wanted to talk to her for the longest time, but she never took the damn things off. Finally after nearly a year of seeing her around I was able to introduce myself. We talk from time to time, but just don't see each other much nowadays. I like the myth of her though. The Headphone Girl. It almost ruined it when I actually found out her name, haha.

[Derailer]

35. I only ask because all my bus rides have ever generated for me

is alot of pining with little payoff. Lotsa nice, chatty girls ride the bus but somehow few ever seem accessible to me lol

*DISCLAIMER*not a stereotype*END DISCLAIMER* White girls are many times the least approachable MOO*. Black girls are funner :D

MOO* = my opinion only,

no flames please, thanks

EDIT: brackets make text invisbile

[Wetzelbill]

32. I'd marry them, but even in my head I'm not willing to commit

:rofl:

[jadedconformist]

37. CRAP. HERE WE GO AGAIN

I met this girl on this dating site, we've exchanged several e-mails, and now I can't stop thinking of her. I'm a mess. I don't even want to look at another girl when I got out tonight. Oh, and I've already married her in my head, and had the honeymoon, etc.

Ugh.

:shrug:

[u4ic]

38. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[jadedconformist]

40. Re: Welcome to DU!

Thanks. Love it here already! I think I just may slip of my shoes, pop open a beer and stay awhile.

:toast:

[Derailer]

11. One thing I've learned is you can be overt but still subtle

saves you from yourself sometimes. Like when I flirted with the manager from the Quik Check and she casually slipped in a reference to her husband to defuse a potentially awkward situation...chicks are pretty good at reading the signals too, so that helps

...unless she was lying about being married or something

[jadedconformist]

27. hmm

Was she sporting her ring?

[Derailer]

29. tatoos on the back of her neck and arms

no lip rings since she was at work though. On her arms she has barcodes and on her neck she has her initials.

But the best part is she also has this frumpy geek chick thing going on. Stands maybe 5 foot talk, glasses...I guess I'm still a little hot for her lol

Not sure if she'd be the type to sport a wedding ring. The thing is its hard to pin down her age exactly. I initially thought she was in HS only working weekends. Until I saw the sign that said she was the Manager of the store.

I saw her hanging out with some guy who also looked to be my age (24) or less in a Nirvana T-shirt who by process of elimination I concluded was hubby but...:who knows:

[miss_american_pie]

12. Go talk to the girl!

She probably sits home on weekends because no one ever asks her out. :)

[Lefty48197]

13. I think it's time for you to "go see about a girl"

This time tell her to hold the onions, just in case you're lucky enough to get a kiss from her.
Then stop by the 7-11 for a twelve pack of Old Milwaukee and a box of condoms and get ready to party.

[jadedconformist]

28. ROFLMAO

You guys slay me :rofl:

[TroubleMan]

14. I met my wife when she was working at Subway.

You never know what could happen.

[HughBeaumont]

15. Oooh. THAT girl.

Damnit, soldier, as a fellow DUer and Ohioan, you're going to head back in that truck, TO THAT EXIT, TO THAT SUBWAY . . . and say something brilliant. The kind of line that writers think of as they walk down the street and get kicked in the teeth by beauty, inspiration or warmth. If she isn't there, return until she is. Things like this don't come easy or often, and life's too damned short.

[TheProphetess]

16. You absolutely need to go back and see what happens

This is how love works sometimes - it just kicks you in the stomach when you aren't looking. In this case, the kick was a sandwich prepared by a very nice young woman. GET YOUR BUTT BACK THERE SOON!!

[Skittles]

17. the mother day

is that some kind of Freudian slip? :o

[Nicole]

18. So?

Did you get a PM yet? :)

[driver8]

20. I fell in love with a waitress that worked at a Bennigan's in Chicago.

Her name was Ann and she was absolutely unbelievable!! I ate more shitty meals at that Bennigan's just to see her.

Sigh...:loveya:

You definitely have to go back!!

[fudge stripe cookays]

22. Not the one across from the Art Institute was it?

Shittiest service I've ever had at a restaurant. We left a penny tip to make a point, and I'm usually a really good tipper.

But unless Ann was a very snotty black lady with a serious attitude problem, she had nothing to worry about. ;-)

[driver8]

25. Nope -- it wasn't that one.

It was on Michigan Ave.

[bbernardini]

23. But have you ever been in love with a McDonald's girl? (Lyrics inside)

My favorite version of this tune is by Barenaked Ladies, but it's rather clever, whoever performs it.

I leave from softball practice every night
It's getting dark, but the "Golden Arches" light up the way
I turn the corner at the traffic light
I count my money and then I rehearse what I'm going to say
"I'd like an order of fries, a quarter-pounder with cheese,
I love the light in your eyes, will you go out with me please?"

I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She is an angel in a polyester uniform

She doesn't try to impress anyone
She doesn't act all tough like all the other girls that I know
She don't treat me like a simpleton
She's not ashamed to be the only other virgin I know
When my hamburger's cold, I get up ready to go,
She's only fifteen years old, and I'm in love with her soul

(Steve Page Rap Solo)
She's got a gold tooth, you know she's hardcore
She'll show you a good time, then she'll show you the door...BOY!

I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She is an angel in a polyester uniform

There she stands behind the register
She's taking orders from the Saddle River Little League
If they knew how much I wanted her
Their home-room teachers would have to send them home for a week
As I head through the door, the movement catches her eye,
My heart begins to soar, she smiles, she waves good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She is an angel in a polyester uniform

Uno, dos, tres, quatro
Big Mac, Filet o Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries
Icey Coke, Thick Shakes, Sundaes and Apple Pies
Sing that song of taste
You can only find at one place: McDonalds

I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She is an angel in a polyester uniform

[REDKING]

41. Have you not talked to that girl yet.....

Get a FUCKING move on....action...move

[Droopy]

44. Not yet

I'm still trying to think of a good line. I don't want to just go in there and order another sandwich and say, "Your cute. Can I have your number?" I'm horribly inexperienced in these matters.

[Haole Girl]

42. How touching, really!

You've renewed my faith in romance. I wish you'd go back and ask her if she's married or involved, though. She may not read DU...then what?

[Droopy]

45. I'm sure she doesn't read DU

But I'm going up there as soon as I get enough courage. Maybe tomorrow.

[oxbow]

46. This thread makes me smile :)

I say go with the "rose for your number" line. It's a very sweet idea.

seriously though dude, you have nothing to lose. If she says no, you'll never have to see her again. If she says yes....well, you know the rest.
