Dear Diary,

Last night I talked to Jack and he said sorry he’s so busy, but he can’t do anything about it and I said I wouldn’t be happy going through the last two weeks again and he said we could put things on hold until he wasn’t as busy, and I said I didn’t want to be his on call girlfriend so I decided we’d better just give up, seeing as how it doesn’t feel like we’re together anyway. Then, today at work, there is this cutie named Joe, and we spent the entire day together and he’s so awesome. I totally have a crush on him! @doozywhoop is like “go for it!” but I think Joe would be like ‘hi… barely know you!” so maybe later on down the road I’ll ask him if he wants to go for a drink casually after work, OR maybe he’ll even ask me! What a treat that would be! Anyway, he’s such a cutie! He’s so funny, both of us were just like, laughing profusely all day long! and he said “slash” too! YAY!

Ha! I did it! I asked him! All day today he was alone hanging shirts, and I knew that I was going to lose my chance, so I was on my way over and Ashley came over and was talking to him and yeah, then she left and I procrastinated and then she came back and he was only going to be there for another half hour. So she left and I took this hook to the back room and then passed him on my way back and I’m like “hi” and talked to him for a minute and then I’m like “but, uh, what are you doing this weekend?” and he’s like Me? Oh, I have to work on Saturday, but that’s about it. Why?” and I’m like “I don’t know, do you want to like, go out?” and he’s like “sure!” and he said it like he had considered it prior to me asking him. So I’m like “ok, uh, do you work until 3 today?” and he’s like “yeah, when are you here until?” and I’m like “5″ and he’s like “oh yeah” and I’m like “so come and find me in Men’s denim before you leave.” So then he came over like when he was leaving and he’s like “So, I’m outta here” and I’m like “ok” and he’s like “ok, do you work Friday?” and I’m like ‘uh yeah, until 7″ and he’s like “Yeah, I work until 6″ and then he’s like “Well, we should exchange numbers then?” and I’m like “Well, do you have a pen” and he did, and wrote my number on this binder that he had and I wrote his number on my hand and then he left. Yay! And I couldn’t even tell anyone because Amanda wasn’t there! I was like, exploding with excitement for two hours until I could actually tell someone! I wonder what he’s thinking about all this! Yay! I don’t know when/if to tell Jack though… uh oh.

*time warp to present day* Oh dear. PLEASE tell me you also have exerpts from your diary like this!!! And have you asked out a dude before? How did it turn out?

***EDIT***
It appears many of you are wondering how the date went with Joe (7 years ago). We saw each other for about a month, decided it wasn’t working, and so we were good friends for the next 3 years until we just kind of drifted apart.
