Hey OP. Faggot here. Well, not gay, just a fag.
So, about the time I was 21, I was working at a chilis as a cook. I had been there for about 9 months and the job was going well.
I was definitely looking for a girl to date, and started to put myself out there. So, along comes a brand new server named Brittney. She wasn't "hot" but fairly attractive. I really wanted to ask her out, and the thought of it was driving me insane. I was hopelessly nervous around her, not awkward, but clearly nervous. My insides were doing backflips. She was nice, a year older than me, red hair, and a great attitude. Nice ass too! So, I tell Britt that I want to do some karaoke and ask if she wants to go out to a bar with me. She is excited and accepts! I take her out and she brings another server from work and we are all hanging out at the bar. Mind you, I cannot eat. I constantly feel hungry but the moment I put food in my mouth, I feel like I want to vomit. This girl had me in a trance. Something I never felt from anybody in my entire fucking life. I swear, I've never ever met a girl that gave me anywhere near the feeling she did.
We are at the bar, I order a couple drinks to loosen up a bit. Its working, things are pretty chill. Then two other guys start sitting near here and making conversation. I, being a total beta at the time keep sipping my beer and tell myself if she likes me, she will talk to me, so I just sit there and say nothing. I pretend that I don't care, and sure, its working, still don't know if that was a good move or not.
Britt is nice to everybody, makes talk, asks me what I want to sing, and I get up on stage nervous as fuck, but did it. I did ok, girls were dancing on the floor. Nothing special.
We leave the bar and grab some drive thru. Britt is cool. My patience paid off. She drops me off at my place and I go to pass out in my bed.
About two hours later, at roughly 1am she texts me and asks me if I want to come over.
