Yay
So, at work I'm now In charge of Safety and Public Relations (which for those of you who know me well both probably seem rather odd), which will soon entail a raise, and I get to get out of the store to go around to local businesses and such and try to set up advertising deals and the like. Fun fun...

Now for the past couple months I've been developing an interest in a certain female (pictured above), and of course, me being me, become friends with her, which I am commonly told is a death-stroke to the possibility of a relationship... So things go on and I become pretty good friends with her, and the more I get to know her the more I like her... The past two mondays we've been going bowling, and last Monday I actually worked up the courage to ask her out. Now that may not seem like much of a feat to anyone who doesn't know me, but I have never actually ever directly asked a girl out, there's always been a third party hooking me up. This is a milestone for me... She turned me down, but I'm still quite ecstatic about the whole thing, she's still in weird mode from her last relationship, and she wasn't mean about it and as far as I can see it hasn't made our relationship as friends awkward which honestly was something I was quite afraid of, I quite value my friendship with her. I still intend to make attempts to pursue her, but carefully, I don't want her to think I just became friends with her as an attempt to get her to go out with me, or worse yet just to sleep with her... I became friends with her because I really like her as a person, she's sweet, funny, and nice as can be, admittedly many of the same qualities that make me value her as a friend are also behind me wanting to go out with her. I would be quite happy to stay friends with her.... Though I would be much happier to date her :D .
This is really quite a strange thing for me, pursuing a girl, I'm not really all that sure how to go about it, and my asking her out is probably one of the most awkward in history (something pretty close to, "Will you go out with me, in a datey kind of way?"). Hmm... well time for me to go before I make myself look like more of a geek than I already am.
