How's everybody doing? I see that nobody has posted in this thread lately. Look, I've been slacking as well with what just happened to my city on Monday. People have really formed a good bond with one another and it's nice to see that Boston is leaving the "Masshole" mentality behind for a little while. Anyways, to get my mind off of things, classes resumed on Thursday. I had to get my mind off of things and at least give myself some happiness because it's been FUBAR around Boston.
I just got out of my first class and went outside to chill. I saw a girl smoking a cigarette outside and thought I smelled somebody smoking weed.
Me: *sniff sniff* Hey. Is someone smoking weed here? Can you smell it?
Girl: No, I can't smell anything.
Me: Wow. I must have a dog noise or something.
Girl: Yeah, I guess so.
Me: *I sit down and she is checking her phone* Who are you waiting for?
Girl: Oh, my friend who's at the library. I'm just in-between Calculus right now with an hour to kill.
Me: So what do you do with this hour to kill?
Girl: *takes a hit of her cigarette* Just rip butts and chill
Me: *laughs* Sounds like a pretty good.
OK, I am not even going to get into specifics because I was legit talking to her for about 30 minutes. Just small talk like where she's from, where she lives now, her major, what she does for work, the events that happened on Monday. We were sitting on these large steps and there were four of them. She was sitting on the first one and I was sitting on the second one and I was about 6 feet away from her. I could already sense that we were building a good rapport with one another so I knew I had to "close-in" on her. As in, getting more close to her. In the beginning, she didn't even look at my face. In like 10 minutes into the conversation, she started to look at me a lot more.
Me: OK, I'm going to head off to get a drink before class.
Girl: Yeah, I'm going to ask this kid to help me with my Calculus homework. I'll see you around.
Me: You know we'll probably not see each other around. Why don't you put your phone number in my phone?
Girl: OK.
Me: Wow! I didn't know you wanted my phone number as well.
Girl: If you're getting mine, I might as well get yours.
Me: Sure. Why not.
I just got my drink and went right back outside. I seen some kids poser skater kids skating with this small *** deck but had some crazy wheels. I tried to do an ollie and did a manual when I spotted this woman probably around her late 20s'/early 30s. She was looking down on her phone not paying attention to her surroundings.
As I got off my board....
Me: Excuse me. Can I say something to you? Promise you won't get mad at me.
Woman: *giggling* OK. What is it?
Me: I just wanted to stop you today because I wanted to tell you that you look really nice and see what you were up to.
Woman: Oh my god! Thanks! I'm not even trying today. It was just going to be a quick day of classes.
Me: You know what really sets you apart is that swaggy Barbie bag that you have with you.
Woman: *laughs* You're hilarious! Yeah, my friend gave it to me after class for my birthday present.
Me: Happy Birthday! Can I give you a birthday hug?
Woman: Yes!
Woman: Thank you. Just another birthday down the drain. Birthdays are getting more fun than before I can say that much.
Me: The big 21? (Obviously, she was much older but wanted to make her feel young)
Woman: Nooooooooooooo, I'm way past 21 now. *laughs* How old do you think I am?
Me: *I put both of my hands on her hips at this moment to see if she was receptive of it, she was* Honestly, if you really want me to tell you how old I think you are, I am going to go for somewhere in the early 30s'. About 31, 32 or 33.
Woman: Nope, I just turned 36.
Me: Look at that. We have something in common.
Woman: What do you mean?
Me: We both look young for our age. How old you think I am?
Woman: I'm going to say 22 or 23.
Me: Close. I'm 26.
Woman: Boy, you don't look anything like 26.
Woman: I know you're Asian but what kind of Asian? I'm Hispanic.
Me: Chino. Chinese
And you're Puerto Rican?
Woman: Half Puerto Rican and half Dominican.
Me: Nice! Que lo que?
Woman: OMG! You're hilarious!
Woman: How do you know how to say that?
Me: It's from dating Dominican girls. And if I wanted to eat, I couldn't speak English to the mother. I was forced to speak Spanish.
Woman: You're really good at it.
Me: I'm bilingual as it is anyways so I might as well learn more languages. But Spanish was something I picked up quite easily.
Woman: You are something else.
Me: Listen, I have to get going now to my next class. How about you put your phone number down?
Woman: Sure. I would love to.
Me: *I give my phone to her*
Woman: Is this your number *She lets me look at her phone to see if my phone pops up on the caller ID*
Me: Yes, that is me.
Woman: What's your name? I want to put your number down into my contacts
Me: Kevin
Me: And you are?
Woman: Eliana
Me: It was a pleasure chatting with you.
Woman: Thank you for coming up to me. You made my day.
Me: You're welcome. Bye.
Woman: Bye
I started texting her now and she told me what she liked about me when I went up to her. Here are few snippets:
