Regarding the girl who asked me out on a date...

I'm sure it will never happen. After all, we never planned a specific time for it to happen. Here i am, alone with my beer, wishing i took the initiative. I never actually got her number. If i had it, i'd call her right now! I gave her mine, and asked her to call me whenever she'd like. How cowardly. Then she has to take the risk of being rejected instead of me! It's not like i would reject her, of course, but i might accidentally miss her call, and she'd be saddened thinking i've ignored her. As a man, i'm the one who's supposed to shoulder the painful feeling of rejection. It's awful to put such a burden onto a woman. And so, i assume i have failed, and that she's now forgotten all about me. I have only myself to thank.
