I went to Whole Foods today and saw the most gorgeous man ever. He was 2 persons ahead of me in line, and he was laughing and talking easily w.the cashier, who seemed to know him somewhat. As he signed his receipt, he smiled brilliantly and said(albeit affectedly) "Ciao." It was like a real Italian "Ciao" not a dirty American trying to look cool kind of "Ciao." Ciao.
So when I got to the front of the line, I asked the cashier, sheepishly: "Uh... that guy with the leather jacket... does he come here all the time?" She got this little glint in her eye and said he came in there at least twice a week. Then she said, "Do you want me to tell him you're interested? I can tell him next time he comes in." I stammered a little and blushed so hard, I felt like my head was getting ready to explode. I think I nodded.
Then I paid for my groceries and she called out my name, saying "You forgot to give me your number!" Still blushing, I wrote my number on the back of my receipt and gave it to her.
And now it occurs to me that: 1)I have done something so stupid, so desperate, so high-schoolish. What the fuck did I think was going to happen, that we'd have some type of meet-cute? He went there to shop for food, as normal people do, not to be harassed by some strange girl. I bet he's going to laugh about it with his friends when he gets my number. 2)If he's smart enough to turn the receipt over, he will see that I have purchased organic tampons, quinah, fat-free yogurt. Ugh, how humiliating.
I blame this on my lack of sex. Not having sex is making me act like some desperate banshee.
What have I done?
