The Punchbowl Girl was in work today (she wasn't in yesterday). She didn't sit beside me. She sat on the other side of the room. I thought I'd better have it out with her.
At break I asked her if I could have a word and me and her went out into the corridor.
"So is there something up?" I asked her.
She shrugged.
"It's just you've been acting distant since last week. What happened to us having sex and fun?"
"I never said we'd stopped it."
"Oh, so is everything okay with us?"
"What do you mean us? I thought you wanted my number so you could ask me out? But you didn't."
"Do you want to go to cheapo Tuesday's at the cinema this evening?"
"Forget it," she said walking away.
At the time I didn't know what I'd done but now reading it back as I type I realised I was an asshole. Anyone any good date suggestions in Belfast? I don't mind splashing the cash, especially because I think she thinks I think she's a cheap date.
Hi Kidd,
ReplyDeleteWhat about taking her for a nice meal? Try Ginger in Hope St cracking food, casual atmosphere and not to scary on the pocket. I pick up here all the time when i work and never heard a serious complaint about the place. Heres there website http://www.gingerbistro.com/
good luck mate
approach her with a nice flower and a card, write you are sorry for being an arse, you haven't met anyone so nice as her and would she like to go out to a meal with you.
ReplyDeleteleave it on her station (make sure she's in first maybe put it there when she nips off to the loo or something)
good luck!

Ask her for a meal. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteTake her to see a film, there's some reviews of what to watch and what to avoid on http://unwatchedfilmreviews.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteTake her to that french place on the ormeua road. very nice place, i think it's called le toile or something.
ReplyDeleteDude. What the shit. You actually used the word cheapo!? Sunuvabitch that wasn't clever. D: Although it's a good thing she wasn't feel vulnerable at the time or that coulda really done some damage.

Wait!
Belfast Cabby - A nice meal sounds good. I like the sound of ginger but it's not a first date place.
ReplyDeleteCat - good idea I was going to do it today but she wasn't in work. I had to resort to crappy old text. Just by the by what's a good flower to buy that isn't as obvious as a red rose?
Anon - That's the plan.
I Don't Watch Films - Those sound like scary ass pirate copies acted out by snuff professionals.
Danny Gillen - That's a good idea but not a first date place either. One to note if we make it to two or three.
Incredinane - Fraid so, it just came blurting out. I tried to say it in as nice and playful way as I could but it came out like a moth from an old wallet.
Gerbera Daisys are good - lovely cheery looking flowers and you can get them in loads of different colours too.
