So I took everyone's advice and put it together as best I could. I waited to give the punchbowl girl a cool message but she didn't come to work, so I sent her a text saying:
I think I messed up asking you out the first time round. I haven't met someone I've liked as much as you in a long while. Do you want to go for a meal with me on Thursday after work?
She didn't text back for hours and I sat at my desk thinking about nothing else. I'm sure I've ballsed up every call I've done today but if she says yes then won't matter.
