Dear Diary,
I have been given a chance by the one and only Spencer Carlin. The mission: to win her heart. The challenge: I literally know nothing about her. I guess I have to overcome the challenge first before I can move on to the mission. So, how do I get to know Spencer.. Should I ask her out on a date or keep things casual? There are a lot of options here.
End Diary
After we left the club, Spencer dropped me off at my house and went home. I told her I would call her tomorrow so we could plan something.
So now I'm in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and two Tylenol to try to rid myself of this headache I woke up with.
My phone starts ringing, and I look to see that it is Aiden calling. He probably wants to know how last night turned out.
"Hey Aiden, what's up?" I ask him.
"Nothing here, Ash. What happened last night? I talked to Spencer a few days ago but I didn't think she would show up at the club!" He says a little too loudly for my head.
"Let's go grab some lunch and I'll tell you all about it".
Aiden brought Kyla along and we talked about last night over lunch. I brought up my many questions about how I should get to know Spencer. Aiden seems to think that being casual is the way to go so I don't scare her off but Kyla says I should ask her on a date so Spencer knows that I'm serious about this.
I agree with Kyla, but I don't really go on many dates. Before I started dating Kayla, I always met people at clubs. I want to do something cute but I don't want to come off as too serious too fast.
We have come up with many ideas such as a simple dinner and movie, going to a concert, hanging out at the park, going to a sporting game, but since I don't really know her I don't know if she even likes sports, or what kinds of music she likes.
I decide that I'm going to ask her to have a picnic with me. I figure this is kind of casual but still will give us time alone to get to know each other.
Another thing I have to figure out is when to ask her to go with me. I don't want to ask her too soon after last night, but I don't want to wait too long and have her think I wasn't serious.
I guess the only way I'll find out is when I talk to her.
After I got home from lunch, I took a nap and now I'm lying in bed thinking about Spencer.
I decide to text her and see what she's doing.
Hey Spencer, whatcha up to? –ash
I get a reply a few minutes later.
Hi Ashley, I'm eating dinner with my family.. blah. How about you? –spencer
Oh nothing important. Are you busy this week? –ash
My brother has a basketball game Wednesday that he wants me to go to but other than that I'm free –spencer
I definitely want to ask her before Wednesday but I don't want to ask her in a text. That's totally lame. Maybe I can see her tonight.
Wanna take a walk after you finish dinner? –ash
Sure meet me in the park at 7:30? –spencer
I'll bring coffee, what do you like? –ash
I'll have what youre having –spencer
See you in a bit, gorgeous –ash
I hope I don't freak her out by calling her gorgeous, I mean she has to already know she is really really attractive.
I jump in the shower and start getting ready to leave. I shouldn't be this excited to see her. I mean I just saw her last night…
