[QUOTE=Red Barchetta] 1. I’m a giant pussy [/QUOTE] So get over it. > [@](#): > > 1. I can’t even freakin’ remember her name – that could be awkward if someone besides her answers the door. That’s a problem. Sooner or later you’re going to have to own up to that and ask again. For now call her Cool Biker Chick. > [@](#): > > 1. What if she already has a boyfriend or something? Who cares? Assume she doesn’t. If she brings it up later, then you’ll know. And please please please, don’t ask. That’s an instance where a false positive can ruin things for both of you. But I get it about blowing in-the-moment chances. I had one yesterday. I was stopped on the sidewalk by two incredibly cute young ladies. They wanted to know if I knew when the parking meters were no longer in effect. I said that I think it’s 6:00, but it probably says right on the meter. We searched around and found that yes, it was in fact 6:00. “Huh, five minutes to go”, one girl said. “Do you think we’ll be OK?” She was asking me as much as she was asking her friend. I was clearly in an interaction. I said “Hey, if you want to take the chance… Just put in a quarter, you’ll be good.” She said she didn’t have one. Her friend started looking for nickels and dimes. I rolled my eyes and handed the friend a quarter. They were greatful. They were incredibly greatful. One immediately stuck her hand out to shake mine and called me a great guy. Their body language screamed that I could have asked them for anything, and they would have gladly given it. I used that tried and true pickup line “Ok. Umm… bye.” Jackass. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-met-a-girl-at-a-gas-station-and-i-think-i-missed-her-call/440417)._
