Apollo, we have liftoff!

Well guys, I did it. I asked Ms. Zun out. I think she agreed to go out with me, though she didn't specifically say that. Here is how I asked her out. Maybe you can learn something from what I did. Maybe there are also things that I could have done better, so feel free to leave a comment about what you think.

 Basically it was during one of our typical lengthy Facebook chats when I asked her out, officially. It stemmed from when Ms. Zun revealed that she put some poor guy in the friendzone for two years, and it was because he wasn't upfront about how he felt about her. So I heard that, and I was like, yo screw this shit. #Yolo

 So I picked an opportune time during the chat to ask her out. Basically, I won't get into the extent nor the entirety of what I said, but I was upfront and confident. I told her that she was pretty, smart, funny, and I haven't met anyone else whom I had such a connection with. I told her that I was dating for 2 years, and I've never found anyone who I could date for more than 2-3 times. I also straight up told her, "Here's the game plan. Well, here's MY gameplan, and you can have whatever game plan you want." I then told her I was planning to take her out on a Foodie Tour, as well as go to the UBC Alumni weekend with the special guests, Adam Savage and Jame Hyneman. Then, I said that actually, there was one girl who I was able to click so much with, and she turned out to be my girlfriend for 3 years.

To diffuse that almost cocky remark that she was going to be my girlfriend, I told her that I wasn't telling her what to do. If during the first date she decides she doesn't like me and wants to pour a beverage over my head, she's free to do that. I'd even bring her a drink menu, help her pick the best beverage, and I'll even pay for it in the end. See, I showed confidence, and I plainly told her what I expect and what I want, but I negative sold it with the part about giving her freedom to dump drinks on my head. However, I did not give the choice of not even going on a first date with me. That would be disastrous for me.

 What did she say? She said I was very blunt about it, but she prefers it WAY (yes, all caps) more than if she had to guess, because she never would be able to. She also said I was pretty special too, and veeeery (that's right, 4 e's. It's legit) few guys are like me. (I set a good impression =D). Lastly, she said she has tonnes of random cravings, and things she wants to do/watch, "but guys who can also do some planning...thank you jesus." So I guess that's a yes.

We haven't set a specific time yet though, because we both have finals, and speaking of finals, I have to get studying again, but I just want to record what happened for posterity. I'm looking forward to the first date, and I have something up my sleeve, if executed right, will propel me light years from the boundaries of the friend zone. Wanna know what it is? Stick around for my next post =P
