Had a pretty funny exchange with a girl yesterday, lives in my neighborhood, goes to law school. Saw her at a trendy taco spot by my house, then saw her the next day at a trendy bakery, then saw her again, walking in the area. I finally stopped her and said "Hey were you a the taco spot last night"
and we had a quick back and forth about that and whatever else, she's from LA. I was in a hurry and said I would talk to you longer, but lets have coffee tomorrow
She got that funny look, where she wasn't uncomfortable with me, but had like that Gen Z anxiety rambling. She says something like "well I have a situation....uhhh relationship...uhh I am kinda like in a situation.....and I don't want to mislead you..." and I was like don't worry about it, but what if we just get coffee? how many people do you even know in the city?
Somehow that turned into me saying, so if we meet up and hang out and talk, it's ok, but if we plan it, like exchange numbers, it's not? So, meet me without the texting. And she's like you're trying to find a loophole. And I was like you want to see me again, but we can't plan it. So I'll see you around. And the next day we ran into each other again, and we are both smiling and laughing.
