“Take your shot, stranger. You’ll only get one.” She said after she walked over to my table turned the chair around before she sat down with her arms crossed. Thats all it took. I was hers. That laid back posture. That smile. That opening line that was so nerdy yet also oozed confidence. How do you even respond to such an opening line. “Hi, I’m Ted” clearly wouldn’t cut it with a girl like this. I need to say something and fast though. I can’t let her get away. I don’t have anything that clever, maybe I have something that nerdy. I chuckled and smiled back at her. I raised my arms “No need to shoot, I come in peace.” Awful, what was that? She raised her eye brows back at me with a chuckle and a smile of her own. Did that actually work? Quick keep talking while she’s still here. “Why don’t we just talk this out? We’ve both been traveling awhile. Maybe we can continue our journeys together.” Kind of lame, but also very true. This speed dating thing has been two hours of torture. She’s the one, let’s finish the quest here. “You’re a total nerd aren’t you?” Before I could even stammer out a response she smiles. “I like that, keep talking.” Jackpot.
