Extremely.

Zach

Cool cool cool

So

I know this is fast, and you can say no, but

Would you want to hang out sometime? Outside of the coffee shop? In a location where I haven’t humiliated myself?

Me

Bold of you to assume you won’t humiliate yourself elsewhere.

Zach

Fair. Humiliation is probably inevitable at this point.

But maybe you could be there to witness it?

Me

Wow. You really know how to sell a girl on a date.

Zach

Is that a yes?

I make him wait exactly two minutes before I respond. Not because I need to think about it, I knew my answer before he finished asking, but because I like the idea of him staring at his phone right now, probably convinced I’ve changed my mind.

Me

Yes, Zach. That’s a yes.

Zach

Really?

Me

Really.

Zach

Okay. Cool. Great. I’m going to go lay down now

Me

Try not to die before our date.

Zach

No promises.

I’m still grinningwhen I get home and flop on my bed with my phone, scrolling back through our conversation even though I basically have it memorized already.
