Today I Messed Up (funny story)

            I work at a computer/cellphone repair shop. I have a wonderful regular who brought in her sister and her sisters two daughters to get a few phones setup and repaired before they go to Ecuador (her sister lives there). I look a little Hispanic and I am used to customers coming in and start speaking in Spanish to me before I awkwardly tell them that i cant speak more than 7th grade Spanish. I told this beautiful girl who can thankfully speak both English and Spanish to create an apple account for her mother. During this entire fiasco of an entire hour worth of stupid Apple BS, she kept going back and forth socializing with her family and coming to me for the account creation walk through. As I got fed up from requesting my "regular" to call her over every time I needed information I tried to ask her for her name. To impress her, I wanted to say it in Spanish "como te llamas?" which means, what is you're name? But instead of that, As me and her are within "kissing distance" of each other, as she is typing on the iPhone, I say "Te Llamo?", It sounds like "Te Amo" (which means, I love you" and all I think im asking for is her name.

 

            When I say it the first time she giggles a few times but continues to create the account because she knew I didn't speak Spanish for the life of me. A few minutes later the entire family starts laughing profusely while I finalize the account. Later on in the day I ask my boss how to say "what is your name?" and he says what I was trying to say "como te llamas? Then I ask him why she was acting all weird about it because she never gave me her name. My boss asks me what I said to her, and I told him "Te Amo" which at the time I thought meant, "your name?". He starts laughing his ass off and tells me that I confessed my love to the girl instead of asking for her name. Now I cant stop thinking about her and how this situation could have gone any worse :P 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

She giggled the first time and gave me a look. But i asked her twice thinking she didn't understand what I was asking her. Second time she stayed quiet and just focused on the phone. Picture a crazy person saying ILY randomly to a girl. Sure first time its funny, second time not so much. Then a few minutes later everyone started laughing which i didnt realize was directed towards me.

For some reason the replies are broken. 

 

When I told her yesterday she was flattered the first time, but like a fuckin moron I kept repeating it because i was wondering why she isnt giving me her name. Her facial expressions changed and she looked like she wasnt having a fun time like 5 seconds ago. I didnt get her number and she also came into the store today. Sadly she probably thinks im a creep and just sat in the waiting area on the phone without any eye contact or anything. I guess I scared her off.

The only upside to this is that I started brushing up on my spanish. So now I can impress many more women who come into my store. This is going to be such an exciting time for me! hopefully I dont get any restraining orders; wish me luck.

If she comes back you could just explain what happened, you could both laugh from that and then you are back in the game.

Only one question, how old are you compared to the girl? if it's less than 5 years old then ask her out!

If more than 5 years old (so maybe she's 15 and you're 25), TIME TO FLEE THE COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY!!!!! Else you'll be behind some concrete walls and bars :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

She's 20 years old. She was quite short (picture your stereotypical Spanish women). I'm 19, so we are around the same age.
