I consistently see this one particular girl at the gym, she’s nice looking, and several times over a few weeks we make eye contact, and so, naturally, I’m like, okay, she “MIGHT” be into me, maybe, somewhat?

So today, the gym closed at 5 and she happened to be parked next to me, and so, I put my gym stuff in the trunk of my car and before I head to the drivers side, I take a small breath, and I literally say in my head, “stoicism baby, whatever happens it’s cool, not a big deal” So I go to her, small tap her car and she rolls down her window, I continued to say that I see her often here at the gym, and that I think she’s really pretty, finally I say if she’s seeing someone. She says she is but she is very flattered that I even came and did this. I said “oh hey no worries! what a lucky man he must be! Well! I won’t take too much of your time, thank you!” Finally she asked me what my name is and I said my name, and she said hers, and then it was farewell after that.

In the end I was completely satisfied with being rejected because it’s a step forward, and I’m glad I did this 😊

Stoicism, guys 👍
