alright so i was at my friend's party last night and it was pretty chill, you know. lots of people talking, music blasting from the speakers; it was one of those parties where you need to shout just to be heard. anyway, i'm standing there with a drink in hand, kind of scanning the room like you do when you're trying to find someone interesting to chat with. then boom, i see her. some girl across the room laughing with a bunch of friends (i swear her smile was like something outta a movie), and instantly i'm like 'wow okay'. so now i'm thinking great, how do i even begin talking to her? she's in this whole group of people and i'm just one dude who doesn't wanna interrupt whatever convo they've got going on.

now usually, i'd just wait until she's alone ya know? catch her getting a drink or something. but this time it felt different: like if i waited too long i might totally miss my chance. plus with the music being so loud (it was practically its own character at the party honestly) every interaction involved shouting which isn't exactly how i'd choose to start an epic romcom meet-cute story. what made it more tricky is that we don't have any mutual friends around from what I could tell... at least none that i knew well enough to casually slide over there without feeling awkward as heck.

dude in moments like these i always remember this quote 'the only thing we have to fear is fear itself' haha yeah kinda dramatic but true right? so eventually after overthinking it for what feels like forever in my head, i decide screw it i'll introduce myself mid-club anthem volume because why not live a little! unfortunately by then she and her friends started moving towards another part of the house so here's me standing there amusingly defeated wondering if that's fate telling me it wasn't meant to be haha. maybe i'll get another shot or run into her someday under less loud circumstances? hope springs eternal or however that saying goes.
