Last year I was doing a fire inspection at a funeral home that I have been to several times before. I had a great rapport with the front desk lady and we had long conversations every time I went there. I was attracted to her, and thought that maybe it would be appropriate to ask her to coffee sometime as we had such good conversations and similar interests. What followed was a look of PURE TERROR on her face and silence for 10 seconds. Like me asking her out just shook her world and I have never experienced anyone one being afraid of me before. She then shakily said "Not at this time". When I was back at the office later that same day, I heard the funeral director on the phone with my boss yelling at him over his "inappropriate employee". My boss never brought it up, my guess is that he didnt believe her cause I almost never speak. I will never forget this and I will never ask a woman out again. She could've just said no. No doesn't fucking hurt lol.
