For everyone following along in my read-along-blog, I did end up asking that nurse out. My timing is terrible, of course, but I knew it would never be good. I may not speak to her ever again. Hadn't heard from her for a week and I didn't bother her. Texted her earlier, got the response I expected. It's never a simple no. Today, or perhaps a week and a half ago, I because "just another dude who befriended her in hopes of someday fucking her." Why does it always end up there? That's not me...that's not who I am. But I am a guy, so why not just lump me in with all the other assholes? Whatever, I guess. Just another bump in the road, right?
