Hey, I'm back! I had food poisoning and missed the opportunity to give Jake my great advice..
When asking her out definitely your second choice of last night would be best.
Whoever told you to show her how to sign coffee, I think it was a good idea.
My husband said to say, " Hey if you learn sign, I would make a good husband"
He is a little forward and he is also funny like Jacob. And this brash approach works in reverse, because our ASL teacher loves him and laughs a lot even though I have to keep translating what he is trying to tell her.
great advice, botts. I have ripped up the note earlier today cause I have made another way, and the gal played frisbee with me and my friend, earlier this morning and it was a good start, alls well ends well
If this works out I claim partial credit since my husband made one of the sign suggestions!I went back to the cafe to get the afternoon coffee, she was there, and she said hello and I replied back with a hello. I orderded the coffee by her other co worker who my friend likes LOL!
Then before I went back to my office, I told myself to talk to them, and I did. I asked if they would like to know some of the signs and rachel*** said that they would like to just the basics for a start. I told them, no worries, I can show some here and there. They were obviously shy, which I knew.
*** Not the real name
