Okay, so I’ve been kinda crushing on this Aquarius woman at my local coffee shop. You know, the one with the quirky glasses and always reading some obscure book? Yeah, her. I decided I needed to figure out if she was into me too, so I started my little “operation,” which was less scientific and more like a series of awkward attempts.
Phase 1: Observation (aka Stalker-Lite Mode)
First, I just watched her. Not in a creepy way, I swear! Just, you know, noticing things. Aquarius women are supposed to be independent and a bit aloof, so I was looking for subtle signs. I noticed she always sat in the same corner booth, usually with a friend, but sometimes alone.
- She laughed a lot at her friends’ jokes, like really laughed, not just polite chuckles.
- She seemed super engaged when talking about… well, I couldn’t hear, but it involved a lot of hand gestures.
- She’d occasionally glance around the coffee shop, and a few times, our eyes met. It was brief, but… something?
Phase 2: Accidental Encounters (aka Making it Look Natural)
Next, I tried to engineer some “casual” run-ins. I started going to the coffee shop more often (my caffeine intake skyrocketed). I’d “accidentally” bump into her while getting sugar, or pretend to be looking at the same book on the community shelf. One time, I even dropped my keys near her table. Smooth, I know.
Her reactions were… mixed. Sometimes she’d smile and say “hi,” other times she’d just nod and go back to her book. It was hard to read!
Phase 3: The Conversation Starter (aka The Moment of Truth)
I knew I had to actually talk to her. So, one day, I gathered my courage (and about five shots of espresso) and walked over to her table when she was alone. I used the oldest trick in the book: “I’ve seen you reading here a lot, what are you reading?”
She looked up, a bit surprised, but then she smiled. And not just a polite smile, a genuine one. She showed me the book (something about astrophysics, way over my head) and we actually started chatting. She was funny, intelligent, and surprisingly open. We talked about books, the ridiculousness of horoscopes (ironic, I know), and our shared love for bad reality TV.
Phase 4: The Subtle Signs (aka Deciphering the Aquarius Code)
During our conversation, I tried to pay attention to her body language and how she was interacting with me. I noticed:
- She was making eye contact, and not just fleeting glances.
- She was leaning in slightly when I spoke.
- She was asking me questions about myself, and actually seemed interested in my answers.
- She teased me a bit, which I took as a good sign (maybe?).
- She mentioned she comes every wednsday.
Phase 5: The Follow-Up (aka Not Messing It Up… Hopefully)
At the end of our conversation, I chickened out on asking for her number directly. Instead, I said something lame like, “It was really nice talking to you, maybe I’ll see you around.”
She smiled and said, “Yeah, I’m usually here on Wednesdays.” Which, I took as a HUGE win. It’s not a date, but it’s an invitation to see her again. Next Wednesday, I’ll go back, I’m going to be brave, and I’m going to ask for her number. Wish me luck!
So, does she like me? I’m still not 100% sure, but the signs are definitely pointing in the right direction. This whole thing has been a rollercoaster of overthinking and awkward moments, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
