Goodby To You Romance

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

Today my 2 o'clock was running late so I decided to check out Fluff Ice (Atlantic Times Square plaza in Monterey Park). The best way to describe this place is: Class 302  meets PinkBerry. The 'fluff ice' isn't as yummy as Class 302's 'shaved snow' but it was still quite tasty. My cousin Tiffany owns a similar joint out in Dallas, TX called Sweet Mix -- they also serve delicious crepes and savory waffles -- a must try!

While I was seated and scarfing down my dessert, a young man walked in and approached the cashier with a bouquet of flowers. I thought he was a delivery boy, but then I noticed his hands were shaking as he handed them to her. I couldn't hear him speak but from his body language, I could tell he was nervous... wait a minute... he's not a delivery boy... those flowers are from him! (my Poker skills coming into play, ha!). She kept nodding her head and mouthing "No, I can't accept his!" but after a few tries she finally caved. He also tried giving her a box of chocolates but that didn't work... he tilted his head down and walked out the door without her number - FAIL. :-(

I actually thought that was a pretty sweet and BOLD gesture. 99.9% people who try to ask me out usually do it over Text Messaging or Facebook. Whatever happened to Face-to-Face or a Personal-Phone-Call? Are guys THAT scared of rejection? Or is the human race evolving into this Wall-E world? Whatever it is, I don't like it.

I hope that girl gives him a chance if he ever comes back.

Here's a short video from Wong Fu productions titled "Technology Ruins  Romance: Destiny" somewhat related to the topic...

Who else here is guilty of Facebook Stalking? :: raising my hand :: No Shame! LOL
