UPDATE: I’m a waitress and I (F24) have a HUGE crush on a regular customer. Help?
A Reddit user shared an exciting update about her crush on a regular customer at the restaurant where she works as a waitress. After taking some advice from the community, she made a bold move, and it paid off in the sweetest way. Read on to find out how a breakfast meetup turned into an upcoming date!
‘ (UPDATE) I’m a waitress and I (F24) have a HUGE crush on a regular customer. Help?’
I have good news! As I mentioned in my original post, I normally work Friday mornings and he comes in for breakfast at the same time every Friday. Well, I had the day off and decided to show up for breakfast at the same time as him. It worked out perfectly!
I sat down in the area where he always sits and waited. About 10 minutes later, he walked in the door and saw me sitting down ordering breakfast. He came up to me and looked a little puzzled because I wasn’t wearing my uniform. He asked if I had the day off and I said yes. He said, “That sucks, you’re my favorite waitress!”
I also did my hair and put on some cute clothes that morning and he noticed because he complimented me and said I looked, “really pretty.” I could feel my face getting hot. I probably turned 10 shades of red. lol.
Next thing I know, he asked if he could sit at my table with me! I was so nervous. Guys never give me butterflies but he gives them to me all the time. But I acted totally normal and tried not to be a d**k. haha!
Normally, I’m very shy around him but he made me feel comfortable and was super easy to talk to. We sat and talked for awhile before our breakfast came. It was so much fun. My manager was the one waiting on us, which she NEVER does but she’s been encouraging me to make a move on him for quite awhile. She was so happy for me!
Anyway, I felt like he was giving me signals the entire time, which made me a lot more confident. So I finally worked up the courage and asked if he’d like to hang out some time and he agreed! We swapped numbers and he’s been texting/flirting with me a few times a day ever since!
Since we’ve been texting, I’ve learned that we both enjoy hiking, so I suggested that we go hiking and check out an old lighthouse, which isn’t too far from where we live. He just moved here, so he’s never seen it before. (We live on the great lakes, Northern Michigan.) So that’s what we’re planning on doing this weekend!
When we were texting last night, he mentioned that he’d like to go to this fall festival, which is coming up in a couple of weeks and wanted to know if I’d go with him. So I playfully said, “Are you asking me out on a date? hehe” and he said, “Yes.. Will you please go with me? :)” I’m so excited!!!
Thank you all for your help on my original post! You guys gave me a ton of great advice. I can’t believe how easy this whole thing was. Now I see what men have to go through when it comes to asking women out! Anyway, thank you Reddit!
Tl;Dr: Success! We’re hanging out and going out on a date!
Here’s what the community had to contribute:
[Reddit User] − I still remember the butterflies the day I finally asked my pretty waitress for her phone number and she rolled her eyes and laughed and said “finally!” Still have the blank ticket she wrote it on and a million happy memories that followed. Best of luck, OP, your story warms the cockles of this heart. Enjoy your dates and may they be the first of many.
CoomassieBlue − YAY! Thanks for the update. Enjoy what will hopefully be only the first of many dates for you two. 🙂
ventriac − I’ve been waiting for this one! Such awesome news, happy for you both.
ShirleyFunke482 − Northern Michigan is so beautiful right now! What area are you in? It’s perfect fall date weather.
pizza143 − You are too cute. I’m happy it worked out so well 🙂 Have fun!!!
[Reddit User] − Awesome! :). Thanks for the update.
dinosaur_train − Oh how fun! After a while, when you are completely together, you’ll be lying in bed and he’ll confess he’s been coming in to see you forever… these are the sweet moments in life, enjoy!
Parrk − Remember that time he fully intimidated the old man who was mean to you?. I knew then that it was love. I rarely intimidate old men, but when I do, it’s to impress women. **women love the whole “hey look I can torment the infirm” thing! ;p
Ninjaforhire − Hey everyone! This is how you do it! Should I ask him or her out? Damn right you should. Good for you.
V3r1ty − Congratulations!! Thanks for the update. 😀
What do you think of her approach? Was showing up at the diner on her day off a clever move, or would you have done something different? Have you ever had a crush on a regular customer? Share your thoughts and love stories in the comments below!
