I'm not approaching this young woman I've been writing about for social reasons. She's a barista at a coffee shop I patronize. The baristas at Thunderbird Coffee on Koenig Lane were all horrible to me when I approached quite a few of them for social reasons in the early 2010's. This girl who works at this coffee shop I patronize now shouldn't blame me for my decision to not approach her for social reasons. She should blame all of those baristas at Thunderbird Coffee on Koenig, and before them, all of those baristas at Pacha Coffee on Burnet Road in the mid-2000's.
By the time I started going to the Thunderbird Coffee on Manor Road in the early 2020's, I'd sworn off of the baristas to such an extent that I never approached any female employee at the Manor location for social reasons for the entire time I went there. I'm really loathe to look at female employees of coffee shops or restaurants as my own personal dating pool, because that just never, ever worked out.
Don't get me wrong. I really LIKE this young woman who has been flirting with me quite a bit these past several weeks, but, you know, I thought I had a pretty good chance with all of those girls at that Thunderbird on Koenig until they all shot me down. I now see all of my OPPORTUNITIES in the context of what would happen if I DON'T do this or I DON'T do that. I really get to challenge my own beliefs about whether or not taking such a course of action in regards to this young woman at this coffee shop will lead to an unfulfilled life. Will it make me less of a man to let this whole situation go? Will she and the other employees at the coffee shop not like me anymore if I just refuse to ask her for a date or contact information, such as a social media handle? Anyhoo, that's the road I see opening up to me now. The path of my buddha.
