Typology: A Short Story

Ok, so about a month ago I asked Taylor out (since there's a lot of people named Taylor, the one who works with you). She said sure but that she was pretty busy, however I did get her number and sent her a text so she had mine. Now, me being socially fluent in aphasia, especially when I like someone, sent her a text two days later asking if she was busy on the weekend (I sent this on a Friday night too... I hate me sometimes). I was kind of emotional at the time and I definitely wasn't thinking straight... It's also because I was kind of scared of trying to actually have a text conversation with her as I wanted a chance to actually see her and spend time with her in order to get over my newly found fear of being around her... Like attraction …show more content…
Which wasn't the greatest and I kind of don't like some of what I said, but it was sincere and I really did feel bad. The other problem was that the apology message was kind of long so my phone sent it as a multimedia message which I know people don't always get when I send them (wish I remembered that before sending it). So now I don't know for sure if she even got that and I never got a response from her. Which is another issue because my phone was also having issues receiving texts around this time (yes my luck is literally that bad... this is why I need to laugh at myself... a lot). So at this point I didn't know if I should say anything or what, and ended up not doing anything for almost a week. Then when my friend Davin, who was back from university for thanksgiving, said I should try to add her on Facebook and explain all of this (better than all of the joking advice my other friends gave me... don't ask). I wasn't sure if that was a good idea, but we were drinking that night, and he ended up taking my phone and adding her; I didn't stop him though so that's my …show more content…
To make matters worse, my cat, Napoliene, disappeared outside over a week ago now so I'm extremely sad about that because she's probably gone forever, and having both of these things weighing on my mind is really bothering me... Which is why I'm asking you for advice now because I don't want to make things worse, and I don't want to keep delaying this because that's also probably making it worse. I could even be overthinking everything, I tend to do that, but I just don't know what to say or do at this point. Heck, asking you this could be a bad idea. But, I really do like her, and I just want a chance to get to know her better because she seems pretty cool (I'm really regretting not trying the classic, “hey, how you doing” text at this point). So, I don't know, you know her better than me, any
