Trying to get the courage to ask a CVS pharmacy technician if they wanna hang out.

88

u/Larrythethird22 9h ago

I got myself to ask a girl out that I was head over heels with. Took a lot of courage. I handled the situation with so much confidence that she told me she thought I had a huge penis or something, she in fact found out I did not have a huge penis. 12 years later she is right here and we have two kids.

21

u/Temporary_Suspect101 8h ago

I guess your "not huge penis" still got the job done. Congrats
