Well in high school I probably could not have been more shy. So in high school there was this girl I liked. We had fun together and was even one of the few people I've ever been able to talk on the phone with for more than 5 minutes (I hate phones).
Anyways, so we were on the way back from a football away game (we were both in the marching band) and we were sharing a seat. I was sitting against the window and she was leaning against me with my arm around her.
I decided I was going to finally get the courage to ask her out even though she knew I liked her and I knew she liked me but since I was uber shy I was still nervous.
So I say her name and get ready to ask her out and then freeze and panic. I look out the bus window and see a gas station and then I say:
"Don't you hate the rising prices of gas?"
And then don't say another word the whole trip.
