GALentines! I should have asked her out!

Today was Valentine's day. I needed to change my car's battery; so, I went to Walmart. He was not sure that the problem was caused by the battery or not. I asked him to change it anyway. Everything seems fine after this.



ABG members had an informal valentine's celebration for singles today. I was going to go there, but since I knew that Luna won't come today, I didn't go there. Today was the day that I could know if Luna's boyfriend really likes her or not.

I was in my office grading papers that a Chinese girl showed up. She was my classmate the previous semester. She was the only Chinese girl who I was kind of interested to get to know her. I started talking to her. We had a long conversation. We talked about her classes, my project, my TA jobs, her TA jobs,... It was her last semester, and she was expecting to get a full-time job offer from a university.

...
Me: "Are you from China?"
She: "Yes, I am."
Me: "I thought that you were from Korea."
She: "Why?"
Me: "I had this rule for myself, a cute Chinese is a Korean! But it seems that you are an exception."
She just laughed. She couldn't say anything else.
...

She stayed longer than I expected. I don't know if she expected me to ask her out or not. I was thinking of doing this during our conversation. "If we go out tonight, she may expect me to kiss her after that or go to her place or my place and sleep together, and I am not this type of boy." I thought to myself. In fact, it was the only reason that I hadn't asked her out tonight.
Before she leaves the room she asked, "When are you going to leave?"
Me: "I have so many papers to grade. I should stay here to finish it."
She: "But it is Friday night."
Me: "It is Friday night, I know. What can I do? It is Valentine's day, but what can I do?"
And she left the room.

When she left me, I had this feeling that I should go after her, and ask her out. She could be my valentine, and she was the only person at that time that I was interested to be with her tonight. She probably could come with me because it was Valentines, and it could be a life-changing event. I had all these things in my mind, but I didn't do that. Maybe I had this in the back of my mind that it was not fair that Taylor be alone and I go out with another girl.

Jeeraj came to my office a few minutes later. He invited me to a Valentine's party at the university. I finished my job in an hour, and I went to that party with Jeeraj. It was, however, very boring. They had only Indian music. They were all Indian students. Two girls asked us the address of that event, and they joined it later, but we didn't want to be with them.

I invited Jeeraj to go out. We met another friend, who was with me in that Hookah night, in our way to the parking lot, and he joined us. We went to a Mediterranean restaurant.


I ordered something that was new, and it was kind of weird, but I liked it. I forgot its name.


It has been a year or more that I hadn't had a sausage sandwich. So, I also ordered a sandwich.


And we also got some Baklava.


I was thinking of her the whole night and even before sleeping. I could buy her flowers from Walmart and we could go to the same restaurant together. We might find something to talk about it there. I really regretted that I didn't do that.
