When I was in college, I was pretty into a girl, but was too nervous to ask her out. I'm also famously oblivious.
A few months into this, she texts me saying she needs someone to peer review a paper, and wants me to come over to her place the next night around 10. She also specifically says her roommate will he out and she knows neither of us are seeing anyone, so we'll both be free to meet up.
So I go over there, and she comes out wearing yoga pants and a sports bra. I figure she's wanting to go to bed pretty soon.
She asks if I want a drink, and I ask for some water..She grabs it for me and sits next to me on the couch, and I lean in and.... ask for the paper.
She's like, "Oh, yeah." And she goes and prints it out and brings it to me.
It was pretty rough, and I peer-reviewed the shit out of it. I show her a bunch of mistakes and stuff, tell her she has some work to do, and leave.
I didn't realize how much of a seemingly-cruel dumbass I was for like a year.
tell me this has a good end and you guys are together now
