Dear Past Stupid Mistakes
When giving your waiter your number I suggest you stick with the more traditional forms in doing so: write it out and hand it to him, leave it on the table, ask for his or hell, just forget about it and don’t bother. If by chance these methods seem to be too dull for you, you may attempt walking up to him and slipping your number written on a piece of paper down the front of his pants or apron.
A word of advice on this approach from the unfortunately experienced: do not let your hand get stuck. It is embarrassing. It will be awkward. He will laugh. And others will see. Surely unforgettable.
If however your hand does get stuck, as it did to me, be sure to choose your timing wisely and not have your family present…unlike I did. All in all, he’s at least guaranteed to text you.
On the plus side? I’ve done too many embarrassing things for this to have had actually embarrassed me. On the downside? I’ve done too many embarrassing things for this to have had actually embarrassed me.
