I was managing a movie theater and this girl who I had known from a few years previously at another job came in with another girl. I think it was her cousin...

Anyway, I'd had a crush on this girl at the previous job, but I was her boss so I never did anything. Now that we weren't working together I was like, maybe this is my chance! I ask her what movie she's going to and tell her to have fun. I then tell my head usher to let me know when the movie gets out. I didn't tell him why.

Movie gets out, and I go to the theater to catch her and see if I can ask her out. She walks out and I'm like "Hey! Shelby! Did you like the movie?" At that moment the head usher blurted out "Oh, you were wanting us to let you know when this got out so that you could talk to her!"

I went WHITE. Later, he told me "Dude, that's what you're supposed to do! It is an ice breaker!"

Yeah, it didn't work. She took off with her friend. I was pissed.
