Today after I finished my 12h shift I went to the mcdonald to eat while watching a video on my phone just chilling before going back home and call my father to wish him happy birthday. I sit down and notice there isnt an outlet at that table and I needed to charge my phone.

I go to the next table and a girl my age was facing me, sitting down at another table. I see she says something but I cant hear with headphones. I take them out and ask her what she said.

"If you want you can come and eat with me"

I suddenly feel like frozen inside.

"No I just came at this table to charge my phone"

She insists: "Oh its okay, you know its nicer to eat together"

"Yes okay"

and then she tells me she doesnt have mcdonalds in the region she comes from

I mumble a "Ah okay" and sits down facing the same way as her so we are not face to face.

I call my father and from the corner of my eye I see her leave.

I feel like such a dick, this is only the 2nd time this ever happened in my entire life. Usually girls dont do the first step towards me(even for friendship) and now im telling myself that it's never going to happen again ever, i blew it that was probably my only chance to meet someone.

And also I put myself in her shoes, having the courage to ask a stranger is remarkable. And then being rejected... I probably hurt her.. I acted like a weirdo loser.

I wish I could go back in time and be cool, seize the moment... well fuck my life..

Am I an asshole?
