So I met this Swedish woman for the 3rd time today but still couldn't ask her Instagram or number. Was I being a coward?
So again in this Cafe in Indiranagar area of our city Bangalore in India which is often called the hipster part of our city, I happened to bump into this expat woman from Sweden again working in this city now. We already talked twice before this in Cafes within Indiranagar itself like 2 months ago and all the time she was warm and friendly. Today I talked to her again. I didn't notice at first that the table next to her table was empty and sat on another farther away table. So I had to approach her at her table and said her Hi. She smiled and said "Hi we have already talked before. How are you doing?" Yeah she immediately recognised me. I said I am good and asked her how are you. She is saying she is doing great and said good to meet you again. I said same to you and then said I forgot her name and asked it again and she said hers and she said she forgot mine as well and asked mine and I said my name again.
We had a bit of a friendly conversation but my coffee has come so I ended it with a handshake saying okay have a great day and she said the same. But yeah this was the third time we met and I still didn't ask her number or Instagram. I am 25 and I wonder whether it was cowardly of me to chicken out when it comes to asking that. But overall it felt great that she recognized me and was so damn friendly and it felt better than the pure cold approaches as we are no longer full strangers anymore.
Other than her, I also had a conversation with this tall German woman in 1MG mall in Trinity area of our city and she is a flight attendant. She is quite tall tho even a bit taller than me who is 176-177 cm and I am above average in India. She was so friendly too and it felt great talking to a flight attendant like that. It was brief tho but great. Then in Smoor Cafe of Lavelle Road, I talked with this African woman from Ghana. It was another great interaction. She basically came to Bangalore for attending a friend's wedding and is going back to Ghana tomorrow. We had a conversation. I asked her how she found the city so far. She said it's lovely. I said I would love to have a big Africa tour some day and she said yes you should visit it and you will love it. I even asked her what's the most popular dish in Ghana and she answered it's the Jollof rice and I answered oh wow I would love to eat it. Then I ended the conversation saying okay have a great day it was nice meeting you and she said the same to me.
