Saying the Right Thing

"My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity." George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Ah, how it worked for me. Saying the right thing is hard right? Well yeah. You don't want someone to say "My hamster just died" and then reply with "It's just a hamster" that's just not polite. I always have trouble finding the right thing to say. Now, if you have rad my two previous posts, your thinking "He's talking about that girl" and you would be correct. Because it is true. I still can't find the right thing to say to her. I asked her out, like I wanted to, but not how I wanted to. I wanted it to be perfect. Instead I ask her out right before a test. That's one of the times where I was like "I just said that?" but I knew I had to, otherwise I might have wound up seeing her asked out by someone else then having a heavy heart because I didn't have the courage to ask her. But I guess that moment was the moment. Things happen for a reason, right?

I think it was the right thing for me to do. Even if we haven't really talked since...Yeah, I know, sad. But, I am thinking again. Thinking again of what to say to her, I bet it will come out exactly how the first time came out. Hopefully this doesn't turn into the one episode of "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" where Danny asks Jordan out many times and each time she said no, until the time where she gave him a note in a magic trick that she was crazy about him.

But, I guess there is one good sign. She never said no. I believe her exact words were "Are you serious" then I said "Yes" the she said "I don't know" and then I think I said something like "That didn't come out the way I planned" then we laughed and it got awkward...You don't need my life story, do you? I didn't think so.

So, to the point. Even if you do think about what you are going to say, it'll come out with utmost frivolity. Fancy words, eh?
