it would be much more effective to get a blow up doll, and to write the waitress's name across the chest of the doll, then go to the restaurant and stand at the window, when she sees him, he should point to her, then point to the doll and start making out with the doll. She'll come running outside to get in on the action ;)

If she was avoiding me, she would have answered the phone when i dialed *67.

I think her phone is fux0red up.


and my deepest fear is that she gave me her # to not disappoint me. I don't think that's the case though.

No. *67 is a farce... she knows you were calling her. Believe me, I speak from experience.

1. You called too many times. Doesn't matter if she knows it's you or not. You called too many times.

2. Asking for the number of anyone who is serving you, imho, will definitely get you a number. However, that is zero indication as to whether she really likes you or not. I suspect this has to do with the already established relationship: you are the customer and she is suppose to please you. If you ask for her number you'll get it but only because she is still playing the role of the server.

3. I speculate too much.

she didnt have to give me anything. She approached me more than once. She was a hostess. I asked for her # as I was walking out.

I eat there a lot. Everytime I've been there she came up talking to me. She didn't do that to other guys (some of which were what girls would consider 'attractive') only me.

I was with a girl, who made a comment about how she was flirting with me.

I now *67 is lame. it works though, and she still didn't answer,


I know it was fvcking lame of me to call so much. jesus.


Now that the damage has been done, how to fix it?

Alright, I'll give you something useful, rather than just calling you a stalker (you already know you're a stalker anyway).
The next afternoon I called.
That was your first mistake. Many (mostly women who say "I don't play games like that" even though they do) will say BS, but you don't call the next day. Sit on the number for 3-4 days. Why?

So she doesn't think you're a stalker. Duh.
Should I go back to the restaurant and talk to her or just drop it all altogether..?
By all means, go back to the restaurant - assuming that you want to get your stalking career off to a great start with a big fat restraining order.

Cut your losses - chalk it up to experience.

Right now, you are borderline weird. Go back to "talk to her" and you are full blown f-d up.

You don't.

Let her call you back. If she does.

It doesn't mean you can't go back and eat there, but stop the calls.

You probably ought to go back to the restaurant right NOW!! And again in a few hours to ask if she been in yet. Check in the morning too, maybe she's working that shift now. In fact, check at least once on EVERY shift. Ask the other servers as well, frequently. And ask more than one to make sure they all give you the same story.

Try leaving written messages for her at work as well. If she dosen't get back to you within one or two more days, talk to her manager and ask what the problem is. You are a paying customer after all.

-------------------

Did you ask for her number before or after you tipped her?

If before, then she gave you some fake @$$ # just so she didn't have to embarass you right before tipped her out!

If after, you didn't tip nearly enough! Let it go, do better next time!

Keep in mind that voice mail doesn't always get through right away. My parents' cells don't give their voice mail for a day or two after they receive it sometimes. I don't get mine for a few hours.

I don't know how well *67 works, but I imagine there are ways around it. Anyways, calling 3 times in 3 days is quite a bit, and she probably is busy working since it is the middle of the week now.

Why don't you wait a while and go back to the restaurant on your normal schedule, since it seems like you eat there quite often. If she remembers and talks to you, great, take it from there. If she doesn't and treats you like she always has, forget about it. I wouldn't bring it up to her though, that would probably put everyone in an uncomfortable situation.

Whatever chance you had before is now gone...

You just demonstrated to her that you are totally possessive and obsessive...

I'm not a stalker, I'm most certainly not possesive, OR obsessive. I simply do not usually ASK girls for their numbers, I don't have any issues with needing to do that. All the girls I call have approached me, and call me, and I return the call. Just this once I was trying to show someone that . I don't fvcking know..

I wanted to show her I was interested. I didn't want to seem like some asshole that kind of comes around to calling when they feel like it. Jesus Christ.

Yea, Don't ever do that again. She didn't return your call, I think theres a reason behind it.
