dear steak n shake boy

i think you are very very cute. i am aware that ours is a relationship that is short lived and, naysayers might nayingly say, superficial and based on absolutely nothing at all. however! i prefer to think of it as unconventional and quirky.

i am a bit enamored of the way you paused when i smiled at you. i also very much like that your shift ended and i got to see you in jeans and a tank. it was an unexpected step forward in our relationship, you see. i especially like the tattoo you have that curves from the crook of your elbow down towards your wrist. but mostly i wanna lick it. WAIT! this was supposed to be a respectful letter. i got ahead of myself, love. too much staring at your forearms; it must have been four whole split seconds. wait, does that expression mean two seconds? but i digress.

when you came back in with your friend and sat down to actually eat, we were on our way out. please tell me i didn't imagine you sneaking glances at me. to date, i can't be sure, as i was too busy sneaking glances at you and then pointedly looking away. in any case, darling, unexpected circumstances have driven us apart and will continue to do so. by circumstances i mean we finished dinner and had to go home.

as i'm trying to do one thing a day that scares me, maybe next time i will tell you how cute i think you are. i may also run away extremely fast afterwards, but these are the sorts of character flaws you will have to eventually accept if we are ever to work out, love.

in conclusion, i hope you do not have a girlfriend. i mean another girlfriend. yes. because that would be so disheartening, i fear i would never enjoy another orange freeze milkshake in much the same way again.
this could work, darling. i will see you as soon as possible. or, when i get another frisco melt craving, if we're being specific.

yours truly,
j
