I went to the corner store last night

I saw the same cashier that is there every night, he is kind of cute, indian, and wears sweat pants to work every day. He has these earrings and mannerism that just made me feel like he was probably gay or something. I had no proof but I just felt it. And the way he says goodbye to me and thank you I just felt like there was something there. I bought my things and said thank you and walked out back to my car. I said "you know what? No. If straight people can just ask out anyone so can I. This is a free tolerant country." I marched back in there "hey this is a weird question" "Yeah, what's up?" "I was wondering if I could have your number?" *Looks around* "Like my number?" "Yeah I was just thinking you were cute and thought I'd shoot my shot." He chuckled nervously. I thought, oh fuck, he is straight. "Uhh.." I gave him an escape route, "Oh you don't swing that way ahha?" "N-no, I- it's" Oh so you do, you just think I'm ugly, got it. "No" He finally said. I sighed. "Okay, just thought I would try. Have a good day." I can no longer go buy my cat food at that corner store now smh.
