You come into my Starbucks up in Northwest Austin all the time, and you are always pretty flirty with me and I think you are really good-lookin. You are always dressed up so well (tie and all), and you usually get just a venti coffee, but today (9/4) you got some other people in your office some drinks too. I also found out today, your name is Paul. I’m the guy that is usually running around like a crazy person, talking really loud, and laughing a lot, haha. Although I’m sure you would know who this is immediately if you read this. I’ve always thought you’re attractive, and it seems like you think the same of me, even my coworkers think you have a thing for me, haha. Anyway, if you see this feel free to email me and maybe we can do something, get a cup of coffee perhaps. Either way, I’m sure I’ll see you at the store tomorrow morning.

Oh, let me count how many things are wrong with this situation.

1. “I’m the guy that is usually running around like a crazy person”? Enough said.
2. He’s 23. Practically a full 12 years your junior. You know you have to start breaking up with him before you even go out with him.
3. He works at Starbucks. Why do you always like the help?
