(Knocking on door)

Hi, I'm your new neighbor! I just moved in next door and I wanted to introduce myself. I was going to bring over a plate of cookies, but then I realized I didn't have any sugar. So, I was wondering if I could borrow some?

-

Yes, borrow some sugar haha.

-

Well, my plan was to come over here and ask for some sugar, then go back home and make the cookies, THEN I would come back over here to... uh, introduce myself. Huh, you can really picture all the faults in that plan once it's said out loud.

-

Are you laughing at me, or with me? With this situation I wouldn't be mad if you were laughing at me haha.

-

Huh?? C-cute? Me, or the plan?

-

Me... well then, if you think I'm cute, you'll definitely think my cookies are!! Wait, not cute, you'll think they're good!! Unless you don't like cookies. Oh my goodness I didn't even think about possible allergies! I was just so excited to introduce myself and was thinking of ways to approach you and-

-

Oh, y-yeah, I wanted to meet you. Well, I wanted to meet all my neighbors (awkward laugh), but I saw you outside when I was moving in. You looked so... charming. So if I was going to introduce myself to anyone, I wanted it to be you. Does that make me sound strange?

-

Oh... strange in a good way?

-

(Flustered) OH, the best way? I don't know about that... but if you like strange, then I'm your gal! Well, not that I'm YOUR gal. I MEAN! Uh, it wouldn't be bad if I was yours- NOT that I am (awkward laugh) hahahaha. Maybe I should stop talking now.

-

Uh, go on as in leave? Or as in continue talking?

-

Oh I can definitely keep talking. I love to ramble, especially if a cutie is listening~ NOT that I think you're a cutie. WAIT, that came out wrong! Sorry, I'm apparently really bad with introductions. Especially because you are kind-of sort-of definitely a cutie, but you didn't hear that from me *wink*.

-

Oh, I did say wink out loud, didn't I? Welp, I've probably embarrassed myself enough for today. I'll just leave now and hide my face forever.

-

Or I can come inside! I mean, if you're inviting me in (awkward laugh, then deep breath). What I meant to say was, yes, I'd love to come inside.

-

Wow, your home has such a welcoming vibe. Or maybe it's your smile. So charming... so, I wanna say warm. A warm and welcoming smile.

-

Oh, yeah, I'd love to take a seat! Can I keep it, or? Just kidding! (Forced laugh) Get it? Because you said to take a seat, and I said.... Well, I asked if I can keep it?... I'm really bad at flirting. You don't have to be nice, you can tell me to leave if I'm being too awkward or annoying...

-

O-oh, you still think I'm c-cute? Either the stars have aligned in a way that led me to my perfect match, or you're just a really nice person. So again, you can tell me to leave. At this point I'm probably making myself look like a complete moron.

-

Oh, well if you're being honest and DEFINITELY think I'm, uh, c-cute, then I guess I should stay a bit longer~ Well, until you're tired of my rambling haha.

-

Wait, you want to know more about me? As in, I haven't made a complete fool of myself and you're actually interested in me? I mean! Haha, not interested as in you want to DATE me or anything! Just, uh, interested as in... uh, you're just curious about me? Yeah, let's... let's go with that.

-

Well, I guess I can start with my love for baking. Whenever I'm nervous or need an icebreaker I tend to start looking up recipes. Baking sweet desserts always seems to calm my nerves. Maybe it's because I know at the end of it I'll have a sweet treat haha.

-

I mean... I'm not saying I'm a GREAT chef or anything, but I probably wouldn't be considered an idiot sandwich or anything.... I can't believe I just said that. I don't know if I've brought this up, but I get kind-of sort-of DEFINITELY nervous around cuties~

-

Uh, s-sure you can sit closer to me! It's your home, so you should be comfortable! I mean, I HOPE you're comfortable. Or, I guess I should say I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable...

-

(Startled) OH, uh, I-I don't think you realize this, but you're holding my hand...

-

NO! I mean, (clears throat) no, of course I don't mind. Your hand feels... welcoming, like home in a way. Does that make sense?

-

(Sigh) I'm glad you agreed, I was starting to worry I was blowing my chances with you.

-

Yeah haha, believe it or not, but I've actually been trying to flirt with you this entire time. That's crazy, right? We just met, and I know this is extremely forward, but your presence is so... well, it feel safe, and warm. Do you know what I mean?

-

Oh that's a relief. I was starting to think this feeling was one-sided. I hope this means you'll enjoy having me as a neighbor.

-

Good, because the feeling is obviously mutual... So... gonna lend me some sugar?~

-

Oh, uh, yeah. Baking sugar. Sugar I need for, uh, baking cookies haha. That's totally what I meant.

-

Yeahhh, because obviously I was still talking about the cookies I wanted to make for you. Totally not trying to be flirty and ask for another type of sugar.

-

OH! Uh, I was kidding! I mean, I'm sure your "sugar" is amazing (dreamily sigh). Uh, but, I was just... being a dork? I guess I need to practice how to flirt better if I want to turn this meeting into something more in the future.

-

Well... do you believe in love at first sight? If not, maybe live at first bite~ Uh, bite of a cookie that is! (Awkward laugh) Umm, anyways, about that sugar?

-

Yeah, actual sugar this time. If you have any that is! If not, I can just run to the store.

-

Great, thank you so much-

-

Huh?

-

O-oh, of course! I mean, I'd love to learn more about you... So, uh, yeah, of course you can come over and help me bake some cookies! It'll be fun, and we can talk more about the various types of sugar while I learn how to flirt in a way that's charming. You know, instead of whatever I've been doing.

-

Sounds good! Why don't you go ahead and get the sugar, and I'll just wait by the door. Oh! And thank you for giving me a chance and wanting to get to know me, I promise I become less dorky the more you get to know me haha. Well, I hope so anyways.
