How to Date a Youtuber

Dan's P.O.V

The smell of new comic books flood my senses as me and Phil enter the corner street comic book store in East London. Phil makes his way to the new limited edition Game of Thrones sword, and I check my phone for the time. The door opens behind me and a young girl brushes past me and heads towards the Adventure Time section. I can't help but stare at her, with long thick dark brown hair that falls just to her waist and the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen. Her black boots shimmer under the cheap fluorescent light. I am transfixed in place. The girl looks up and I feel all the more awkward, hoping I don't inappropriately wink. Too late. I get a case of nerves and wink at her. Screw my unconditional awkward self. But instead of looking at me like I was on crack, the unbelievable happens. She giggles and bites her lip. All I can do is smile like the idiot I am. The girl makes her way towards me, hair flopping around her shoulders. I dread conversation but I'm excited she seems interested in me. She seems a couple of years younger than me, but she must be at least 18. I hope.

"Hi, you're Dan Howell right?" she asks and I cringe. Shit. She's seen me in my ridiculous state on YouTube.

" The one and only," I say and she smiles, perfect teeth gleaming.

" You are too cool! I watch your videos and it's good to see someone has the same humor as me!"

At least she doesn't think I'm a total retard. I see Phil look over at me and do a thumbs up sign.

"Well I'm glad to hear it," I say, and stare at my feet nervously.

She suddenly seems uncomfortable and I take this as a bad sign.

"Well me and Phil were going to head home soon but if you want to catch up sometime I can give you my number?"

Smooth.

NOT

A normal person would deliver that with charisma but I asked for beautiful girls's number like a drunken llama.

Her eyes widen and gets out her phone.

"Oh sure I'll add you! What's your number?"

I tell her my number and she smiles.

"Well I should probably grab Phil so I'll see you later uh-"

"Jess, Jess Lee"

I wave goodbye and exit, thanking the universe for sending me to the comic book store today.
