Hey, it's Marielle.
I have this friend who's really good at asking people out.
We met when we were both working at Marketplace.
One time he was sitting at a restaurant facing the street and he saw a guy outside who he thought was cute.
He was speaking on the phone and just like we caught eyes as he walked by.
And he was kind of slowly meandering in the corner.
So I was like, OK, maybe there is mutual interest here.
So my friend, Dylan Mietinen, opened up a Google Doc on his phone,
turned the font size all the way up,
typed out his number, held it to the window, and then mouthed, like, text me, pointing at the phone.
And he did.
I don't think, if I recall correctly, it didn't really go anywhere after that.
But it was a scrappy sort of idea and I do think that in certain contexts,
like, fortune favors the bold.
