TIFU I can never step foot into my local theater again

M

So this all started last week. Here is some back story. Pretty girl, used to live next door and we grew up together being good friends and on/off again relationship. For whatever reason we stopped talking our sophomore year of high school (I still cant figure out why).

So I am at the theater two weekends ago, I see this girl we will call her amy. amy is working the ticket counter so when I see her I stop and talk for a second things were going all right, but we were both in a hurry so it got a little awkward at the end. On our way out I wanted to catch her again and say we should hang out you know catch back up. Unfortunately I never saw her again that night.

Here is were I made my first fu. I message her on fb. No response. Oh well I figured she doesn't want to talk to me still. A few days go by and I can't accept my fate. I convince myself that that's how she always was, never responding to texts or fb messages as kids. Fast forward a week. I am dying to see her. For whatever reason I thought that if I saw her again she would fall madly in love with me like it happens in the movies right? So after collaborating with my friend we go back last friday. What luck she is working again! I walk up and just casually say hi. I couldn't cough up the balls to talk to her and tell her how I felt.

So having like 15 minutes of commercials before the show starts my friend (I thought was joking said he would go tell her how i felt and then some) laughing I watched him walk down the isle to leave. I figured he was going to the bathroom or something because he's not one to do this. After about 5 long minutes I start getting nervous. I realized that he probably was talking to her so i frantically texted him ABORT ABORT!!! Too late he comes in with a crooked smile tells me that im screwed and should probably move to Africa. Not really knowing what he said, I finally grow a pair and go out to try and smooth things over with amy. She sees me walking towards her and starts hugging her friend. Crap I thought shes avoiding me. So I walk past her and go to the bathroom. After a few minutes of giving myself a pep talk I walk back out. Okay her friend is gone it's just me and her. As I start to get close she turns and walks into another movie. Damn I thought , she is avoiding me like the plague. So after a few more failed attempts of trying to confront her, but she ducked me every time. My friend gives me the brilliant idea of making absolutely sure she is alone by just cracking the door open and being sneaky. Genius I thought I can do this! Ten minutes later, its my time to shine. I crack the door open just enough to stick my face out you know like they do in scary movies and the killer has a jump scare. Well that's pretty much it. The second I stick my forehead and eyes out I make eye contact with her because she is looking directly down at me standing next to the door. I sheepishly retreat back to my seat and try to cut my losses.

As we are leaving I thought maybe I would bump into her and there would be some chance just to release the tension, Well I see her behind the counter. The second we make eye contact she drops like a bad habit and hides behind the counter. About 30 seconds later she pokes her head out with one of these looks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and then goes back down. I left, messaged her again to tell her I was sorry. Again no response, haven't talked/ seen her again. And quite frankly I don't want to.

TL;DR Went to the theater, saw a childhood friend that I am attracted to. Made myself look stupid. Shamed my existence.

edit: I can't grammar
