But unfortunately over these past months, I've formed a bit of a crush on the boys that work in the new coffee place that resides in my shopping centre.
Now while I love coffee, it's not something I drink on the daily. I only have it when I go out with friends to catch-up.
Around October of last year, a new place moved into the shopping centre where I pretty much live. It's close to our house and...well you know the story - it's our life and it's our shopping centre - naw!
It was the perfect place to catch-up with friends. But I admit, I wasn't too excited about moving from our old place.
That was until I saw the baristas. They. Are. Gorgeous.
When I walked in I understood why be friend wanted us to go there.

Fast forward to today - that's around eight months - the closest conversation I have had with one of the guys there was my order and a 'thank you'.
My friend however, talks to them all the time - she has no problem striking up conversations, asking them questions, making them smile and laugh.
I stand there and look like a weird gnome - it's embarrassing.
Despite me not knowing them - at all - I still think that one of them (I don't know which one...yet) would make a great boyfriend for me.
Just need to start making conversations with them first.
And on Thursday, I tried.
My friend and I went into the cafe after the rush, when there was hardly anybody in there. After my friend sat down, I stayed talking to a guy about....cronuts.
You know, the crosseint mixed with a doughnut - or something like that.
It went well - I managed to have a conversation without looking like a total idiot.
I just have to do it again now....wish me luck!
