I’m in love with the girl who cut me at the salon

I recently got a haircut at my local salon and when the lady was cutting my hair she made an error, I was getting annoyed so I told her to pay attention to what she was doing and that I was really close to walking out and leaving. <br><br>Then she cut the entire back of my head off and was like, “I made a mistake so I’ll fix it”. I was embarrassed to say the least because I was already 2 hours late for my friends birthday party and I’m a really bad liar, so I just kept apologizing.<br><br>She was kind of flustered but still went to work, got it fixed and even cleaned the mess up, it looked great in the end. When I left, I realized I had her name tag and when I went back to the salon to return it, she saw me coming and waved me over. <br><br>We started talking and I was immediately smitten with her, she’s this gorgeous woman in her 40’s that’s not only incredibly smart but also talented. We talked about a lot of things, we’re from the same culture and have similar backgrounds, we’re both from the same part of the country.<br><br>We even talked about our jobs, she’s been a hairdresser for over 20 years and even got her masters in psychology. <br><br>I was completely swept up in the conversation, I even asked if she’d like to get coffee with me but she declined saying she’s too old and that she has kids. I still have her number, she’s been so nice to me and I really would like to see her outside of work.<br><br>I’m just a shy guy and I’m not very good with girls. I want to ask her out but I don’t know if she’s interested and I don’t want to ruin our friendship. <br><br>I’m not sure what to do or if I should just accept that I’m not going to see her outside of the salon.
