Last semester when I was a regular at karaoke night, I used to see this girl there who I always thought was pretty. We were in the finals together and I also saw her elsewhere on campus from time to time, always alone, but I'd never taken the initiative to speak to her except for one time shortly after Halloween when I told her that I thought she should have won the costume contest (she built her own iPod costume).
At dinner after Aikido this past Thursday though, I saw her in the dining hall, alone as usual and mentioned to my friend that I thought she was pretty. He recognized her from his Art History class and told me that she's very shy, so he asked one of our female friends from the same class to invite her to sit with us. She ended up sitting at the end of the table at first, but then moved next to me and later ate some dessert off my fork. She was pretty shy and quiet, but pretty funny too. When my friend mentioned playing guitar, she told us that she wanted to take Guitar Hero lessons.
After dinner, she said she needed to go back to her room to study, but I invited her to play videogames instead and she played Tekken 5 with us until 2:00 AM. The next day, her twin sister visited and both of them played videogames with us until 2:00 AM again.
I don't expect to start dating her though, because I'm going to graduate in two weeks, but I'll still try to spend as much time with her as I can until then. It really sucks though, because even though I've only known her for four days, I already like her more than most girls and I'm usually not the type of guy who becomes interested that quickly. She's different from a lot of them though because I don't know many other women who like videogames or appreciate music the way she does. She also dresses tastefully, seems very innocent, has a genuinely sweet personality and I like her singing voice.
Here's a picture of her.
EDIT: Haha, I just noticed that she looks vaguely like Amy Reid in this picture. So much for seeming innocent
