Last night I figured, why not test some Virgo love tips myself? Been single for months, nothing to lose. So this morning I set out to follow those zodiac suggestions.
First, the “self-care” step
Woke up early and actually ironed my shirt – haven’t done that since job interviews last year. Spent 20 minutes fixing my messy hair with way too much gel. Grabbed that “lucky” blue tie my mom gave me ages ago, even though I thought it looked stupid.
The awkward morning part
Stopped at Bev’s Coffee Spot on Elm Street instead of my regular gas station brew. Saw Lisa from accounting in line – we usually just nod at meetings. Remembered the tip about “initiating genuine compliments,” so I blurted out “Your plant photos on Slack are cool.” She looked shocked but smiled. We actually chatted about her cactus collection for five minutes!
Lunchtime experiment
Went to the park alone with my sad sandwich. Saw Jenny walking her bulldog near the fountain. Virgo advice says “offer help to create connection,” so I asked if she needed water for the dog. Ended up sharing my water bottle (gross, I know) while that slobbery mutt drank. Got her laughing when I told the story of my roommate’s goldfish funeral.
Nighttime action
Scrapped my usual pizza-and-Netflix plan. Put on that stiff button-down again and hit the new jazz bar downtown. Approached the first person I saw sitting alone – bald guy about 60. Virgo rules say “romantic opportunities hide in unlikely places.” Turned out he owns three bookstores! We talked Tolkien for an hour.
Final surprise: As I left, bumped into Lisa again at the coat check. She said “Fancy seeing you twice today!” We’re grabbing tacos Tuesday. Not sure if cosmic forces or just dumb luck, but first date in six months!
