Spoke to a barmaid

There's a bar I like. I like chatting to a certain barmaid, I like her looks and personality and the bar itself is nice.
I was in today, my favourite music artist, Sheryl Crow was playing on the jukebox, I chatted to her about Sheryl Crow and seeing concerts in general. I know aspies can talk too much on a specific subject, I hope I didn't talk about Sheryl Crow too much.
 
I'm sure you'll be fine. It's good to have interactions with people. Try not to load up on artificial guilt.

you'll know if they are interested they'll get excitable if not they start 2 become very still
 
The good thing is, if she was having a bad time or was bored with Cheryl Crow she could have just made excuses about "work to do". Sounds like you passes just fine!
 
When I used to go to a specific nightclub a lot before Covid, I always chatted with a very friendly bartender and he always knew what drink I wanted, and that I wanted it with less alcohol.
He gave me a hug and a free drink on my 25th birthday :)
 
I still have that same social anxiety. With me it's two extremes: Either I seem like I'm not interested, or I'm way too interested.

At the end of the day, the only thing you can do is just be yourself. You're a Sheryl Crow fan, so I already know that you're all right.

Whenever anyone asks me what I prefer to be called I always reply with, "Just don't call me Bill, Billy, or Mac, or Buddy."
