Ticketted. Its A Funny Story. Intentional Accident
I got ticketed for a slight bump and its a funny story.
In one of my university courses, there was this girl I had a crush on and she was just so cute and seemed so nice, like literally so kind and fun. I have barely spoken to her before and I'm kind of shy and don't have many friends and find it hard to socialize but I'm a nice person. I've only had one girlfriend before for a short time years ago. When I saw this girl I really wanted to ask her on a date but didn't have the guts. We somehow ended up getting the same internship job and I was determined to get to know her. But unfortunately we were assigned jobs in different departments and I nearly never see her. However often when leaving work I'd see her leaving usually just ahead of me.
I had no opportunity and was also shy to ask for her number and get to know her. I didn't want to seem weird. So what did I do? (You must have guessed), when I saw her leaving I planned my exit such that I'd be following her car just as we were leaving. So I followed her and when she stopped at a red light, I intentionally bumped into her car. (I hesitated a lot to do this and I can't imagine how I did such a thing )
She was truly very nice and she said she was sorry for stopping to abruptly! I was feeling so happy out of this as I got to know her and got her contact details. But to ruin things a cop shows up and gives me a following too closely ticket.
Is there any chance of having it reduced or something? What option should I take?
In case you are wondering about the rest of the story, I used it as an opportunity to get to know her, chat after work etc, explain that I'm pretty shy etc and eventually asked her on a date and she said yes . I'm really pleased as she is really amazing. I'm feeling guilt for how I got to know her though and I really want to tell the truth eventually hopefully she doesn't hate me for that. I find it really hard to take first steps even for making friendships.
