roll the dice and let the chips fall

[alpacinou]

Hello,

Can I use the idioms "roll the dice" and "let the chips fall where they may" at the same time? Is this natural sounding?

1. I have decided to ask her out. I'm just gonna roll the dice then let the chips fall where they may.

Or

2. I have decided to roll the dice. I'm just gonna ask her out then let the chips fall where they may.

Many people frown and cast a dim eye on mixing metaphors.

Although mixing metaphors is a piece of cake, some stylists consider it something of a hot potato.

So, I should completely forget about the two sentences in post #1?

Yes. They may not take the cake as examples of mixed metaphors, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Sorry.

Yes, I suggest you fold your hand and give the wheel another spin.
