When you see someone across the room that you find completely fascinating and you begin to have daydreams about magically bumping into him, your first conversation, the kinds of dates you'd go on, the stunning wedding, the children you'd have, growing old together, and then you think....wait, I haven't even said hello yet.
But what are you supposed to do? What are you supposed to do when you see someone that you've been dreaming about, but you're too shy to say hello?
Are you supposed to let love happen, or go after it?
Are you supposed to let it happen like in the movies, where you both bump into each other (literally) and papers go flying, and he helps you pick them up, and your hands magically touch....or your car breaks down, and he magically comes to help you fix your car on the side of the road, or you both reach for the same pineapple in the grocery store....
...Those would all be perfect and easy ways to fall in love. But what if he is across the room, and you're still on the other side? You cannot think of any logical non-insane way for you to "magically meet". Are you supposed to throw all movie-induced fake fantasies aside, and just walk up to them and say hello, I think you are the hottest guy I've ever met, and I want to mate with you for ever? Like a penguin? I think that would not go over well, in my opinion. If someone said that to me, based off my multiple psych experiences, I would be seriously concerned for their mental health.
So naturally I expect any guy that I go up to and say that, to be really weirded out and I lose all chance.
So how do you do it? Past relationships have been the type where we met in hell (high school) class, the other was introduced by a friend.
I guess for now I'm going to still wait for the magical meet-up. Until I hit 30. Then its getting late. Then I will have to start just saying hi and go with the whole penguin talk thing.

This makes me think of the line in Train's "Marry Me:" "If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe, say you will"
I'll be there even if the penguin talk doesn't work! (Though I'm sure you have nothing to worry about <2)
I LOVE THAT SONG.
I think about it all the time. I *****WISH****** someone magical would come up to me in a cafe. I actually have an entire scene written about that, just randomly with random characters. Maybe i'll post it one day.
ANd thank you =]
