A couple of weeks ago I was waiting at a bus stop. I was not in such a great mood following uni that day. There was a guy walking towards me, and I'm looking past him to see if the bus is coming. As he comes nearer, I change my focus on to him, and I catch him with a rather silly small smile on his face. Grumpy that my personal space would soon be invaded, I turn the other direction and take no further notice at him. All the while I was thinking, "Don't sit down here, don't sit down here." Of course, he sat down next to me. Minutes pass, and the bus comes. At the ticket checking, I'm having trouble getting my purse out, and rather than hold up the line I let people pass. When I finally dig out my ticket, I reach to swipe the card at the same time as someone else. I turn around, and it's the guy with the small silly smile. I couldn't help but return the smile as he politely let me on first. It was then for a moment that my heart skipped a beat. It was strange, because I'm not one to get all deluded. I mean, I'm not naive and inexperienced as to go all lovey dovey over a small act. Normally, I wouldn't think twice if a guy offered me his seat. Add to the fact that he wasn't particularly physically attractive.

Anyway, a couple of days ago when I accompanied my friend to print stuff at the library, I bumped into him again. My friend and I were probably talking obnoxiously loud because he turned slightly towards my direction. I immediately recognised that small weird smile of his, and continued working at my computer in silence. All the while I was looking at him, whilst pretending to look at my screen. I had this sudden urge and confidence to give him my number (I never give out my number??). My gut was actually telling me that it would be a good idea. I folded though, thinking logically about the situation, and how weird I would come across. I left soon after, but after that second encounter I can't get him out of my head.

Thanks for listening.
