I was on the bus last week going back home. A girl came to sit next to me. She had black hair and a beautiful face. For some reason, I was attracted to her, maybe it was because of her hair color. I took some glimpses at her. She must have noticed it and took some glimpses at me in exchange. I wanted to start a conversation with her, but I did not know where to start. Actually, I find it hard to start conversations on the spot with people I do not know. The bus ride went for about 10 minutes with both of us exchanging some discrete looks at each other. She had to get off the bus, she stood up, went to the door waiting for the bus to stop. We locked eyes for like 5 seconds, then she disappeared in the night. I don't know if it would have been better for me to talk to her. I kind of regret that I did not do so. Have you ever lived similar experiences, that is meeting somebody that you really liked when you were on the bus or at any other public place? Did you make the move, or you just adopted a passive attitude like I did. Or maybe you actually met your love on the bus or in the metro?

i have a similar experience as your but it turned out very differently. in my case, i rejected the opportunity of being with the person i really like. a few years have passed and we met unexpectedly and this time i made some initiatives of showing him that i like him and he was also very responsive. we were both feeling the same feelings we had before and it took us some years to finally give it a try. im just blessed coz fate made us met each other again. now we're happily in love with each other. im telling you now that if she is really meant for you, fate will really let you meet her again and this time please dont let the chance pass again. Good Luck and God Bless.. :)

That is a very nice story, a fairy tail.

I don't know about the love of my life, but I have had that happen to me before. I am married but I have to admit that I undress them with my eyes and if they are really hot, I can create a really intense fantasy about them. I am like you in the fact that I don't know what to say until the moment is gone.

I think it is hard to approach them because we fear rejection or worse public embarrassment.

yes, i do believe in love at first site...although i suppose it is a strong physical attraction rather than love becuase love actually takes time to grow.

Yes, I definitely agree with you. It takes months or even a few years for a strong relationship to build up. Still, we have sometimes the impression that we just missed our soul mate.

Ever seen the movie serendipity?,quite a different scenario but would somehow have the same concept,meeting the so-called "soulmate",..just sad you havent had the chance to talk to her and ask even just her name.:-(,..My friend got the same experience before but later on realized it was just a passing fancy coz he actually found the right one now,..but for your case if you consider her your soulmate or whatever,remember the world is round and probably God would make a way to have your ways meet again and if that happens don't allow it to pass again!!!!
