The Fine Line Between Being a Casanova and a Creep
Today, I did something that was borderline creepy or borderline awesome.
Before I begin, a little story...a couple of weeks ago, I happen to see this girl in a Metro car on my way home from work. We made eye contact more than just a couple of times. One of us would look away when we realized it, but we made eye contact a few too many times to be an accident. As I was getting off the Metro, I considered saying hi to her, but the girl stayed on the Metro as I got off. I then thought about maybe looking at her through the window and then smile to see if I get a response, but I chickened out. In fact, I kept my head down as I walked passed the window. I was having a bad day, and I did not want to make it worse by facing disappoint; sometimes it is better to lie to yourself than to face the horrible truth. The incident obviously stuck enough for me to remember (possibly because as insignificant as this event is, when a cute girl eyes me like that, it does makes me feel good--plus this girl had huge eyes for an Asian girl and I have always found that attractive).
Now fast forward to when I came home tonight. I was too busy working on my Sudoku to initially realize that this girl was on the same Metro car once again. When I did realize it, we once again locked eyes. This time although it was a little more awkward than last, we pretty much kept our eyes locked. When I smiled, she smiled too. Once again, I found myself exiting the train before her and once again I had a dilemma on my hand. So naturally, I pushed the envelope this time and turn to see her looking at me through the window. I then looked at her, smiled, and did my creepster-eye-brow thing that I do.
The creepster-eye-brow thing that I do is very hit or miss (actually more miss than hit), but today, it was a definite hit.
As I walked away, I saw her smile and do the cutesy-girl-giggle (where she cover her mouth with her hands and closed her eyes). I knew I did good and could not help but smile. If anything, I made her day without coming off looking a like creep.
Who knows, maybe I will actually talk to her next time.
