The Signs.....
Sunday, March 18, 2007
| Your sitting in the library wasting time not doing anything important. You see her across the room. She's kinda cute, someone you'd look at twice. For the last few minutes, you've gotten the feeling that she has been glancing up at you every so often. At first, you wondered if she was really looking at you, but now you are sure. Over and over again she glances your way. You now know that she wants you to walk over to her and use one of your smooth lines. You're going to make her swoon but catch her before she falls. You now mentally ready yourself -- oh there she goes again, she checked you out. Your getting ready to make your move. But first, you check your hair, smooth your eyebrows (not understanding why they do that in the movies ), check your breath (knowing you look retarded breathing in your hand). But anyway....your clothes look good, shoes tied...you look up...and she's looking again, but only for a second as she quickly goes back to scribbling. Definitely no mistaking it now. Confidence in check, you see the path is clear to her, you stand up, straighten your clothes, doing the mental check once more. Trying your best James Dean/John Wayne smooth strut you mentally rehearse your plan to walk right up to her and sweep her off her feet. She looks again and quickly looks down. You inwardly smile to yourself, just knowing she is waiting for you to approach. I mean how could she not, she has looked at you so many times in the last 20 minutes that you haves lost count, though you did try. Talk about enthusiasm getting in the way. Here you go, meeting the woman that could be the greatest thing on earth. She looks up again right before you start to approach. No turning back now, one foot and then the other, moving in on her like she's prey and your the predator. She doesn't know that she's about to swoon at your feet. Once again you give a small smile at your sheer genius dialogue she just wishes she could hear. You have her in your sights...only a couple or more feet until you make her day. You approach her table, lightly rap your knuckles to get her attention. After all you have seen this confident move in the movies many times and it always works. Your knuckle rap has brought her head up, you expect a beaming smile. She makes eye contact.... Your breathe catches waiting to hear her flowery words, she opens her mouth and says.... "What do you want?" in a very not nice tone. Off guard, you try of figure out what has happened. Maybe you heard her wrong. You try to be smooth, giving her a debonair smile and casually tell her that you noticed her checking you out for the last half hour and decided to come and say hello. You patiently wait for her to smile and start that conversation you have been running in your mind for last 30 minutes. You tell yourself that the look she has on her face is not what you expected but maybe you caught her off guard. She laughs. Not the quiet flirtatious laugh, but the tears running down her face, slap the table kind of laugh. And because you think you missed the punchline but don't want to look stupid, you laugh too. Then while pointing, still laughing, she informs you that she never noticed you sitting there, she was just keeping an eye on the clock so she isn't late for her exam. You face heats up and she laughs even harder. You didn't miss the joke, she was laughing at you...and you really missed the signs. That one, you got wrong....big time. |
