Today after work, I was walking out to the western door and saw a pretty young woman with reddish brown curly hair walking in the opposite direction. I smiled and as we passed each other, we both turned our heads so that we weren't looking at each other directly but casually looking out of the corner of our eyes to see if we were looking back. And both of us were! Up until we were 15 feet past each other, she actually did a full 180 and started to walk back to me right as I stopped looking at her and started looking at the door in front of me. And that's when she did another 180 turn and went back to walking in her original direction.
Now, I know I'm green at meeting women on New York streets or in San Francisco malls, but I got into this total self-twist about what I should have done. I mean, it's the first time a woman actually looked back at me and then I never would have believed that she would actually turn back to walk towards me(was I supposed to walk back towards her like that Meet Joe Black scene?) It just blew my mind.
So, after driving my 5 minute home trek, I changed clothes and went to the Fitness USA gym inside the mall for that serendipitous card toss in the hat that I might get a chance to see her again and throw some line like, "I saw you earlier and you caught my eye and I was wondering if I caught yours." But really, if I saw her again I'd just say, "Hello, I'm Brent and I think you're pretty. Would you have dinner with me tonight?". But I don't know myself well enough to even say that I would say that to a 100%.
But sadly, I didn't see her as I went in and didn't see her as I came out of the gym-in-the-mall. So, I hope upon that theory that if you visit a mall and you're not a tourist, you're likely to go back there at some future point in time. Also put on record that this was the first time I had actually used the gym since signing up last November.
At least the Spurs gave me positive reflection after beating the Suns for a 2-0 lead.
