Daydream Believer

It happens once or twice a week. I'm waiting on the skytrain platform and suddenly he appears: tall and handsome. Or I look out my office window at exactly the right moment and see him again, walking by. I cross paths like this with countless others on a daily, weekly basis. I think nothing of it. We've barely spoken. And I realize the irrationality in believing that somehow, only this man's random appearances must mean something. But I can't help it. Infatuation, love, lust - whatever my desire's guise - each encounter gives it additional weight and form, until I've created something out of nothing. If only my imagination were a little less active.

Have you ever read the Celestine Prophecy? I have, many years ago and the only thing I remember is this: there is no such thing as a coinicidental meeting. When you keep running into certain people in places you wouldn't normally, it is the "universe" telling you that you are supposed to meet. Maybe not forever but you have something to give to the other or vice versa. I agree with Oy Gevalt - smile and say hello. Find out why you're supposed to meet him so the universe can move on.

@Oy Gevalt haha I did. Oddly enough, I've no problem speaking to people, even if I'm a little awkward. We talked for a few minutes but it kinda went nowhere, so now I'm just trying to get him out of my system :)

The last time I had a crush on a stranger was in my early 20s (10 years ago). I have since learned that you can't judge a book by its cover. Most of the time, I realized I really didn't like their personality after getting to know them better, and that totally killed the crush. Even if I still liked them, the fact that they had no interest in me in the end would make me lose interest.

I'm currently with someone I wouldn't have thought I would fall in love with. But after getting to know each other, we developed intense chemistry, and now I find him much more attractive. Nowadays, I don't fall easily for someone: I'm much harder to impress. There's nothing like someone you know well and who knows you well to fire the passion.

Also, forget about "destiny" and all that bullshit. It takes time and effort to form a bond with someone, and to make a relationship last.

Dear applicant as part of my global research project I have come across probably the best meet up ice breaker. “I am currently seeking a genetic and sychronistic match to the current molecular structure I find myself in this time space continuum. Though making monsters is quite fun, I would much rather explore the parallel dimensions we may or may not know each other in. If language is a barrier you need only give the spock salute and I will know your intention”
