Finding love

They say that you don't find or go looking for love, but rather love finds you. Take for example this scenario.

Scenario:

So you're wandering around the mall, alone. You grab a bite to eat, enjoy a scenic view (by scenic view, I mean the girls roaming the mall) and all of a sudden, you saw someone that magnetizes all your attention towards her. You can't help but stare and I think I heard your jaw drop. So you grab a quick glance at her once in a while to see if she's accompanied by someone (friend or jealous boyfriend, mayhap?). After a few minutes, you come to the conclusion that she's alone (how you're going to deduce that, I cannot say) and then the fork in the road comes in clear view. Are you going to say something like a cheesy pick up line just so you can have a quick conversation with her? Or just let her be? If you're going to choose the second option, then I believe you should stop reading this article and look for something else, but you're still welcome to read if you want. Other than that, it's going to take guts to even choose option 1. If you have the utmost confidence and you're good at conversations, choose option 1. Not all pick up lines, no matter how cheesy they are work for all girls. But still it's definitely worth a try. At least it's an excuse to actually have a conversation with her. So you go by her table, say a couple of words and she smiles at you. Here comes another fork in the road. Are you going to continue or not? Not depending on what you actually said, ask politely if she's alone. Something like "Hey, by chance, you're not being accompanied by someone right now? If you are, I'm sorry for the bother". At least, this makes way for a graceful exit. If she says that she's being accompanied by someone, then this scenario will end. However, I'm a very optimistic author so let's go for the answer that she is alone. Now, again, politeness pays. Politely ask if you can join her and also tell her that you're alone. She says yes, and you quickly grab a seat. Introductions are made, then quick chit chat that goes on for an hour or so. You're both enjoying yourselves and then it's time for her to leave. Again, politely ask for her number or email so you can have another conversation at another given time. She says goodbye, thanks you for the company and tells you that she's enjoyed herself. End of scenario

What just happened here? A couple of minutes ago, you were alone in the mall and the next thing you know, you just got into an impromptu date with a complete stranger that completely grabbed your attention. Love at first sight much? I would guess so, if you could muster up the courage to even talk to her. How others would see it is different from what I'm seeing in this scenario. Maybe others would be thinking that the guy is just after a quick fling or whatever. What I'm after is the possibility that there might be something worth exploring, like a relationship in the near or far future if you play your cards right.

Anyways, what's my point in this scenario? It just so happens that love has found you (yet again, we all have different point of views) at the right place and at the right time. Sometimes all a person's got to do is just to be patient. Remember, only fools rush when they're in love. To avoid further complications, get to know the person better and thus giving you time to reassess your feelings or emotions towards that particular person. Love may come and go, but it always has a reason for it to go, no matter how painful that reason may be. Everybody deserves to be loved and everybody deserves to be happy.
