Can I be this shallow?
This evening I missed my train to come home and ended up on a different one. And there I saw someone I knew from high school. She was my best friend's cousin. I even remember him wanting to set the two of us up because he wanted to have me in the family.
As soon as I thought that I started secretly trying to spot her right hand. After four or five minutes I finally saw it, nothing. Bare ring finger, good sign, good sign.
Then it occurred to me, I've just met a nice girl from my past who looks great and has rather pretty eyes and that's all I can think about. Part of me says "get her number!" And the other part of me is saying "No!" You're not that shallow!
Perhaps that's part of the problem. I think asking a girl for her number is being shallow. Duh! If I can't get her number how can I stay in contact with her to find out if we're really interested enough to go out?
Since she isn't on myspace I don't have to worry about her seeing this--but I guess that part of me that wanted her number also wants her to read this.
I feel so insanely passive. I might have to make some kind of crazy resolve to break out of this stupid passivity.
And if I see this friend's cousin whose name I'm kindly enough to leave off the world wide web, I will ask for her number, and a night out on the town. Who cares if anything comes of it. Fun is fun even with old acquaintances who never really got to know each other the first time around right?
