...I walk away.

A friend and I decided to make a late night run to Wal-mart on Friday. It was pretty slow since it was 11:30 at night. It was uneventful until we got to the checkout. There i was paying for my new pjs, just minding my own business. I looked back and behind my friend was the most attractive man i had seen in a long time. I did a double take and noticed he didn't have anything in his hands. I thought to myself, not that i mind but why is he in line if hes not getting anything! I looked over at my friend and gave her a look that clearly said "cute boy behind you." Which, by the way, she understand, and she took a quick peek behind her. He grabbed some gum and put it on the conveyer belt. Mystery solved. but who goes to wal-mart just for a pack of gum at 11:30 at night? Lucky for my friend cute boy started talking to her.The two of them made small talk and joked around a bit. when my friend went to pay for her stuff, he asked if she was sure she didn't want t pay for his gum as well. (Jokingly of course) So they laughed. I stood there thinking "Invite him to our brunch party tomorrow"!!!! I was hoping she would somehow magically read my mind. but alas. she payed for her things and said "have a great night". and let the store. As soon as we were outside, we couldn't help but talk about him. But my question to her was"why in the world did you let him get away???!!!" We got in the car and drove off. I said to my friend, "that guy could have been your soul mate and you just walked away.....she said she was thinking along the same lines. It was love at first sight. We turned the car around and headed back to wal-mart. we drove around for a bit hoping to find him...but we had no luck. Love was standing behind us in line at wal-mart and we let it get away. Case in point.....when you see someone that you think could be your one and only don't just let them walk away, and don't you walk out either. Do something about it so you aren't left wondering what could have been. If you do get to know them and things don't turn out...well that's alright. Another person will come along and you will be given a second chance. Don't be like me. There have been too many instances in my life where I have let a guy get away. Or I have seen a cute, knowing full well i should talk to him, or flirt with him..and instead I just stop and stare...walk away...and then feel like a complete loser.
