The Man in my Dream

What should one do when she meets the man in her dreams?

Does she not care and walk away with an air of nonchalance? Or does she walk up to him and say hi so that the opportunity doesn't slip her by?

Sadly, the pride in me made me choose the first option this noon. And it is now killing me inside as I cringed with regret at my stupid decision. "Must the guy always make the first move?", I ask myself.

He was exactly like the man in my dream those few nights ago. The eye contact lingered and my knees almost buckled. Have you ever wondered how long an eye contact should linger before it is considered flirting or chemistry? I believe in the one-second rule (of mine) when in a relationship - it cannot last more than one second (two seconds tops). Anything between 3 to 5 seconds means some sparks are firing up between the pair.

"But how else was I supposed to do it?", I wonder. I haven't got the courage of a warrior, nor the confidence of Paris Hilton, or the killer looks of Heidi Klum. In fact, the second time I bumped into him, I walked as fast as I could as if I was running away.

Opportunities, once missed, may never knock twice. I can only bash myself for letting it slip by. Someone please, teach me how to grab the right one when it comes along!
