I recently saw this music video, probably one of the most whimsical things ever.


YouTube - Chris Cagle - What A Beautiful Day

They just basically meet on the sidewalk one day and the next day they were having lunch. I guess music is just as fictious as movies. There's also a song/video called "Somebody" by Reba McEntire where the guy makes small talk with the waitress at a diner every week and they eventually get together. The video is also kind of fun.

In my local newspaper's weddings section, obviously most couples are introduced by friends/family, or met at work or school. Some are high school sweethearts. But there are also a few every now or then who would meet at a football game tailgate or in one case a random meeting at a mass transit station where they started talking on the platform. This past summer I was working at a restaurant and one of my coworkers met her boyfriend when he was eating dinner...it was a busy night but they talked a lot...when he signed his check the guy put his AIM screenname down...the girl actually wrote her own on the customer copy...and thats how it.

Has something like this ever happend with anyone here? Like the girl who goes to the fitness center a lot of the same times you do? That cute checkout girl at Wal-Mart? Or the girl you see at the library a lot?

Yes!
I was working in Tokyo in my early 30s. Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon" was playing at the movie in Shibuya station where I had to change commuter trains to go home, and I was going to see it at least three times a week after work. Crazy about it.

So one evening after I came out from the movie and was waiting at the corner for the light to change so I could walk across the street, an unusually tall male standing beside me asked me if I'd just seen "Enter The Dragon". We chatted, and I noticed clearly that he didn't exactly look Japanese. Sort of, but not exactly. He invited me to go to a tea room. (A tea room is where you order tea, cocoa, coffee, soda at pristine sit-down little tables and have pristine little quiet conversations.) I didn't normally do that sort of thing, but Japanese men were not threatening and this man's energy/aura seemed okay to me. And so we had our first date then and there.

We dated four or five times in a couple of months. Until one day, a terrorist Korean organization in broad daylight in downtown Tokyo kidnapped a Japanese government official. Guess who was one of the kidnappers?? Gee, and I never saw or heard from him again! The spy who was marking time... Hahahaha!!!

I went into a shop to order flowers for my Mom for her birthday. I chatted with the clerk as he helped me put together an order. As I was paying I said, "Should I pick you up at 8 or 9 tomorrow night?" He was suprised, but agreed to go out with me. We didn't date for long, but it was nice.

A guy I went out a few times with said hi to me as I was walking by an outdoor cafe. He thought he knew me from his work building, but I sat down for a coffee with him and we wound up going out a few times.

I met my husband when I was 18 and working at Subway. He came in to visit a co-worker of mine, and even though I had no interest in him, he kept coming back until I would agree to go out with him. He finally wore me down!

After 10 years of marriage and 4 kids, I'd say that things worked out well!

Default Emergency Room Waiting Area?!

I went to the emergency room with a bad ear infection. The waiting room was crowded and I was feeling blah and impatient. I noticed a fine looking man sitting across from me and we began talking. Long story short, we dated a year and he turned out to be an ex con and an abuser!
