During the last minute rush at the grocery store I work at, there was a ton of people. Faces that would just pass through your peripheral without a second thought. I'm a cashier, I'm used to faces blending together and out of mind.
But, there was this woman.....
She looked around my age, maybe slightly younger, like 21ish. She was shapely, and I mean SHAPELY. Her face, perfect, with just a nudge of what you'd expect someone nerdy to be like. When our eyes met, it felt like the oddest connection ever. She was shopping for shrimp with her dad and/or grandfather, it was a Christmas tradition they said. I gave them some tips on shrimp. But, in conversation she seemed to shy away from me a bit, smile, and then talk quietly to me as she left with her family. I got this little nudging in the back of my head. I mean, I'm an attached man already. But it felt kind of spiritual. It was almost like I knew her from somewhere. Or just maybe she was just a special kind of attractive that a guy like me could appreciate.
Not saying that this means anything deeper than what I've said. But it's one of those odd experiences (for me at least) that triggers something, almost like Deja Vu but you never met them before.
Believe it or not, but over the years I've had several encounters like this.
On the one hand, if you're in a committed relationship and you're finding yourself having frequent encounters like this you might want to think about adjusting your attitude to be a bit less sensitive and receptive to potential romantic/sexual partners.
On the other hand, the world is full of beautiful people, and as long as you're not acting on it a chance encounter with one of them can be just a pleasant moment in an otherwise drab or hectic day.

This is what I think also. ^^
One of the times like this, I was walking alone around an international fair at my university. This VERY cute Swedish student named Anders said something to me as we walked up to one of the booths at the same time.
We spent the afternoon walking around the fair, then campus, then went to eat at a place on The Strip. It turned out he lived off campus, and though we could have, we never actually went out. But that one day was perfect as it was.
I went on with my life. I didn't worry for weeks about whether he "liked" me, why he didn't try to get in touch with me, etc. Not that you are doing that ...
Things like this do happen. Take them for what they are.

Exactly. It was a pleasant experience. And I'm sure nothing will come of it. Doesn't take away from the surreal moment it was.
Not to long ago, I was waiting in a check-out line when the very young, pregnant lady in front of me dropped her back pack. Her husband/boyfriend, who was with her, was well over 6 feet and in good shape. He just stood there looking at her as she started to bend over, obviously having trouble keeping herself from falling. So, i quickly (as I could; I'm 70) moved in front of her and picked up her backpack and helped her up. She smiled at me in a thankful sort of way and squeezed my arm, as I helped her up. The guy didn't move a muscle. When I handed her her back pack, she said, "i wish there were more men like you around".
Oh to be young again, but her gratitude was enough to make my day.
then i saw her face, now i'm a believer, without a trace, or doubt in my mind
met my old lover in the grocery store, the snow was falling christmas eve...
