Nevermind Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Hello, as some of you know I did the way of St James this year and it helped me a lot. I am so much more at ease with myself and others and I do enjoy life so much more...if anybody ever thought of doing it: I recommend it highly. Anyway... On the last days I met a man from Ireland. I first only saw him and he saw me, without interaction, in a hostel we stayed in. Then we had a break at lunch together the next day. Then we stayed in the same hostel again, where we had dinner. And then the next day breakfast and our ways parted. I saw him again in Santiago by accident, and the next day on the airport. He gave me a kiss on both cheeks and in that moment, time stopped. I really wanted this moment to go on forever. It's hard to describe. I was always happy to see him and in a weird way I wasn't insecure around him, as I would be around a crush. It's...never happened before. Is this love at first sight? (And possibly this sounds trite and strange for not knowing him very well...but time and people are different on the way of St James. You do bond differently.) Here is the problem: I don't have any contact details. We never got around to it, and after he gave me a kiss, he smiled and said something about his notebook...but I didn't hear him and then I was called away, while he was absent. I know his name and I know where he lives, but that is it. He did seem to like me, as he was very shy usually but I was not going to make this into a big thing, but he keeps coming into my thoughts. A friend of mine suggested to have an advert in a paper of his city to have him contact me. I think that might really weird and maybe he didn't feel anything.. Thoughts? Suggestions? Should I just get over it?
Geishawhelk Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Put an advert in the paper, and say that you think he left something at the airport, and you have something of his.... Hopefully you'll get contact. Then he'll ask you what it was.... And you can say "your wonderful smile and a feeling if kindness I didn't want to lose for good. Can we get together for a bite to eat?" Howzzat?!
Stockalone Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 The realist/pessimist in me thinks that he might find it awkward to have his name appear in such a fashion in his hometown paper. And why try to get in contact with a man who had numerous chances to make his interest known or at least exchange contact information? If he had been interested, I think that he would at least have exchanged phone numbers or e-mail addresses. However, knowing only too well from personal experience that a shy guy might indeed pass up such an opportunity, the romantic (or what is left of him) in me thinks that love knows no boundaries and that love at first sight is not a myth, but a reality that only a few lucky people ever experience. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. As long as you are comfortable with placing the ad and if you don't want to look back a few years from now, wondering what might have been, then place the ad.
