They are a make of runners. They are the skater style one.

Love?

No I never thought that but 'Lust at first sight' doesnt sound right. I know everyone goes thro this everyday but it only lasts a few seconds/minutes and you forget about it but the fact I really liked the girls style, both where standing in the same place for a long time where there was only 5 other people there and the fact I was really bored

TBH I've gotten over it.

Also these are Vans

Ah if it's meant to be she'll serve you coffee next week in some obscure café you never previously went to but felt an incredible urge to go to because a flyer for the place got caught in an updraft and blew into your face and it said they had a free purple snack bar with all lattés that day and you will think: why not, sure I'll go, I haven't had a purple snack in a while.

Dave! · 28-09-2007 12:15AM

Are they doing that deal somewhere? I don't like coffee, but if they give free purple snack bars with tea then I'll be there! Where can I avail of this offer, Daddio? I like purple snack bars.

It is all in the future Dave, you will find it. If you book them, they will come...

Anyway, OP, that wasn't love at first sight. That was hardly even an experience, let alone falling in love with someone. You saw someone, you thought they were hot - that's sweet but seriously, don't try and make it into something that it wasn't.

Yes... I'm a cynical f*cker... but I have actually seen love at first sight happen and it's pretty neat to watch... But like most proper types of love it's a two way street.

It's a very unique and amazing biological occurrence... don't try and cheapen it, OP.

I was waiting for my bus today at two o’clock outside Drumcondra train station. Besides the fact there was a very intoxicated Shamrock Rovers fan who was kicked off there and waited around for about 20mins before leaving.

Anyway back on topic, I was looking down the road waiting for my bus to show when I saw this women same age as myself (19-22) and I got 'love at first sight'.
She looked Irish, College student, Brown hair (tied back) & eyes (we made eye contact when she walked pass me to get on the bus), was wearing pink(or red)/grey Vans, light (almost white) blue jeans which went over her Vans (like not skinny jeans which is normally accompanied with Vans), Gray top with some image repeated a few times on it and a dark colored school bag. As you can guess we were both waiting there for a long time. I was backing on that she would be getting my bus but just imagine my disappointment when she got on the 11B Dublin Bus.

Thing is I cant stop thinking about her. I know in the next few hours I will forget about it but at the moment I don’t like thinking that I will NEVER see her again

But anyway just wanted to get that off my chest.

Sitting in a traffic jam, Tel Aviv (Israel) 2001 and sitting in the car next to mine was something similar. If your experience is like mine you won't forget her.

If I chanced accross this one again I'd swear I'd remember where I seen her before.

You should have spoken to her.

Some time in life u need to think outside the box and do the odd thing.

Some time odd things have the best results.

There was no harm in talking to her only it could have been better !

CathyMoran · 28-09-2007 10:26AM

You don't know what the future might bring. I first saw my husband over 12 years ago and was taken aback by him, we did not talk for another year and did not start dating for a year after that. Some things are just meant to be (and I am a hopeless romantic

)

cjt156 · 28-09-2007 10:28AM

OP: Hi, um.....like your shoes...

Hot Vans Chick: Oh thank God you came over, I've been trying to work up the courage to say hello ever since I noticed your (insert OPs choice of footwear). I think you're really cute, wanna get a latte & a shít load of free purple snacks?

Could happen.

Seriously though, life is full of opportunities and snippets of beauty. Savour the memories and try seizing a nettle every once in a while.

Terry · 28-09-2007 10:39AM

TPD · 28-09-2007 10:42AM

Fancy shoes.

Not sure how fancy.

L31mr0d · 28-09-2007 10:44AM

love at first site does happen. I was at a party once when I was 15 and I seen this Canadian girl who instantly overwrote what the definition of beauty was in my mind, unlike the OP I approaced her and got talking. We hung out a few times for the week she had left in Ireland, we then spent 8 years writing to each other across the atlantic, we got married 2 years ago.

Literary colloquialism for "probably", most likely first used in print in John Kennedy Toole's Confederacy of Dunces, (1980), in the speech of one of the book's characters, the mother of the protagonist, Ignatius J. Reilly. The use of the word is meant to reflect the speech typical of white working-class residents of New Orleans, Louisiana.

So the users are most likely (prolly?) fans of the book!

Bet you're sorry you asked now!

shrapnel222 · 28-09-2007 11:02AM

did you see some id? cause she was probably 14 doing her junior cert, and you just had a narrow escape!!!

Dyr · 28-09-2007 11:35AM

€45 for size 9's fancy.

But, they're runners I can get into clubs with, so it's all gravy.

kraggy · 28-09-2007 11:59AM

She's probably going to St. Pat's Drumcondra. Which means she's probably doing Primary School Teaching.

Which means she likes kids. Which means she could have a big heart.

Which means she could be nice. Which means she could be approachable.

If you see her again, chat to her. Or just make eye contact and smile..

And if you don't see her again, pop up the road to St. Pat's and hang around reception. It's not that big a college so you'll probably see her there.

Niamho! · 28-09-2007 12:05PM

its not Pathetic. ... Dont mind them OP.

Happens all the time... you know its happened to ya's before yourselves.... were you pathetic then?

I agree with Monkeyfudge. It happens. Rarely, but it does happen (I speak from personal experience here)

Next time talk to her, there'll be sparks if it's mutual, otherwise she's just another attractive girl you've seen.

And if it does work out don't screw it up or you'll regret it (again - personal experience).

Love or lust?;)

Aura · 28-09-2007 01:18PM

Hang the cynics, it does happen. If you do see her again make sure you talk to her. Even just "hi, did I meet you with so and so before".

Hope you do.

A.

Horsefumbler · 28-09-2007 01:20PM

Next time you see her - follow her. She'll like that.
