A Moving Attraction.

Yikes! This piece I wrote a while back. But it's going to be revised and all that good stuff :]



Bascially the topic is about how people don't have the guts to engage in small talk or even a full blown conversation with someone they find attractive. I don't really know about the rest of the masses but when I see someone that I find attractive I usually keep it moving. We lock eyes, we walk a tad slower, and we past each other and there goes the guy who could've been my soulmate. Hence the explanation for the title "A Moving Attraction"


This irritates me time and time again *sigh* In this fast pace city you would think we could set time to get to know a stranger afterall we all were strangers at one point. New York City the fashion captiol of the world, contains so many lovely faces. Whether or not you have actually seen someone attractive in this jungle gym of people is up to interpetation. If you haven't well I feel sorry for you, cause New York City is full of beautiful people as well as alot of ugly. However, we tend to stray our eyes to things that are appealing. I always find someone attractive on the train, guess I'm just lucky. I do plead guilty of not engaging in small talk with strangers, cause I have pride and tend to be shy on occasion. I have the guts to do alot of things but when it comes to things of romance I usually shy away.

For instance, haven't you ever locked eyes with this one person, whether its on the train or street doesn't matter. But both of you know that you find each other attractive, yet do nothing about it. And what gets to me more, the irony in the situation is how once you two realize that you've been looking/starring at each other for a while. Both or one always turns away, because their either ashamed and a million thoughts/questions run through their heads. Like damn did I stare to hard or to long? What if that person thinks I'm a weirdo? Or do they think i'm cute/pretty/handsome/goregous/beautiful/adorable/good looking/sexy and all that other good stuff.


Insecurity reaks through these two people who just excahnge a glance. Like their both trying to look at each other again and again without getting caught, like its a cat && mouse game but just with the eyes. These two people are apparently attracted to each other, but neither has the guts to talk to on another which is sad. The question now is, they've already shared a glance isn't that enought to start a romance? Come on, we see this shit happen all the time in the movies. The perfect love stories happen with just sharing a glance.


If your starring at me, I would hope its cause I'm pretty or something, cause if any other reason would be terrible lolEven though I'm pointing out to those who don't talk to those individuals that your attracted to. I do the same, I'm not even going to front about that. You don't know me, but I have a great deal of pride. I won't talk to you if you dont' talk to me first. I'll talk to you first if its like an IMPULSE, that i MUST TALK TO YOU. If not then i can live without. Talk to me, i'll talk back, perhaps even try to keep the converstation going. I have started conversations with random strangers on the train and on the streets. I don't think its a good idea, but i choose wisely. The ones i usually talk to are artists, musicians, photographers, architects, protestors, people that fit in those caterogies. I always learn something from them, whether or not its a whole train train converstation or just a 5 minute one, you get something from anything you do. These individuals were usually older men, who thought I was like beyond legal. I wish but, everything in its due time right?There are many scenerio's that deal with this whole concept.


Imagine you see this really goregous person on the train once and all of what i just explained happened between the two of you. The cat && mouse game with the eyes and all the insecurity. And then that person gets off the train or crosses the street. Never to be seen again, chances are that you'll never see this person again.But if you ever do again see that person, there's a look of recogniztion on their faces, a type of dumb look, the face that has written all over it "Do I know you from somewhere?' or "You look familiar, but i just can't put my finger where I know you from." But when you realize where you know this person you kind of smile to yourself and keep it to yourself?!?!?!?


Still you do nothing?


WTF! are we/ you waiting for! Another god knows when to see this perfect stranger that lives in a city of 294713850932745037809583049 people!Why is it that people don't go after what they want? And when they do they have fear or their to late?Its the sad truth of our day. Just thought I would share that with you guys cause its been bugging me lately
