i can only hope

just thinking out loud...Meeting someone new… it’s all about the subtleties. That mystical thing known as… the first impression..... -Anything can lead to disaster. especially the things I have no control over: my face, my body, my voice, my style of speaking, my body language... -confidence can be observed… so can nervousness… so can desire... A mention>leads to... A picture>leads to... An e-mail>leads to... A call>leads to... A meeting>leads to... A glance>leads to... A smile… But do I get a smile in return? I can only hope.... - I start to doubt myself... Am I being to bold? Maybe the e-mail is a bad idea? Think of the alternative first meeting… A chance encounter at a relative’s house>leads to... A mention to my mother>leads to... A visit to your house>leads to... A serving of chai>leads to... A stolen glance>leads to... A smile... But do I get a smile in return? I can only hope.... -Different beginnings but the same ending… I can only hope.... Does a technical process begin after that…start with the interview... review the bio-data... call the character witness... assess the compatibility... compare with the ideal... -But I’m not hiring an employee!... Aren’t there supposed to be sparks? chemistry? romance? love? That’s what popular cultures says. right? So where do I begin? How do I start? Should I mention what i'm thinking to her?... -My gut instinct tells me to wait till a real meeting this summer. to keep it simple > don’t over think > just go with the flow. But I must start somewhere. I have an e-mail address. Maybe I send her an e-mail now. Maybe just copy and paste all of the above. And then wait for a response.... what will you do asad?
