did i just miss an opportunity?

I can't start a day without breakfast.

I needed to be in school around eight this morning. And since eight was my usual waking time, I didn't want to wake up earlier than necessary just so I can have breakfast at home. So I decided to just drop by Starbucks for a sandwich.

Now I don't go to Starbucks often enough to memorize the pastries and other food they have. So I was standing in front of the glass showcase, deliberating what to get.

I noticed a guy queued up next to me.

I automatically said, "Go ahead." I noticed he was tall. And I remember seeing him by the sidewalk earlier, and I did see he was not bad looking.

He said, "It's okay, go first."

I answered, "I haven't decided yet." This whole time though I didn't look at him directly. Gosh, at this age, I still act like a shy little school girl. (Though I don't know if "little" was ever a word that described me in the past.)

So he went ahead , and even pointed out a sandwich, which unfortunately was with SPAM. I just had SPAM a few days back and I was looking for something slightly healthier. So I picked something else.

But that's it. I knew it was opportunity, but I didn't take it. There was this decent-looking TALLER guy and I didn't even bother to look at him, smile or anything that resembled any form of flirting.

I know that a few blog entries back I wrote about preferring to meet someone in a bookstore or a coffee shop instead of a bar. It turns out I can only write about things, but never know what to do when it's already right in front of my face.

Now I'm deliberating if I should try going to Starbucks same text next Saturday, in the chance he goes there regularly. Or is that being pathetic? Should I just think that it was fate for NOTHING to happen this morning and just forget it?
