Might as well get this off my chest.
I walked into one of my classes on the first day of the semester and saw this girl. My vision tunneled, I got a bit light headed, my stomach dropped, and I was hit with this realization that "Holy shit, this is the girl I'm going to marry." She was the most beautiful, adorable thing I have ever seen. And there was this connection. One that I don't have the words to describe, but it was there. I hadn't said one word to her, I didn't know her name, I had just laid eyes on her literally seconds earlier, but I could tell just by looking at her that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I've seen a lot of hot girls in my life, but this went way, way beyond that. I always thought that "love at first sight" was bullshit, but that's the only way I can describe this.
And then she talked. And not only was she gorgeous, she was funny, brilliant, and down to Earth. I wanted to say something so badly. So badly. But I couldn't. See five posts up.
Of course the first thing you do in this situation is stalk her social media. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. A girl like this had to be spoken for. She's too perfect not to be taken. I waffled for weeks. I didn't want to give up the fantasy. Finally, a month into the class, I found her on Facebook. Album after album of her with her boyfriend. On vacation. In their apartment. I'm shocked they aren't engaged.
What washed over me was this weird dichotomy of suicidal pessimism and incredible relief. The former because I couldn't have her. The latter because even if I did have the balls to make a move, I wouldn't have a chance anyway.
I always wake up on the days I have that class with an extra bounce in my step. I get to see her. I often find myself drifting into a daydream about our life together. Introducing her to my family. Summer vacations. Our first dance at our wedding. Then I snap back into the real world and have to yell at myself "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU CREEPY AUTISTIC FAGGOT, SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY."
I actually have managed to stammer out a couple conversations with her. Mostly about the class.
I dreamed about her for the first time last night. Which is probably why I'm so depressed today.
One more week of class before the semester is over. Good chance that I'll never see her again. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
