Dear Napfisk, I once was shy but got over it. Still it remains easy to remember the feelings.
I have come to believe people are waiting to be met. That they long to know and be known. Last night after working out at the YMCA, I engaged someone in conversation - and saw again the hunger for disclosure and dialogue and the simple sharing of life.
Romantic moment or a simple human moment or whatever - we all long to be met.
Thanks for sharing your story - you always know where the union hall is, right?

Pick up the phone, go and see her, email her. I speak for all the women out there who have seen a nice bloke, not known how to approach him without being considered forward, and then watched him walk away because he couldn't make a move. Take the heat out of it for yourself - wouldn't it be good to make a new friend? Romance is simply a friendship that ignites.

That's a classic. It happens to me sometimes...not a lot...but sometimes. There'll be some kind of connection... and I think to myself "what have I got to lose?", but then I just leave, unsure of what I should've done.
It may actually be easier to email her, that way you can compose yourself, and once verything is arranged, and the awkward bit is out the way, you can get onto the best stuff.

Mike, I keep forgetting your sound advice of opening up to people; it's true they often simply like that. I often do too – it's not that problematic – but somehow it didn't work in this case ;-)
As for this little adventure, I think I'll leave it in its theoretical realm, where it belongs. If I act on it, the fantasy might become reality, with all its cumbersome side-effects and real repercussions. I couldn't deal with all that, now could I?
