I Honestly Don't Even Know Your Name
.... but I wanted to thank you. I'm sure you have no idea what I'm talking about.
We barely spoke for five minutes today. Our interactions were of more the silent, making faces through the "Secure Zone" glass. However, I've seen you in passing, and I know you've seen me. I honestly don't even know your name, but I wanted to thank you. There's something in those five minutes of discussing Transformers, and those hours of making faces that makes the fact that I said "I'm getting it for my roommate," instead of "my ex," that makes all the difference in the world. There's something in that laughing smile of yours, that makes me know that I'm going to be okay. I knew, mentally, that I was going to be okay; but you made me feel like I was going to be okay.
I honestly don't even know your name, but I wanted to thank you. You showed me that even after three years I haven't forgotten how to be a flirt with those wonderful geeks that I like so much. You showed me that someone else will, and does, pay attention to me even when there are more convenient people to laugh with. You really did show me that I'm going to be okay.I honestly don't even know your name, but I wanted to thank you.I suppose I should have made an effort to look at your name tag.
Have you ever had a moment like this?

yes! random connections with strangers + finding someone else attractive = a step towards getting over it. love it.
Self Rediscovery is both a bitch and a beautiful thing.
You and I are in the same boat right now, so I feel for you. You are a beautiful person, and dont let anyone tell you differently!!!
Yes! And I didn't know how to describe said moment until I read this post! Great read. Keep it up. =)
yes. and they are awesome. :D
haven't had them in a while, though. I guess it's because I'm constantly thinking and I don't notice when it does happen. =/yeah, recently i have had that with someone recently. It feels good.
@JennyGee@xanga - those are amazing.
Yes. I had this really weird one a few months ago when I was in the hospital waiting room crying because everything pointed to the fact that someone really close to me was going to die. This one guy, probably around my age, just looked at me. He was just staring at me, watching me cry. I don't know what he was thinking, because he showed no expression, but for some reason I remember him and his eyes staring at me. Yeah, it was weird...I don't know why I remember only him specifically or even why I actually felt better because of him. *shrug*
*forgot to add in* My situation wasn't quite like this, obviously, but it was similar...the whole random stranger connection thing. I love when things like this happen.
I sure have, I think moments like this are the best, you meet someone totally random and don't even know them. People come into our lives for a reason or a season, moments like this are what make you realize just how true that is.
First darling I want to say that I absolutely love your icon. I live by the words that "In the end, it's all okay. If it's not okay, it's not the end." This carried me through some hard times after my high school sweetheart/roommate/ex-fiance cheated. On top of that, a random connection with a stranger, reminded me that I was worthwhile enough to keep going. I'll never see him again, but the look he gave me told me that my ex was wrong when he said no one would love me again. P.S. Give a listen to the song: You're Beautiful, by James Blunt, same story.
"I honestly don't even know your name."
Sounds like a post about an admirer being rejected by someone who doesn't ... know his/her name. That freaked me out, because hopefully He knows my name.
Anyways, I love talking with strangers. They open up new doors someone close to you cannot.
Nope, but sounds nice.
no, i'm pretty antisocial and mostly unapproachable by any strangers :(
I actually had a moment like that the other day. I work at a supermarket and had a customer come up and ask about some products and just chat about 4 times during a course of a shift. She was really cute and talking with her really made my evening.
I love those times of meeting someone random and making a fun connection. Even if ti's only for a few moments and you never see them again they are worth every bit as much if not more than the close moments with friends.
I kinda got it when I saw the title, but good post
yeah! these moments mean a lot to me lol. might sound silly to other people, but sometimes i find myself randomly recalling moments like these haha.
yes. and i thought i was crazy. and imagining things.
ilovethispost.
i also made that picture my background. haha.
Random connections are great.
Treat everyone in your life like a guest.talking to the right type of stranger is definitely pretty awesome.
I feel loved when I'm totally depressed and a total stranger walks by me and smiles at me. Or someone will says hi to me. You never know how someone feels when you pass them by, so I always try to smile or say hi to people as I walk pss them.
