I don't know what to do. He walked past me and now it's over?
This may sound either desperate or cute. I was walking on an empty street today, looking for a store. I was chewing gum and focused on whatever was around. Then I noticed someone passing me by, I looked at him and he was already staring at me. He smiled. And to be honest, nobody has ever smiled at me like that my whole life. My heart melted. I was born again. I could feel rather than think. I was complete.
I knew him. He knew me.
I smiled back, just a little bit. Then we just slowly walked away from each other. He, one way and I the other.
I can’t stop thinking about him. I love ‘grunge’ styled men, but face is very important too. And his face was so familiar, even though I never met him before. I lived a life with him. He made everything more understandable and I made things easier in his life.
I don’t know what to do now. I think I fell in love or something. We had great vibes! I think love is so overrated. You don’t have to talk to someone to love them! What can I do now? Why did he smile like that? Am I stupid? Did you experience something similar? I really need to know! Share it away!

What exactly is your question? Do you want to know how to find him again?
Are you asking if it’s crazy to be in love with someone you pass by?
@chyna “What can I do now? Why did he smile like that? Am I stupid? Did you experience something similar? I really need to know! Share it away!”
Put the details into a “Missed Connection” post on craigslist. You never know!
@zenvelo How funny would it be if he actually posted it too :P
He thought you were physically attractive. That’s all. You don’t know him, he doesn’t know you. That’s it. There is no big destiny thing going on here. Don’t try to turn this situation (that happens every day to other people) into something big and important. He thought you were attractive and that’s that. He probably has forgotten about the whole incident already. In general, young heterosexual males don’t put value on such things, whereas females want to put value on such things. This dude, probably saw 3 or 10 other girls on the same day, that made him give that same smile. Dude is horny. Dude is not romantic. I’m guessing that you are a teenager, right?
There is no such thing as love at first sight. Love is something deeper than just physical attraction, it has to do with shared interests, shared life goals, believing that the other person is more important than oneself (not due to infantile obsessions, but due to knowledge that the other person is important in thousands of ways, not just “because”)
Enjoy the fact that he thought you were cute. If you see him again, somewhere, then maybe you can ask him out on a date and see where that takes you, but please, do not put it into your head, that because he smiled at you “in that way” that it means more than he just thought you were cute.
I thought this was an exercise in Creative Writing or something…
This has got to be a fucking wind up surely.
You are so very wrong. You just experienced pheromones or chemistry. It is nothing to base a life on. You do have to talk to someone to experience true love—and talk—and talk! You need to have similar values. You need to share some interests.
I can understand the answers above. Yes, it is all very rational – this is not love, this is silly and what not.
But don’t neglect a little magic in this life. Yes, I know how you feel. Sometimes you just connect with someone and it doesn’t have to be rational and some might call it shallow. There is nothing to do. Maybe you will meet him again, most likely not, but no one can predict the future. Feel what you feel, it is not wrong. Life is all sorts of things.
