Twice

Yesterday, at the Celtic Festival, a young man somehow joined Baby Sister and I during my favorite band's set. She claimed to see him checking me out. I could tell he was way too young, but I did get that geek-weird vibe from him. I wasn't rude, but I did try to politely ignore him and his attention. Eventually, Baby Sister struck up a conversation with him and found out he was her age. They chatted a bit, but no numbers were exchanged. I dunno if she was really interested, but she's in a similar boat in the Single World.

Then today, I was at the Festival alone. I spent a few hours just wandering around, looking at jewelry booths and picking out what I'd be buying for lunch later. There was one point when I was seemingly keeping pace with some guy. He was looking at the same things, I thought, but he was just always there. Suddenly, he zipped across in front of me to stop and grab a random keychain from a rack. I had paused to eye the same rack, looking for my family's Scottish clan's crest. He wasn't even looking at the keychain in his hand. I kinda glanced at him, he glanced more obviously at me, and then I wandered away...and didn't see him again. I have no idea what that was about. I didn't even register if he was attractive or not. It was more like, "what are you doing?"

It's these strange small encounters that I tend to ignore and toss aside as nothing. Some would say they're good signs, encouraging or something. But if they're not going to speak to me, or if they're way too young, or whatever else...what's the point in giving them a second thought? So...I don't, normally. This was an exception because I took a mental note to blog about it. Otherwise, I would acknowledge and disregard.

Oh, and by the way, the Love Knot Ring is working already! This guy was eager for a picture!
