Crush

Have you ever developed an instant crush on someone? Maybe even what some would call love at first sight?
It rarely happens to me, but I just met a man that I would marry tomorrow if I had the chance. I wish I could place his accent, but he is either Scottish or Irish, and beyond adorable. His hair is prematurely gray and cut very short, sort of like a young Anderson Cooper, and he has the greenest eyes ever. He wanted to know where he could buy cigarettes, and since nothing around here is open, I offered him one of mine. (Thank you, Life, for stressing me out and making me buy a pack yesterday) I believe he informed me that he only smokes after he has a drink. Nevermind that I could only understand 25% of what he was saying, I was enthralled with every word that came from his mouth. It was like Snatch in real life. Only cuter.
The last time I developed insta-crush, it was on a girl. She was staying at the hotel, and woke up really early one morning to wait for her ride. She stood at the desk, talking with me a mile a minute about my life and hers, a deep conversation brought up so casually. She wore hospital scrubs, a winter coat, gloves, and a Northface backpack. Her hair was up and she had no make up on. She literally guzzled two 20 ounce Diet Cokes during our 10 minute conversation. She would turn from me and quietly burp into the crook of her elbow. Then continue talking and drinking. She was so graceful about it. I have never in my life wanted to be a bottle of Diet Coke. But oh I yearned.
Her ride got there, and she left.
These crushes only happen to me when I know I'll never see the person again. I guess it's safer that way.
OK, I'm going to go and try to make out with the Irish fellow now. Wouldn't that be awesome? Wish me luck.
