The girl I met on the train...

Okay, so there's been more than just the one, but this one stands out.

She's a country girl with two older brothers, which prepared her well for putting up with me. I made fun of her straight out of the gate, and she threw it back in my face. Before the conversation was over, she was telling a gay guy on the train that I wanted him. BAD.

Honestly, she outwitted, outvulgarized, and outplayed me in a way that no girl has done since the ONE WHO SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED. It was fantastic. And at the end, I was in such awe, I didn't even ask her for a date. She passed ignominiously into the nether reaches of my past like any of the inconsequential wraiths I meet 100 times a day.

But this one was special. This one had a mind on her, and the spirit and chutzpah to put me in my place. This one will make some lucky man miserable someday, and I may never see her again.

One can only hope for another meeting of eyes and an impromptu, insult-ridden exchange on the train.

It's so exciting meeting someone that seems so awesome and then walking away wondering...

Maybe good luck will come your way and throw this poor girl in your path yet again for you to drop the ball!
