I was sitting in my favorite sandwich shop the other day, The Deli Stop in Kearny Mesa, and this beautiful girl walks in. I noticed her, but continued to eat my sandwich and read the paper. These days, I’m doing lunch solo, which is fine by me. It looked as if she was going solo as well, as I noticed her holding a book as she ordered her sandwich. She sat at the table next to me and began to read her book. This would have been the perfect moment to go up to her and say something cool, something memorable, and something impressive. The problem is you don’t know each other. And if you did get the balls to say something, what do you say? Again, I will say it…many missed opportunities in life that way. I ended up missing my chance because some of her friends came and sat with her. Again, these types of things work best one on one and it’s very rare that you have those odds in your favor. Most of the time, girls are with their friends, so you miss out on the chance. And what are the chances we will be in that deli at the same time ever again? I mean, they do make good sandwiches, but come on…
Which is why I thought this site was cool. YOLO means “You Only Live Once,” and really advocates the whole “Carpe Diem” idea. I first heard about it while watching Average Joe: Adam Returns. Yeah, I know…I will admit to watching reality t.v. But the girl that lost out, a very cute Rachel Goetz, used this phrase in how she approached the whole concept of reality t.v. and dating. So I thought it was kind of cool. The only thing left for me to do now is grow a pair and talk to the next cute girl I see sitting alone in a sandwich shop. We’ll see if that ever happens.
