Every day seems the same. No matter how much I wish or pray he just won’t notice me. Day in day out we continue to be stagnant. He looks at me, I look back, he looks away. No matter where we may be. I’ve tried countless times to talk to my mysterious interest but he always finds a way to avoid me, to just disappear. Yet he looks at me so longingly, I don’t understand!

I first encountered him at a large house I was considering buying, but it was far to big for just me. I saw him looking at a painting of a family on the wall when he looked up and made eye contact with me. I began towards him but before I could reach him he went around a corner and I couldn’t find him again. Then I began seeing him at work, he’d be walking outside, inside lingering by customer service, or just somewhere in the building. It’s a large company so I thought maybe I just never noticed him as a coworker and we happened to be at the same open house. But then I started to see him everywhere.

I’d see him at the store or at the salon. He was everywhere but my apartment. At first this bothered me and felt like it was becoming a stalker situation, but he never gives off that feeling. He looks at me so intently and is almost surprised every time I make eye contact with him and try to talk to him. In a way that makes him seem so lonely but still inviting. I just want to get to know him, maybe grab dinner and a movie. He seems like my type other than the fact that he won’t talk to me. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
