About exactly 1 month ago, on saint patrick's day, I met a swedish girl in irish pub, Paddy's.
Her name is Emma, and she lives on a sailboat, she is sailing the world with another man (who i understand is married), and they have been in egypt before coming to lebanon. I met her by stepping on her feet, how nice is that!
We had a talk. I know we were both slightly drunk, but she still felt very special. It was one of the rare times a girl actually entertains me by what she said... and she talked a lot!
When she left, I wanted to give her my number, but had nothing to write it on, so she just left...
Today I was driving past the beirut marina, and saw a big, majestic sailboat slowly coasting out of the marina, all sails folded. It reminded me of her and I drove closer to the sea and got out of my car and watched it slowly float away. It may sound illogical, but I'm pretty sure that's her boat. There are a coupld of other places where you could park a sailboat, but this one is the most probable, and it was the only big sailing boat in the marina.
Now I'm sitting here and wondering what could have happened had i given her my number.
For some reason she felt more special then all the other girls I have ever met.

Mmm, nice way to meet someone, by stepping on one's feet, this is quite intriguing :) I understand the fact that you do not find it easy to connect with plain girls, who have nothing to say, and being so selective is good, in a way (ergh, most of the times men search for dumb girls; I was so humiliated when I found my fiancee in a restaurant with an ugly, plain and dumb girl who could not even say 3 words in English :)))) We speak in English, French and Arabic, he does not know Romanaian, and this is the only language that poor girl knows... loool, what a shame on me!!! I want him to cheat on me with a classy lady, not all kind of... but she was taller than me, guess this swept him off his feet). I got carried away, sorry! I want to tell you that you must never feel sorry for what it would have been. God has certain plans for everyone of us (ummm, I am Christian Orthodox, this is the religion I am born with, but I also read a lot about Islam in order to understand my fiancee and the society he lives in better; currently I am mixed/messed up from this point of view). And if you are supposed to meet Emma again, this will surely happen. It might be in 6 months, in a year, ouf, you never know. What I wanted to underline is that everything is relative in this world we live in. That we must enjoy all the good things we have lived and we live and open our hearts towards new ones. To have faith in God and in the day of tomorrow. To have patience. I guess you already know, but things that once seemed so steady for a couple of years can take a 360 degree turn in a couple of minutes.
Maybe she was on the 'majestic sailboat' you saw that day. Maybe you'll see her again and this story will develop... You never know what future has in hold for you. Do not be sorry that you could not give her your phone number, it just means this was not meant to happen now.
I do not know whether you believe in destiny or not. But a few years ago I was so pragmatic and realistic. And I realised that it was not my true nature, I was just a product of events and people around me.
If Emma seemed so special to you, it is possible that you might run into her again. Or step on her feet... Ergh, who knows?! Cheer up, life is exquisite no matter what :)
sorry bout your fiancee... well, maybe he was not cheating...
I dont search for dumb girls, maybe that's my problem :)
Men will love a girl that makes them laugh, as long as they can stay a bit feminine. Or girls that can connect.
Who wants to go out with someone when it's like a chore to keep a conversation with.
All the good things in my life happened when I was looking somewhere else. You dont get what you planned for, and even if you get it it's not necessarely what you need.
Well enough philosphy for today :-)
Take care
Oh and by the way if "things turn 360 degrees" you're pretty much where you started :-)
Not the 1st time i hear this mistake. 180 degrees it is ;-)
Hehe, you are more than right with that 360 degrees stuff :) Thx for telling me, next time I won't make the same mistake :) But Geometry has never been my cup of tea... in fact, Math has never been, I barely know how to multiply loool. But I highly respect people who are good at math.
Thx for symphatising with me in what my fiancee is concerned, but we got stuck in sort of 'cat and mouse game' when he was in my country. I always went hunting for his affairs, it was fun at a certain moment, but now there is nothing I can do, he is abroad and I cannot find a way to make my family let me go there. Anyway, most nice things should have a happy ending :)
Indeed, the good things come when one expects them less. And might I add something inspired by the Romanian folklorical wisdom: one can never have everything one desires.
"he is abroad and I cannot find a way to make my family let me go there"
Why, cant you do without your family's consent? :-) You're free after all.
But if you get to the point where you cant trust him when he's abroad then something is wrong in your relationship, I dont have experience in that field but I always hear that marriage is based on trust and you dont want to marry someone you cant trust.
Ummm, I know me and my fiancee have a problem. You see, I have not see him for a very long time, I am talking about years... And you might think I am crazy, but it is ok, phone calls, messages on mobile, e-mails and Messenger conversations manage to keep me interested into him. But he is currently residing in Dubai, and I cannot believe that he has been faithfull all this time, though he asserts he has been :) It is a complicated situation and I am very coward, I do not want to fight with my family so I can be with him. Thx for telling me what you heard about marriage, I heard the same, but I am terribly stubborn and I do believe that 'love conquers all'.
Why dont you see him for vacation?
You're an incredibly patient person :)
