I fell in love tonight.

Admittedly, that is not so unusual. When you’re surrounded by such beauty, you have a tendency to fall in love every night.

Tonight was no exception. Except...

There was a connection. Again, not so unusual. I’ve experienced amazing connections before.

Yet, I really didn’t know how to handle this one.

Jen was out on a date—guessing from the snippets of conversation overheard, a first date. Possibly even an app date.

As far as those kinds of dates go, and from what I observed, it didn’t necessarily go badly. I don’t think it’ll go anywhere, but I’ve been wrong about those too.

Yet I think I’ll see her again.

My question, however, is this: How does someone go about giving a girl his phone number when she’s clearly on a date?

And you’re the waiter? And he’s buying (i.e. leaving the tip)? How could I have handled this differently?

For what it’s worth, she did stop me to exchange names before they left—in separate vehicles. Yes, I think I’ll see her again. I certainly hope so...

Yet, I need to find a way to act in these moments, as many/most relationships don’t last forever. And she and I both deserve a beautiful experience with each other. And I cannot just let these opportunities keep slipping by.
