It really sucks that you have to go through all that, Youkai. Sympathies to your wife too, Abibde.

So something interesting happened to me the other day. I was waiting for a bus at the station, wearing my shirt I got working with a convention/charity last year (it had a child-drawn picture of Wonder Woman on it). I'm reading manga on my tablet when I suddenly hear "I like your shirt. ..Oh! WEEB!"

I look up and there's a girl wearing a Zelda shirt, asking me what manga I was reading. (Happy Sugar Life; idk if anyone's read it or watched the anime but it's freaking nuts.) She seemed a little surprised that I was reading something shoujo-ish since most people are just about shounen.

She was the really extroverted type; barely ever stopped talking. We discussed other subjects like conventions, Zelda apparel (I have a wallet), and she showed me some of her cosplay on her phone. We only had about five minutes before her bus came along, and she departed with a "bye, fellow weeb!"

I enjoyed her company despite being caught off guard by the whole exchange. Now, there is a part of me that potentially wants to pursue it further; I didn't get her number or anything, but we share a few Facebook friends thanks to a convention Facebook page. But I'm mostly leaning toward dropping it for a few reasons.

- common sense says it was just a random one-time encounter
- she wasn't really my type; I don't smoke and she reeked of cigarettes. And she talked about some "cool dude" who gave her some weed a few minutes ago, and I'm a huge square
- at one point she complained that said guy tried to make a move on her, because he was like 40 and she's 20. I'm 33, but that's still a big difference, and I didn't want to be a creeper

For the last point, the thing is, I don't feel my age at all. (TBH, I don't know how old I feel; I feel immature around people my own age, but occasionally feel old in different ways around young people.)

I don't know; maybe I'm overthinking it. If I do decide to find her, there's always Facebook.
