A one way meeting

A short story.......
So I had been communicating with a gentleman for a few days when I mentioned I was going to see a local band. He said he had seen them before and had noticed they were playing and thought he might go along too with his mates. So it seemed like a good opportunity to say Hi without it actually being a first date. Perfect. Easy. Simple. As he admitted he was quite shy I thought this random hello meeting would be a good way to break the ice.
So the night arrived, and I made a good effort to like good. Once inside the bar I became a bit nervous and made sure I had my back to the door so I wasn't watching EVERY man who walked in. It was tough though and I started to think it was a bad idea! I had seen a couple of pictures of him but in each one he looked completely different. So every guy who walked past was potentially him! I had arrived major early to have a gossip with my friends and so text him to find out what time he was planning on being there. He said around 10, so I settled into enjoying the band and a good night out.

Finally around 10.45 I received a text from him saying "Wow very sexy,nice legs". See, I had been thoughtful and sent him a picture of what I was wearing so he could spot me. I smiled and tried not to look around too much and just replied with "Thank you. So where are you?" His response "Not far from you. I'm shy and you are way out of my league"
On principle I was determined not to turn round and look too hard for him. I was slightly miffed that he didn't have the balls so to speak to stick his neck out and just say Hi. I was even more put out by the fact that from that moment on I knew he was watching me and I didn't know where he was. It was a bit off putting! I text him as we were about to leave and said "I'm off now and I cant believe you didn't say Hi." I must have walked passed him on my way out but I stuck to my guns and didn't look for him.

Talk about a wasted opportunity! It was like a one sided date! He could see me but I was blind to him ! Believe me I wont be suggesting that idea again!
