You wait so long for that moment. when u know a person and want to meet them. you rehearse what you will say;wondering if it would be the right thing. don't want to seem rude..want to make an (good) impression that will last. u rehearse it soo much so that the meeting happens in your dreams. but unexpectedly when that precise moment actually arrives, when opportunity presents itself out of the blue you are at a loss as to what to say. all that you have rehearsed is long gone. you wait..not wanting to start the conversation..don't want to seem too eager.(unconsciously)purposely or unknowingly or just because u don't want to talk something you need is gotten from the other end of the table from someone else.u wanted to met her for soo long..yet she sits next to you and has the object u need.you don't ask. she takes some of the stuff and places it near you without a word (wonder how it made her feel..u not asking it from her!)
a simple "thankyou" from initiates the long awaited conversation.
