I would give up all my worldly possessions if a girl 1/10th as beautiful as her would even glance at me

It feels like at least once or twice a day I'll see a really beautiful girl, walking past me or maybe on the bus. Then you need to play the game, where they're so beautiful but you can't look too long because starring at them is creepy- especially when you're an ugly man like me- but you can scarcely look away. It's like asking a man not to stare at an amazing vista or painting. You catch as many glances as possible without coming across as creepy. If it's happening on the bus, it always ends the same way. She's getting off before you, and you allow yourself to look at her until she's out of sight because fuck it, you will never see each other again. You haven't managed to stamp out that pathetic hope that she'll look at you. She never does.
