Dear Handsome Stranger in Target,
It was an ordinary Tuesday, one where I found myself running low on essentials like paper towels and patience. My heart craved a little sparkle, and where better to find it than Target? You were clearly there for the same reason. I noticed how you navigated the aisles with purpose, a little girl’s hand confidently clasped in yours—definitely a man on a mission. You seemed aware of the ticking clock in the store, knowing that kids can only last so long amidst the bright lights and endless aisles.
Your confident demeanor made me weak in the knees. As you paused in the housewares section, I saw an opportunity to inch closer. After all, I could always use another wine glass or a chic cutting board. The colorful ink adorning your arm caught my eye, compelling me to pick up my pace. I typically don’t pursue men, but let’s be honest—certain things will definitely ignite my curiosity.
You exuded a kind of charm that wasn’t loud or attention-seeking; it felt genuine. When you picked up that white platter (oh, how I adore white dishes!), I was tempted to share my collection story. But then I hesitated; who starts a conversation about dishware with a stranger? I’d probably end up saying something ridiculous like, “If you love that platter, wait till you see it with my delicious baked goods on it.” Clearly, I’m not cut out for this flirting business.
Moreover, I hadn’t yet glimpsed your left hand—just needed to ensure my Target goggles weren’t distorting my reality (the store has a magical way of making everything seem perfect). So, I chose to admire you from a distance, pretending to be interested in the Baked Lay’s in my cart.
That adorable little girl waiting patiently by your side suggested you frequent this place (marry me already!). As you scooped up a stack of white square plates (let’s build our dream home together, decorated with all things Target), I finally noticed your hand was ring-free.
This was my moment. I walked closer, convinced I would strike up a conversation. But as fate would have it, I just kept moving along. When our eyes locked across the kitchen utensils, and we both bit our Starbucks straws, I felt butterflies in my stomach—an exhilarating yet terrifying experience. I wanted to pull you in close and escape all at once.
As I approached the checkout line, it dawned on me; if the universe intended for us to share a kiss in aisle six, then it would happen without any force. I envisioned us enjoying margaritas at a cozy Mexican restaurant, followed by an impromptu Target spree on a carefree Friday night.
Just as I was about to leave, I spotted you in the Dollar Spot—watching me! But in a moment of clumsiness, I crashed my cart into the automatic doors. I longed to rush into your arms, but the moment had slipped away.
Now, as I drive home, I can’t help but lament not speaking to you while you were busy with your dishes. I cursed my inability to flirt and thought about turning back, pretending I’d forgotten something. Instead, I munched on a bag of Baked Lay’s, reflecting on what could have been.
Perhaps our paths will cross again. If they do, and you happen to be fondling a pillow, just know I’ll be ready.
Best wishes,
The Woman Who Regrets Letting You Slip Away.
