As a tween growing up in New York City, before I’d gotten the chance yet for a full-throated kiss, I used to have a romantic fantasy while riding the subway. I’d sit upright with my lips puckered, and imagine the train making a sudden emergency stop as the man of my dreams (who just happened to be holding the strap right in front of me) lurching forward into my arms for a passionate embrace. I’m waiting.

I love that! Now as a grown up on London’s tubes, I regularly see gorgeous guys and wish they’d say hello. Of course I suppose I could take the first step, but it’s only a day dream really…!
I’m all for taking the first step. That’s how dreams come true.
