Sixteen years ago almost to the day I was in Boston on winter break from my freshman year in college visiting my best friend from high school who was going to MIT. He and I were walking down the street when a very pretty girl coming the other way looked directly at me and smiled a warm, friendly smile. After she passed us my friend turn to me and asked, "Did you see the way she was smiling at you?" Yes I did. I most certainly did. And now, all these years later I still remember that girl. It was the first time I was aware of a total stranger showing an interest in me, and I think it changed the way I react around girls in general. Now I'm the one who is smiling and catching girls off-gaurd. So hey, smile at a stranger today for me, will you? Who knows, he or she might remember you for years to come.
