Take the risk, You will know

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

I was in my twenties, was at an old English fashioned style pub, in a foreign country, I was having a snack, and there was this girl with a group of her friends playing pool, she was gorgeous.

An old guy sat next to me, and said to me” how long do you plan on just watching her?” I was startled, turn around this old guy I think in his seventies, “ he looked at the girl and said “you been looking at her and doing nothing “ I said “what can I do?” he told me “ you can go ahead and start a conversation maybe buy her a drink, if I was your age I would ” my question then “ what if she said no?” He just looked away and said “ at least you will know and move on”

So I did, went to the pool table and asked if I could join playing with the winner, they said okay we chatted introduced myself the happened to be visiting too. The funny thing is she told me after few games “ I was wondering when you would come over “ “Really?!” I was surprised

I saw the old guy on his way out and gave me the thumbs up, he told me” at your age you need to take some risks, so you don’t waste your time on, what could’ve or would’ve, and spend your energy on something that works “ I thanked him

I had made new friends best vacation memories were made.

After that I started taking more risks and being more confident cause risks works with almost everything we going through being it a job , meeting your future wife, or just a free pie.
