autoethnographic vignette of ger and simply eye contact from a distance 💑

I walked across the car park on the other side of the bar and saw ger in the smoking area. I kind of watched him until he noticed then we locked eyes in a way that seemed to mean "we are getting together no matter what". I was with dad going for pizza and he was out with the regulars.

Maybe our lives are so separate it's hard to find a crossing point. 

He was ignoring everyone around him then as was I. 

What this means is that two worlds actually need to collide for an introduction to occur. And my family might not approve. Dad had even recently voiced disdain for ger in particular after seeing him playing petanq. 

Owing to this circumstance, we are in a romcom narrative. 

Furthermore this all means life happens within strict limits. 

Sociologically we are from different backgrounds, interests and income limits. 

So we need a disaster or a national news excuse to interact. 

Society is so flawed this way.
