Have you ever met someone you immediately click with?
This afternoon on the train back to Montreal I was planning to study. I had my notes out, four and a half hours to fill, and the guy beside me was quiet: half asleep, listening to his MP3 player. Things couldn't have been more perfect. But when we stopped in Cobourg, my sleeping friend got off the train and this gorgeous girl got on, and decided she would sit beside me.
I was a little frustrated when she started up a conversation, but soon realized that I was in for a treat. We chatted the entire way to Montreal. I think I looked back at my books twice during the ride, but don't regret not studying. Jen is really... real. She has an incredibly beautiful personality and it just makes her that much more physically attractive. She's intelligent and funny. She's strong, but at the same time open about her weaknesses. She's a genuine person.
She grew up in Montreal, the eldest of 6 girls. Her family now lives in Cobourg. She grew up with loving parents, but wasn't close with her father. She longs for male attention the way I do. She's had her heart broken once or twice. She wants to find a Godly man and get married, but feels she isn't grown up enough yet. She shared with me some of the stuff that she feels still needs working on. This girl is going to make a great wife and mother someday. We talked about school, family, love, broken hearts :'(, and a lot of God stuff. It was just what I needed. She reminded me of God's power, his sovereignty.
I don't know how to describe it, but there's something special about the connection we have. Something that transcends regular relationships. She's someone who I could be really good friends with. I sure hope we stay in touch.
What is that Clicking Factor? Why I am so drawn to this one person who I met on a train? Does the clicking factor change for connections between members of the opposite sex?

yeah! I've met someone with whom I just clicked...
see there was this girl, at frosh last year... she won this fast paced physical game in a SKIRT... and then sang harmony at Taize... and brought her own lunch when we ate at Wendy's... and then we sat in a park and she told me about how she gave up a spot in the professional dance world to persue her Engineering degree...
And to tell you the truth, I really don't know what the Click Factor is. But I'm confident that the being real bit has a lot to do with it. ;)
Love you!
oh yeah... After the "Engineering degree..." part of the last post, I meant to add:
And for some reason, I just knew at that moment, that we had clicked. For real.
Funny, I recall having a similar clicking moment with this Lutheran horn player on a bus full of musicians headed to Banff... *grin*
Julie! I love you!
It's true... we did click right away. You forgot to mention the hours we spent lying on the grass at the Impact camping trip :).
