Which mode of transportation do we take when looking for someone?

This morning seemed to be like any other morning when I am on my way to school. I get up, prepare and go. I usually take 4 modes of transportation to go to school and these are:
  1. Tricycle
  2. FX
  3. MRT - Train
  4. Jeepney
As I said, this morning seemed to be like a usual morning but something incredible just happened. I was standing on the platform waiting for my train and suddenly someone who is rather good looking, stood beside me by my side and just went on brushing my arms and hands in a discreet manner. Ahuh. I resisted a bit but I did enjoy the feeling of it all, of course with keen attention to my phone and wallet. I thought it wouldn't last long as I thought he won't be able to sit beside me (swarm of fellow commuters behind us grasping for a seat) and a train is fast approaching. Well that was what I thought, he was beside me and I knew something was in need of what we sometimes neglect to use: Brain.

"0923......" He typed on his phone then flashed it to me.
"Sorry dude, I'm taken" I typed on my phone and flashed it...
"Can we be friends?" .... He asked...
"Nope, thanks anyways" ... I just wanted to end it.

Despite the possible benefits I could have earned, I could have earned something else as well. Go imagine it yourself. With a stranger, the possibilities could take you somewhere you ought of regret. Of course there are gazillions of success stories out there but, simply, I ain't that needy.

So where do we find that other half who would correspond? I don't know and it will solely depend on our own unique circumstances, but I could enumerate a few ways, okay lets:
Internet, cruising areas, public toilets, parties, friends, school, church, office etcetera.

Here's my take on it:

Me, put me on an experiment, one person but two completely different manner of meeting. Let's say through internet and the other through classmates.

As far as I can imagine, I feel that I wouldn't feel the same about the two possible relationships, even if any other factors remain constant.

There's just something I feel that makes things more romantic and luscious about a relationship had life thought of a way for the two of you to meet and I want this, I have felt this before (of course there are exceptions but this is my take on it).

Just like a circumstance I had where I met him in a kitchen, me cooking and him washing his dishes* (this is another story). It was just so incredibly magical from how things started and to how it dissipated.

I had a DowneLink account, but I don't have one anymore.

Its something I found amusing at first and believed to be the mode that will take me where he is. But I want to listen to my experience and learning now. Yes it will be more difficult, but just like last time, every single ounce of patience will be worth it.

Who knows? Right after this I might just go and find one online and eat these all up. But anyway so I'll just prefer to ride life's roller coaster to get there, it will twist and turn and roll you up and make you hurl but in the end you feel bliss.
