Long Romantic Walks to the Comic Store

Lady, you might just be one in a million.

I saw a woman in the comic book store the other day and after I’d recovered from the shock, I plucked up all my courage and went over to her.

She was flicking through back issues so I went to the other side and trying my best to make it seem like an accident, I made sure our flicking hands met.

As we got to the same book we glanced at each other and had a little laugh, she apologised and moved to the next row along.

“My fault” I said and switched to the same row.

“You’re doing that on purpose” she said as we reached the middle at about the same time.

I had to confess, yes, I was doing it on purpose. Suddenly I wasn’t so interested in comic books as getting to know this girl so I asked her what she was looking for. We talked for ages, debating the merits of our favourite heroes until she asked me the same question.

As for me, I was looking for that special someone who I could take on long romantic walks to the comic store. The rest, as they say, is history.

Or it would be. If this story was true I’d count myself the luckiest nerd in the multiverse.

As it happens I’m still waiting for this girl, and in the meantime I hope she finds this T-shirt to let me know.
