A mini story with a question

So you are standing oh so lonely down the lonely road waiting for the bus. You just want to go home and as usual the bus runs late and your luck runs bad. And to top it all, it starts raining and you can find no shelter around. As usual when it rains you don't have your beautiful yellow umbrella with you. Only then do you notice this beautiful woman standing behind you and to your sides. She is leaning so close to the hedges that you have missed her until now.

She gives you a shy smile and looks away. You heart does not skip a beat - because it misses a whole set of beats. You pull in your stomach and push out your chest and try to look heroic with the rain battering your face. Then you take the file you've been trying hard not to get wet and walk towards her. You hold the file above her head to try and give some relief to her from the rain.

And then she really smiles and shows her white teeth which glimmer in the faint street light. You both get talking...

So the question here is, what would be the first thing you would have told her in this situation? Think carefully and reply meaningfully. This is a question that has many psychological implications.
