coming back from australia via HNL a few years back I board the 767 and get 23 or 24 C. I get to the seat and notice a very cute girl sitting 1 row behind me. I smile, say hi and sit down. A very nice little old lady comes and sits down beside me and I think to myself why oh why ? Then this big brutish bearded backpacker on a world tour type of guy comes and sits down beside the cute girl behind me. I turn around and politely ask him if he wouldn't mind switching seats with me so that I could sit beside my friend. He obliges and we switch. The girl was surprised by my forward moves but didn't complain and we sat together for the long, long flight. We had a nice conversation, shared a drink and a few kisses then she fell asleep in my lap while I stroked her hair. We got off the plane in HNL where I was staying for a few days and she was going on to YVR. We hung out together for a while before she got back on the plane. We exchanged numbers and she left me with a passionate kiss. It was one of those all time great kisses if you know what I mean. I never called her after that as the experience itself was perfect and I didn't want to spoil the memory. Kinda like in that Julie Delpy / Ethan Hawk movie Before Sunrise.
