The man is tall and handsome. He looks down at me and smiles. And I am lost in his blue eyes ! I could hear ocean waves crashing. I like him! Should I ask him for coffee or walk away ?

Well, ask him for coffee, but first look and see if he is wearing a wedding ring. I like how you ended this in a sijo-like way, Constance. Congrats in my contest.
