Of A Girl On A Train
I recently was on the train returning home from town.
A woman (probably late 20’s-early 30’s) and professionally dressed, was talking on her cellphone as she took a seat directly behind me.She was a loud talker. You know the type. She also was an active listener, reflecting back to the person she was talking to, what she heard them say.Which meant I was privy to a fairly personal conversation.And it was heartbreaking.She was trying to work out with him, when she was going to see him next. And he was avoiding.“I’m on a 2-day hypnosis retreat this weekend”.Really?And then a little bit later in the conversation she pleaded “Can we make love?”, and then in a more desperate tone “When????”.And his response? Reflected: “We’ll see.”.WE’LL SEE??? WTF???Ok. If a physically attractive woman (and she was, just so you know), pleads for sex, and the guy responds with a “We’ll see”, things are not actually that good in your relationship.The call ended shortly after.I sat there. Stewing.My brain was screaming... “Don’t get involved. Don’t get involved. Don’t get involved...”But I couldn’t do it. I had to say something. I have had too many female friends on this same path.So, before my stop, I turned around and said “Excuse me, you’re probably going to hate me, and it’s none of my business, but I couldn’t help but overhear most of your conversation...”It could have been bad. People don’t generally like strangers getting up in their business. But this time it wasn’t. She knew she deserved better. She knew it was a bad relationship.I don’t know if I helped her or not. But I can’t actually sit idle while women let guys be indifferent towards them. I know from personal experience how involved women can get in a relationship and how much disrespect they’ll put up with. All for a guy.It’s not right. And it is absolutely not worth it.Women. Don’t let guys treat you like this. There is little or no chance of you changing him. Or winning him over. Or making him fall in love with you. But always remember that he is not your last chance at finding love.And guys, don’t string women along. If you’re not that into her, be honest. Tell her. It is hard as us males tend to avoid ‘emotional’ conversations. But it is necessary.And for the record. I didn’t take advantage of her vulnerable emotional state. She doesn’t have my number. Or my name. And I don’t travel by train that regularly.Two strangers, passing by.Your thoughts?- S
