Far Out

November 20th, 2008

I was on the 7 train this morning and then they announced on the train that it was going to turn around. Then this hippie-ish dude came up to me and started asking me details about what was being announced. He told me to look at a map with him and he was babbling on. We got to 45th road to switch and he was babbling more, guessing what kind of music I listen to, then talking about Woodstock and getting high.

We were going the same direction I guess, when I got off on 53rd street, he asked for my number and I said I don’t give it out. And he asked me if I was seeing someone and I said yes – that I moved out here with him. He then asked if I lived with him, like “duh, yeah…” I moved here for him.

Then he’s like:

“Ohhh you like the big firefighter guys (my boyfriend is a firefighter) because then you can feel protected…”

“I’m just like, well, we were together b4 he was a firefighter, and so I wasn’t w/ him cuz of that”

Then he asked if I had ever given my number out to a guy…just a bunch of dumb questions, then he had to get on another train and I was exiting the station.  So he is like, promise me you will email me (for the 5th time asking) and I said I’d think about it and then he hugged me –eww…and he was like 40, really, maybe 45…

Really.

Did he really think he had a chance?

  1. They always think they have a chance. I’ve totally had a guy look at me when I said “no” for my phone number or whatever and ask, “Wait? Don’t you find me attractive?” He was dead serious.
