I need to carry “business cards” with me on the run with my phone
number on them. There have been too many missed opportunities to disseminate
them to honkers.
Like this one, for example. I had the right of way to cross the
street, so I continued running and waved to the car as courteous gesture. The guy
rolled his window down and said, “Ladies first.” Tuned into Enrique Iglesias’s
music, I tuned out this guy’s voice! Then it finally registered. About 10
seconds later—as the car is halfway up the hill and as I am halfway down the
road—I turn around and shout, “thank you!”
Fail.
I was so shocked of what he said. Chivalry is not dead! There is
hope!
I did not get a good look at him because it was dark. But love is
blind. I want to marry him regardless of appearance. I should put a “missed connection” on Craigslist.
Keepin’ it real,
Realist
But would you really want to hand out your number to a guy unless he asked for it deliberately? I think about missed connections too, but I figured if a guy really wanted to reach me, he'd have asked or he'd come find me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but in this case it's so quick like you have a second to talk. He may have thought I would not stop and keep running, which is usually the case with runners. So I think the runner has to show interest. And then run away and see if he calls.
