Train Ride...
The train pulled in on a different track this morning. It's a big deal because I like to sit in the same seat (by the window), and the same car everyday. (So what, I'm a creature of habit.) And it's hard to figure that out when the train is on a different track. Anyway, I believed that I was on the right car, and squeezed by a large dude that was sittin next my favorite seat.
Anyway...he raised his head and referenced the amount of sugar that I was placing in my coffee, after he lifted his head from the book he was reading. I busted out laughing, slightly out of embarassment, cause I was thinking, damn how many packs DID I put in my lil' cup.
Anyway we began chit chatting about various things, one being getting sick. I politely shared the story about me suffering from food poisoning and throwing up all over myself in my car. And then we talked about youth, getting old, alcohol, blessings, cooking, siblings etc. It was quite enjoyable. I thought, hummm, what a cool dude. Just tryna survive. Only the lawd knows what he thought about me.
But it made me think, hummm, why don't women (strangers) have decent miscellaneous convo. I mean if it does happen, it's either about men, children, or talkin bout people. Maybe it's just me. But I rarely if ever have decent conversations with female strangers. Do I bond better with men? I know that sounds crazy coming from someone who dates women, but I'm talking about outside of a relationship. Hmpf.
In conclusion as we reached his stop, he asked if we could exchange numbers and I politely said no, gave him a pound (cause I had been wiping my nose the whole time) and wished him farewell. I didn't think he was out of line. But I just thought, dang, why can't men and women be friends. Why does it always have to go somewhere else? I hate that. Because I like hangin out with guys.
It's so unfortunate to me. It's like dag, are my male-female interactions going to be confined to a train ride. Am I ever going to be friends with a male again?
Anyway. Just something that I was thinkin bout.
Oh well.

*sigh* Can men and women be friends without it having to go anywhere? Good question! Why can't strange women have meaningless convo? Good question. I can only speak for myself. I'm not friendly and I know this and I'm working on it. Funny you posted this because I was in Walmart and this older lady started talking to me in line and in my head I was like "lawd have mercy please stop talking to me!" and really she wasn't talking about anything really. Just being friendly. It's wierd! My question to you is why didn't you give him your number if y'all had such a good convo?
Aw. That was nice. But own get why you didn't give dude your number. I ask because you said you like hanging out with guys, and you didn't feel like dude was out of line for asking, which means you felt comfortable talking to him. So why can't you talk to him again?
Somewhere in the back of your mind were you thinking he really wants your clit?! LMAO @ that - but you know why I'm saying it!
Aw @ the whole story. Thank God for the wrong side of the track that morning!
And actually DM hit on what part of the issue is, I think. Some women just aren't friendly. Some women walk around with too much on their mind, in their heart and on their shoulder, so they're already anti. We just need to chill, really. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's just too early in the morning, or sometimes, you really do want to sit in quiet, but most of the time, we just bein a bytch!
Like somebody thinkin about our azz.
