Fact 1: After ignoring my sister's dog all week while she is out of town I'm forced to drive 15 miles out of my way this morning to finally check on the mut. This means I have to catch the train on the bad side of town.

Fact 2: After a long day of work, I get on the wrong train headed back in that unfamiliar direction. I realize this after one stop and immediately get off to catch the next train in the half-lit station.

Fact 3: A tall thin mocha Essence magazine-looking young woman is standing alone on the platform. No older than 28 and dressed in black Ann Taylor gear (I saw the tag from the sweater she was carrying). She's eating a Mrs. Fields cupcake thing with lots of sprinkles and sugar.

Fact 4: We're almost alone on the platform and she giggles. Obviously she knows I was on the wrong train and headed to Bankhead (think Compton minus the sun minus the rappers minus hope).

Fact 5: I ask her if she's laughing at me. She says no. I tell her that she's got icing on her face. She wipes nervously at her cute nose. There's nothing there but it's funny to see a total stranger fall for a third grade trick.

Fact 6: The train arrives and it's packed so we both have to stand. She's smiling and looking away. A tiny dark brown girl is selling candy out of plastic box for some club so that she can be named "Nubian Princess" or something like that. I buy my new friend a $1 Snicker bar that should've cost a quarter. She grins like I've handed her gold.

Fact 7: The train loses a few passengers at the next stop and there's room for us to sit down. I ask her name. She says "Michelle."

Fact 8: I learn in 3 stops that: Michelle is originally from Arizona, that her father is dying of a lung ailment in Phoenix, and her scarf is a Nicole Miller ripoff she bought in NY last summer.

Fact 9: We both ride to the last stop (as do most of the people on the train) and get off. As we walk down the stairs from the platform I ask her if she works downtown. She says no, that today she was on a job interview and she rarely goes that way.

Fact 10: As I'm about to part ways with my future wife I stop and finally introduce myself. I give her my card and tell her that if she gets the job to look me up for lunch sometime. She says sure and that her name is Michelle. I tell her I heard her the first time. She smiles and walks away.

Questions: Will she call? What is the role of serendipity in everyday life? Is my story true?

My girlfriend thinks that the above is the dream of a man that fell asleep on the train and that I'm trying to make her jealous.

She doesnt date guys that have to take the train.

I know I wouldn't.


Hey wait, I've got a car. A cool one too. Hope?
 
well, she probably has a man, and if she does then she probably won't call. but if she's single she might.
 
i voted that she'd call and you'd have to tell her about your girlfriend.

you're wonderfully charming.

no doubt, but she didn't ask his name and said she rarely "goes that way."










if'd been me and not Michelle i'd have taken him home with me and kept him ;)

Add the 'hope' back in.
 
Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps....

Bitchy and cynical as I can be, I sometimes believe in fate...

As for your girl, damn!

Don't know what to say.
 
She won't call. Unless she gets the gig and needs a free lunch before her first payday.

In situations like that you need to buy her coffee or dinner...stay with the deal, because if it's Kismet... well, you just have nothing you'd rather be doing, it's caution to the wind time!

Backup plan: Go to the platform every day for a week.

Problem: First you need to kill* and chop up the GF and stash her in the freezer in case you get lucky with Michelle.

* You have a GF, so obviously waiting at the station every day is impractical. Also, I do not recommend actually killing your gf or anyone for that matter. How cute is Michelle again?
 
If you told your girlfriend all about it, the new girl isn't someone you really consider to be your future wife. You'd feel more guilty if she was, I think.

And I vote "other." She'll call if you are taller than she is and won't call if you aren't.

Damn marxist...I dunno what to say here. I feel badly for you and your current non~flame, and I feel really good about your maybe/sorta/kinda new flame.:)
Guess you just have to sweat it out like the rest of us.;)
 
If you were serious about wanting to fuck her, then you wouldn't have given her the number to your's and your girlfriend's place.



I bet she'll call.

Are you sure you didn't mean your sister's cat? Dogs don't usually do a good job of taking care of themselves for most of a week.
 
shell never call.... most women never do take the innitiative on that department and unless you have number and you take the time to use it youll never hear from her again.


my question is that if you already have a GF why would you flirt with someone on a train?
 
Ok...so how about this. She loses your card. I know, it's tragic.

BUT...

3 years from now, after an unfortunately break up with your current gf (from which you'll recover, slowly but surely. Turns out she ran off with a circus performer. Bitch.) you're back on that train going to your sister's to take care of her mutt.

You see Michelle again, only now her scarf isn't a knock off (cuz she got that job and has been promoted in the intervening time!) and she remembers you!

She tells you how your card was mercilessly ripped from her hand by a freak wind shear 3 years ago, but how she never forgot the charming guy (hey, it's fantasy, dammit!) she met on the train who made her giggle and bought her an overpriced snickers bar from a future Nubian princess.

This time you tell her that you're not letting her out of your sight and you drag her off for a lovely dinner, followed by a nostalgic slice of snicker pie (ok, my fantasy that time). She tells you that she was actually engaged at the time you met her, but the guy turned out to be a clown who ran off with this other guy's gf. You talk and realize that it was your gf with whom he ran off. See? Kismet!

You marry, have 18 kids and live happily ever after. =)

That's my favorite part. How can a woman have 18 kids and be happy? LOL

She got a promotion at work remember?? Think nanny. Ok, maybe a batallion of nannies.

Hey, I tried...

Honestly? I hope she calls. There's nothing in the relationship rulebook that says you can't make a friend. =)
