Updated: Train boy

(This image is from the film brief encounter if your not familiar )

I just wanted to post a very quick update on a previous post .Perhaps if an influx of people suddenly start reading ( not likely ) they might want to know what happened with train boy? well this will be a very short post I'm sorry to say.

I waited till Sunday Morning ( roughly 48 hours post meeting ) ,I know I should have waited till Monday but I couldn't and it made no difference anyway .Out of the interest ,here is the quite frankly very friendly non stalkerish message I send him.

''Hello train boy ,bet you didn't think I'd actually look you up ( wah stalker alert !) dam this modern technology eh.I hope you got that best mate speech sorted in the end & the wedding went well 


p.s did you use the ''even the cake is crying '' in the end ..*shakes head*



p.s.s I'm the girl from Southampton to Reading in case there was an equally odd girl on each leg of your journey 

Needless to say ,he didn't reply and it is now Tuesday .There is no excuse for having not done so if he was going to by now .The only excuse I would expect would be death or sudden deployment to the outer Hebrides  (he was navy') .Everyone has facebook connected to there phone these days ,so I have no doubt he would have got the message almost instantly.He's just rude and thinks I'm mental,what else did I expect from a good looking matelot ? Been there done that ,got the t shirt covered in tears ( how dramatic!)

I'll just put it down to an entertaining chance encounter and not that I meet my soulmate on a train or anything equally ridiculous .It is not doubt karma for not plucking up the courage to end things with person currently in my life who is most definitely not my soulmate.

Chance Encounters.


Love isn't easy to find ,especially when your constantly searching for it .They say you should just wait and it will turn up when you least expect it .How do you know that the chance encounter you just had isn't something more significant ? Or do you go out on a limb and hope for the best ? Seize the day and similar cliches.

This weekend was tale of two halves a possible ending and possible beginning.All with in  the space of 24 hours .I started out on my three train ,two hour journey to visit my current "romantic interest '' ,unfortunately my visit was supposed to be the end of this current situation.The distance and a general lack of feelings on my part mean that it must come to end soon.It's just that breaking up & hearts ,well it's kind of hard who knew?

My second train,the bulk of my journey was a busy one travelling between two larger cities with multiple connections and I was forced to share a table with a stranger.He remained a stranger for around 30 seconds ,he smiled and we instantly began chatting. If you had happened to walk past yesterday you would be forgiven for thinking we were already friends. We chatted about everything it was possible to in an hour or so,there were also were outrageous amounts of eye contact .We told each other lots of silly stories and embarrassing tales ( he showed me his cringeworthy power ballad collection,his face almost touching mine has we lent over his Ipod together )

''I can't believe I'm saying this to a stranger '' we said several times .It was like being on the easiest date in the world and there was no alcohol involved at all .Who says we need social lubricant to meet anyone these days? 

I managed to establish most of the vitals were he lives,his occupation and relationship status without trying.He also gave me his full name ,making it easy to contact him ( yes I've facebook stalked already,who wouldn't?  ) .I was genuinely sad when the train pulled in at my stop and I had to leave him ,his journey a full 3 hours longer than mine .I was sadder than when I left my current ..well I'm not really sure what he is that is another story for a different blog post.

I've yet to decide what to do ,do I leave it has a chance encounter with a lovely guy ? Do I sent a friendly message on Monday? .The worst he can do is not reply right? or will I look like crazy stalker train girl?
