On my way in to work this morning, I took a break from listening to Spanish radio (I have fantasies of one day understanding what they are saying), and decided to listen to some talk radio. So, here's how the story went:
Dude calls into the radio station with an issue. Last year, he met some girl on a flight to Oakland, and they totally hit it off. He's a triathlete, so is she, etc etc. They stay in touch via Facebook, writing several times a week. He's feels very connected to this girl. Well, a month or so later, Guy is back on the same flight out to Oakland and, "big surprise", the girl is on the same flight! (Insert several "who's stalking who" comments here). They talk the whole flight and he realizes that, wow, he really likes her. The only issue is that she is engaged to be married! The wedding is supposed to go down in July.
His conundrum: does he tell her how he feels?
The radio DJs told him NOT TO TELL HER!
Ok- let's put aside the fact that I think this guy is full of shit and by "sending messages on Facebook," he really means that he and this chick met up once or twice (maybe more) in the last year. Let's pretend that he's not a crazy stalker and she is happily engaged. My issue is that she is only engaged! Why would they advise him not to say anything to her? The girl ain't married yet and, as I see it, if there's no wedding ring, it's still Game On. They essentially gave this guy the worst advice ever.
"Dude, say nothing, and wonder for the rest of your life if you had a chance."
Aces. We are raising a bunch of wimps in America. Don't fight for the girl. Hell, don't even take a chance on her! Enjoy living your entire life just wondering.
Am I the only person who thinks this is screwy?

This story made me LOL while I was at work. When I first met your sister (what I thought was the first time) back in college, she told me about her older sister that was enganged to get married. Since I was just getting out of a pretty bad relationship I told her well shes just engaged no big deal give me her number.. Well we all know how the story ends. But when it comes down to it people are afraid to take the next step because they are afraid of ending a friendship but you never know the reward unless you take the risk.
ReplyDeleteI agree. You never know the reward unless you take the risk. People are ridiculous with their lack of risk-taking. this is AMERICA, folks! Balls to the walls!
