Comments on: The Girl I See Every Day on the Train https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/the-girl-i-see-every-day-on-the-train/ Humor blogger D.J. Paris writes about the most interesting subject in the world - himself. It's worth a look if you're cool. And you are! Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:53:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Melissa https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/the-girl-i-see-every-day-on-the-train/#comment-12471 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:53:46 +0000 https://thoughtsfromparis.com/?p=4596#comment-12471 how am i just finding your blog?
and how are you the male version of me?
my fave part of your recent ‘vlog’ was you saying that this ‘supermodel,’ talked a lot and really fast like you, and you were disappointed. totally relatable…don’t ever call me, you would be highly disappointed.
i cannot stop laughing at your randomness and tangents.
I get the cat pee issue.Lillian, my cat….she likes to urinate on barbie clothes and winter coats that the kids leave out. personally i think its her big f you for me having some offspring, but i feel your pain. and i go after the kids…’well if you would pick up your things, she wouldn’t pee on them.’ perhaps a tarp to cover the entire playroom is a good investment? let me know how that tarp thing is working for you, because throwing ken’s swim shorts in the laundry is getting a little more ridiculous then rolling out a tarp every night.

as you were writing about the tarp on the bed i felt the need for a service annoucement free of charge. since you are doing this whole online dating gig what happens if you bring the impromptu girl back to your place after you know your 7th or 8th date, not the first of course, you’re totally a gentleman and you forget about the tarp? im thinking about how that probably wouldn’t be really hot to throw her down on your bed forgetting the piss tarp was there. definite mood killer…you might want to relocate the cats love seat to another room.

enough random. we totally just met and i am giving you tarp placement advice.
thanks for the smile.

We’d spend the fifty or so miles passing one another, every single morning. I have since stopped commuting, and I never did get to my exit while in front of him. Talk to nose stud girl.

Taking a wide stance on a subway train does help you keep your balance! Just sayin’!

It might be because of the comment “I take care of my own” and erection in the same paragraph. :/

That’s not creepy at all and who knows? You might end up having an interesting conversation one day! 🙂

Move up slowly (over, say the next two months or so)  to a “good morning” and a tip of your hat (you will need to get a hat). If she doesn’t respond, nothing lost and she doesn’t think you’re a stalker.
Either way, please report back!
Most people, I think,  would welcome a little non-creepy human contact during the inhumanity that is public transport.

I live in NYC and had to take two buses to get to high school. The first was us normal kids and working class people, the second snobby private school  girls. Never spoke to anybody on eeither but I recall watching for some of the working people, knowing which stops they got on, and wondering if they were sick or just late if they weren’t at their stop. We always had the same bus driver and although I never spoke to him or vice-versa, the “grown ups” did. Looking back to those days, I agree, even if you are adorable, you’ll freak the nose stud girl out and ruin your relationship if you acknowledge her.

Doesn’t have to be major – a jolt where everyone lurches to one side, you look at her and say ‘whoa!’ in that way that strangers do. Or catch your dog looking at her, and follow his gaze and do the quick no-teeth smile, as in, ‘you must be OK if my dog likes you’….Not that I’ve thought about this or anything!!

I always caught the same train, same car, every morning and I started recognizing the same guy waiting on the platform with me. Per the usual mass transit rules, we didn’t make eye contact or acknowledge each another for the first several months. Eventually, he was kind enough to say good morning, a greeting that seemed harmless enough so I responded. Then one morning, I was climbing up to the platform and the friendly guy met me at the top and explained that they had just announced the train was stopped indefinitely, but if we hurried, we could beat the rest of the platform to a cab and share a ride downtown. Awesome! On the cab ride downtown, we swapped business cards and names, and so began a lovely acquaintance. After the cab ride, we chatted every morning on the train and it made for a nice start to the day.
Unfortunately, I started going to work an hour later and don’t run into him anymore. I do still follow his blog posts, though…so food for thought. (He writes historical pieces…no competition for your awesomeness, I promise). Moral of the story, if you catch cute girl’s eye wish her a ‘good morning’, retreat to your corner and pray for the day mass transit will fail again so you can be the hero with the last remaining cab!
