The Waiting Game
So the story it this. You’re out with this girl on a date. The usual stuff, day at the mall, eat, catch a movie, walk around aimlessly and talk about almost anything and yet not run out of things to say.
Eventually one of you has to go to the toilet. Its only natural to do so. And so you find for that little signboard that shows the male and female symbols. You walk, have small talk, and obviously go your separate ways when you reach the toilet itself. Usually what I’d do is to take the opportunity to have a quick glance at yourself. Fix your hair, check teeth for any food leftovers(and cringe if there were any), tell yourself to calm down(if you’re nervous), take an awesome pee and basically that’s it. Of course you have to make the session quick, not good to make a lady wait.
But the girl always takes longer anyway. And there you are outside waiting for her. Some guys are in the same situation. Staring at the floor, silently acknowledging each other’s presence and understanding what they are going through.
One by one the guys leave with their dates, till your own comes out.
And that moment has a weird effect to me. Knowing that she could be spending her time elsewhere doing something else, with someone else, and yet she chose to be with me anyway.
No matter how often it happens, it still strikes me every time.
The weird toilet entrance incident. Maybe you should take notice sometime.
