People are strange....

So I met this girl on the train. We were both standing and its busy, and we're all stuck in this hot, stinky, sadness trap, when we hit one of the many curves that the train takes going full speed and this little chineese girl falls right into me. She smiles at me, as I catch her and kind of put her back upright. I kinda smiled back and continued listening to my morning music, trying to ramp myself into a working mood.  At that point I feel my earphones kinda beeing pulled on, so I thought it was off my bag. I looked and the girl is pulling on them, she saw the shirt I had underneath my hoodie and guessed where I worked.  Turns out she was heading to the same place to make a purchase.

We get off the train and walk and we talk about what she's looking for, and other getting to know you whatnot, and I tell her I'd help her once I punch in and come up to the sales floor, but in the meantime I can give you my card. So I give her the card, she asks if the number at the bottom is mine. I said no, but it could be. And there you go. Thats how things are done.

So we talk and text, and agree to meet. But before then, almost a week in, she tells me that she's been, married for 11 years and is recently divorced. I shit you not. So I'm like, well divorced is a welcome change of pace. So I say, no big deal. And we continue on, until.. a day after that she tells me she has two children from that past marriage. 

My question is this, why not tell me that in the first conversation we have? Why wait a week in and then tell someone. I'd rather someone got out right away after knowing something about me they didnt want to know, than to string them along for a week. 

Anyway, tomorrow is our first date. I still dont know how I feel about the kids, but I'm interested enough to know more about her.  Dinner at a noodle shop, and drinks at the beercade. Should be fun. :)
