Once It's Over... It's Over... Isn't it... 🤔

Once It's Over... It's Over... Isn't it... 🤔

Note : A F F is deleting words in the t.ext. Please be patient.

She was... a perfect view. A woman, I would have been proud... to have draped, over my shoulders. She was standing tall... my height. Her black dress, hugged every subtle curve, of her body. Anyone would notice, her 'better than perfect posture'. You know... the type you'd see, in gymnasts or ballerinas? Her eyes, were deep, brown pools. I could loose myself, in those. I looked away. I was slightly taken aback... when she turned to me and spoke.

"You were here first. Go ahead. I'm in no rush," she smiled.

"Neither am I. You look, as if you're on you're way to somewhere."

"No. Actually... I'm on my way back ... from somewhere," she nodded.

I took a step closer. I put my energy drink and nature bar, on the counter... next to the cashier and reached for my wallet. I guess... I must have created a slight breeze. She looked amused, as she spoke.

"You're wearing the same cologne, I bought for a boyfriend... once."

"Really? He sounds, like a lucky guy!" I replied.

"He was... lucky, for a while," she laughed. "I've moved on. Now... he's just a friend. Someone, I once knew."

The cashier, stood there and watched us. No one else, was in the store. I pulled out my credit card. She spoke again.

"Actually... I just accidentally, ran into him, at a restaurant. It was his birthday. A friend of mine, tried to get us back together. What a mistake. HUGE... mistake!"

"I know what you mean," I replied. You could have just sent him a card, or called him," I tried to make a joke.

"For me... once it's over, it's over. And I'm not into, touching someone, over the phone. I pushed away. He's still pulling," she feathered a stray hair, from her eye brow.

I'd paid. I waited, while she did the same. Reaching into her purse, she pulled out her wallet. "Pump number four."

She paid, then turned and brushed my arm... as she spoke.

"Nice meeting you. I really love ... that cologne. Don't give it up."

Flashing a silken smile, she strut her way out the door. I watched... as she stepped into her car.

Something she said, struck me. Is it possible, to touch someone... over the phone? If I was her 'ex' ... even a phone call from her, might keep me going.

I was halfway to my car, when I realized something. Damm...! I'd forgotten to buy, a Lotto ticket. I trudged back inside. I looked at the clerk, behind the counter and frowned. He looked back at me, grinned a wide grin and spoke.

"Lotto ticket? I didn't want to interrupt."


..............................
So...
Is it possible to build a relationship; to 'touch someone', over the phone?
Is there a second chance, once you've said goodbye?


My usual question: Whatcha y'all havin' for dinner?

I'd say that it is possible to build a relationship over the phone. It's happened to me. I don't know when or if, I might meet that person. I guess we'll see what happens, when that day comes, right? 🤗

Who comes up with these questions? lol 😁
I've split with someone and then, we tried to give it another shot. It usually, didn't work out for very long. The issues that we had, kept cropping up. Although... in some cases we've remained friends. But it's rare.
Once you say goodbye... you say goodbye. 🙁
My EX and I are cordial to each other. We don't exchange birthday cards or anything. I did text her. She texted me back. 😊

I still have hamburgers left over... So them and potatoes and a salad, sounds like a good idea.😋
How many days in a row can you eat the same meal?

Yes, it's possible to build a relationship over the phone .... but it will only give you the framework. Finishing touches need to be done together in the real world.

I believe in second chances. However, by the time a relationship ends, second, third, fourth, etc chances have already been given.

I had a nice grilled ham n cheese sandwich for lunch. I'll think about dinner when I get hungry again.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Yes it is possible to "touch someone" over the phone. When you are apart, it quite often the only way. And yes, I have given second chances. All were mistakes except one. And I went to Long Horn for lunch. Supper might be a pork chop and salad- but only if the hunger wolf appears

I guess I feel you can touch someone over the phone. Or text now adays. I spoke to someone the first time after finding out about another friend passing away. His comfort was very valuable at the time. I am glad he offered to chat. He doesn't often talk on the phone as he has a hearing problem but made an exception for me. That was very nice and appreciated.

I am hungry. So thanks for the prompt to go make something to eat. I will probably just have a tuna fish sandwich. I should make a salad but I am craving bread too. LOL . I rushed out the door today and have only had a couple of coffees. LOL

I have to say it is absolutely possible to touch someone over the phone I know I have, maybe not physically but most definitely mentally. That's a great story, as I am with her once you have left you have to stay gone.

Now for dinner, I know you know my menu today, I baked a Turkey over night with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, steamed peas. And my famous Chocolate Fudge Cake for dessert. I hope your day is a good one and you enjoy a fabulous dinner this evening..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

I think it is possible to touch someone over the phone. Exes are usually good reason they are an ex.

If you couldn't "touch" someone over the phone, there' wouldn't be so many phone calls made to loved ones over the holidays. To build a relationship, I'm sure it's possible through any media, after all, didn't they used to do it through letters prior to the invention of the phone?
I'm one of those, when it's over, it's over. The couple of times I've reconciled have not ended well.
Chinese tonight, sans rice, since I'm doing low carb.

True. You need those finishing touches in person. How do you think we'd do? 🤔
Also true about those chances... 😏
I love ham and cheese. Actually... doesn't anything go well with cheese? 😂

All but one? 🤔 ... and then what.....? 🤗
You eat so healthy. I love pork chops. Ever notice.. when you're hungry... no matter what's on the menu - it's the greatest? ❤️😊
Yes to the lobster... you're lucky! 🍀

Well... That was a good one story. But you talk with many... here, don't you?
Tuna salad is always a good choice. I've done days and days with coffee only.
By the time I get home, I'm ready to eat a horse. That's not the healthiest... is it? 🐴🤔

True.. over the phone vibe. 📱
I would have thought that you were a 'second chance' type of girl. But I get your point.
You're lucky to be able to prepare such a great dinner for a mid week treat. I've only had those meals on weekends and special occasions. You're so good to your crew.
Are they appreciative? lol... 😁😘
If not... I can think of someone who would be. 😜

Yes to the phone! 📱
"That's why there are exs..." Eeee.. Harsh.. lol. Ever wonder if they ever turn it around?
Here's another Q... It's always about them. Is it ever about you? Or no thoughts to what you... might have done? It's just a Q... 🤔😘

True about the phone. 📱And a really good point, about letters. Hmm.... yep. That's true... 👍
Oooo.. Chinese is a great choice.. Man I'm hungry. I shouldn't reply to these comments, before I eat. lol.
So.... how do you soak up the sauce and all that other good stuff, without the rice ? 😊

Yes, I agree it is possible to touch someone and build a relationship with them over the phone. It sets the foundation and removes any uncertainties or nervousness prior to meeting face-to-face.
Usually by time a relationship ends, a series of chances have been given, so it’s truly over.
Dinner tonight is my favourite ‘spring mix salad’ topped with mushrooms and grated Parmesan cheese.

Yes, it's definitely possible to touch someone over the phone. I had a long distance relationship over the phone for quite a long while before we ever met. It fizzled away about a year ago.

No, once it's over, going back is never a good idea.

Dinner tonight, a cesar salad.

Fizzled? How could it fizzle with you?😶

Cesar is good...

You sure blew that encounter all to hell.... perfect chance to get her number and see her again.... but you messed it up.

Is it possible to build a relationship; to 'touch someone', over the phone? ... No. Only over the phone, only plays havoc with the imagination.

Is there a second chance, once you've said goodbye? ..... If you mean after a breakup? Sure, but a second chance would not be a good idea. Now they've lost all respect for your "Word", and next time you breakup with them, they won't take you seriously.

If you mean with 'that' woman at the cashier line? If you see her again, yes, there can be a second chance to get her into your bed...... but realistically if she is at all attractive, next time you see her she will likely be involved with someone, or dating someone.... some women can only date one at a time.

But my advice on that; give her your number anyway.... regardless if she is involved or dating someone, or some.... doesn't matter.... put your number in her pocket.

The woman at the gas pump [shown picture].... she has really short hair.. so she is involved with someone or married...... but , again, even in that situation, and [were this to take place in real life with you] you like what you see,....give her your number anyway.

Nah... you have a point, but not a good one.
Just cause you see and speak with a woman.. doesn't mean you throw your number at her. Does it? I didn't think it was the thing to do. She was a player...
Yees.. she was fine! But rebound chicks? She was but not for me. Too young. I don't have to spell it out in these 444 words. You can infer.. right? I should have elaborated.
As for the pic.. Come on... I picked one up off the net, to fill my prose. But you knew that...
Yep.. She was a hot woman.. outta my leagues.
Still.. I had fun. Wouldn't you?

Naw.. it wasn't going to happen. It went by to quickly. It was just a slice. You know what I mean. Too quick. It would have come across as too needy if I pressed for a number. Hey... I live in a city of 4.5 million. Other fish.. as they say. I'm not desperate. 👍
