the road less traveled by
by hair product consumer
|
there was a trainer at my gym who was adorable. he was SO cute he made me want to buy hair products. we often smiled at eachother, but with trainers you can never tell if they are really interested, or they just want you as a client. so i was excited when he suggested that I leave my number "in his box". ( i have to remember to use that line)
so we met after working out one night and he didn't want to go to any of the cute bars in the area, of which there are 40 gagillion. when i suggested one of them he said, don't they charge you $10 for a glass of water there?
I was like, okay, where to? he took me to a cheesy diner where we had coffee and told me his life story. turns out he used to work at an institution where he met some crazy girl he was into. hmmm. and he really likes "exotic" girls. thought i: does he mean like "exotic" dancers?
so by then i was feeling mildly offended by both the exotic girl ref and the stinky deli coffee and then he let lose the deal breaker:
he quoted robert frost.
he had recently decided, admittedly late, to go to pre-med. but he said to me, an actor, that he "took the road less traveled by". and went to premed??!!!!?
I was like oh no. he misinterpreted and then quoted the poem we all memorized in the 4th grade. oh no.
he called me a lot after that, and I saw him at the gym (awkward!). I left him a message at one point that i was having a "family crisis" and couldn't see him. creative, no? looking back i wish i had told him that "two roads diverged in a yellow wood" and we wuz headed in opposite directions.
