I am always surprised at what people will do to try to find love (or just lust, depending on your needs) on Muni. Yesterday I was on the J train and overheard this successful attempt at getting a date.
Cast of characters:
Romeo (man wearing a newsboy cap, sunglasses – even though it was at night – and standing…no, leaning casually against the back of the train)
Juliet (young woman wearing a cute white track jacket, heading to Dolores Park)
Me (you know, creepily pretending to read my newspaper while eavesdropping for Muni Diaries)
The Hit:
Romeo: Hey so you’re in school, huh? Yeah, me too, i mean, I am in transition. I am in the film industry.
Juliet: Oh what kind of film do you make?
Romeo: Well, I will be making films as soon as the lawsuit is over.
Juliet: Lawsuit?
Romeo: Yes, with a former employer. Over employment issues. God, total assholes. But as soon as that is over, I can use the money from the lawsuit to transition into my art. Hey do you want to go to dinner or lunch some time?
Much much to my surprise, Juliet takes out her phone and gives him her number, takes down his number and gets off the train. They are having lunch tonight if I overheard right. Aaaah love is in the air. But geez am I too much of a cynic to hope that she gave him a fake number?

I was way ahead of you in the cynic department, Eugenia. I’m torn: Was it cool for Romeo to ask her out, right there on Muni? Of course it was. But, is she a fool for accepting? These are case-by-case situations, for sure. But in general, if I were a girl, I’d always give a fake number.

You all are waaaay too cynical … geeeesh!!? Aside from everybody not wanting the same thing (aka Romeo may not be your type, but that doesn’t mean you should judge for Juliet) and it takes all kind of folks to make the world go ’round, I think you gotta leave room for serendipity! I’m sure Juliet is a big girl and if she wasn’t interested in some way would’ve ignored him or not asked “interested” questions about his films …

This simply shows that some young people in San Francisco are as clueless as their counterparts anywhere else.
