Play Tragic

Depending on how far I’m travelling

umbrelladays:

I can ‘fall in love’ 2-4 times on the train…
and, if they ‘fall in love’ with you too from across the carriage, it adds a little bit of romance to the journey. It could be for five minutes or fifty, but during that time before one of you leaves, it’s lovely. Innocent fun to pass the time.

My one hour fifteen minute train adventures yesterday?
Zero. No loves.

I don’t know whether it’s because there were no nice boys travelling on a Sunday or because I’m refusing to find anyone attractive. Who knows.

I would feel weird confessing my little game if I didn’t know loads of other people who do it too. Ha!

Pro: You don’t really fall in love, so when you part, it doesn’t hurt.
Con: Eye contact makes me nervous

I love falling in love on train journeys. It’s the best kind of love.
