Calling It As I Experienced It

 The woman was a stranger to me, yet she spoke to me as if we had been friends for ages. The conversation was just a tad one-sided though, as she barely stopped talking to catch her breath, much less allow me to add to the convo.

   Apparently the person she thought I was must have been a great listener - she never asked a question that needed an answer, speaking as if the story she was weaving needed no explanation, and even if it did she was not inclined to offer any.

   Suddenly the conversation came to an abrupt stop. Well, she stopped speaking abruptly, that is. 

   She didn't say a word for at least thirty full seconds, and then she asked, "Have you ever dated someone for just one day? I mean, have you ever had someone ask you if you and they could start dating each other all serious like, and then just a few hours later, on the same day, that same person told you the relationship was over? Just, you know, all out of the blue like?"

   Her pause was followed by an expectant look, so I replied, that yes, yes I had.

   She then asked me to elaborate.

   So I said, with what I thought was a genial, semi-joking inflection in my voice, that I had started serious relationships with a few women in the evening that started out great, got even better after a few hours, but then were completely over when the sun came up.

   She looked at me both hard and repulsed, then quipped, "You think you're funny, don't you? Hmmphh."

   I didn't offer a word of argument, as I did, indeed, think I was funny.
