It's not relevant, that's why it's called trolling.

As much as I would like to use some amusing pictures here, reading that story, I think you did very well there in some ways. think about it,

1) you managed to have a coherent conversation with an attractive woman, while on a treadmill- something that many NT men would find nerve-wracking.
2) You managed to hide your disappointment so well she even came and said goodbye to you.

It is disappointing to find this sort of thing happening, but it is all good practise, and skills you can use later when you talk to other women. There is nothing wrong with carrying yourself well.

The Epic Of Sadness

Your love taught me to grieve
and I have been in need, for centuries
a woman to make me grieve
for a woman, to cry upon her arms
like a sparrow
for a woman to gather my pieces
like shards of broken crystal

Your love has taught me, my lady, the worst habits
it has taught me to read my coffee cups
thousands of times a night
to experiment with alchemy,
to visit fortune tellers

It has taught me to leave my house
to comb the sidewalks
and search your face in raindrops
and in car lights
and to peruse your clothes
in the clothes of unknowns
and to search for your image
even…..even…..
even in the posters of advertisements
your love has taught me
to wander around, for hours
searching for a gypsies hair
that all gypsies women will envy
searching for a face, for a voice
which is all the faces and all the voices…

Your love entered me…my lady
into the cities of sadness
and I before you, never entered
the cities of sadness
I did not know…
that tears are the person
that a person without sadness
is only a shadow of a person…

The original text:

علمني حبك ..أن أحزن

و أنا محتاج منذ عصور

لامرأة تجعلني أحزن

لامرأة أبكي بين ذراعيها

مثل العصفور..

لامرأة.. تجمع أجزائي

كشظايا البللور المكسور

***

علمني حبك.. سيدتي

أسوأ عادات

علمني أفتح فنجاني

في الليلة ألاف المرات..

و أجرب طب العطارين..

و أطرق باب العرافات..

علمني ..أخرج من بيتي..

لأمشط أرصفة الطرقات

و أطارد وجهك..

في الأمطار ، و في أضواء السيارات..

و أطارد طيفك..

حتى .. حتى ..

في أوراق الإعلانات ..

علمني حبك..

كيف أهيم على وجهي..ساعات

بحثا عن شعر غجري

تحسده كل الغجريات

بحثا عن وجه ٍ..عن صوتٍ..

هو كل الأوجه و الأصواتْ

***

أدخلني حبكِ.. سيدتي

مدن الأحزانْ..

و أنا من قبلكِ لم أدخلْ

مدنَ الأحزان..

لم أعرف أبداً..

أن الدمع هو الإنسان

أن الإنسان بلا حزنٍ

ذكرى إنسانْ..

***

علمني حبكِ..

أن أتصرف كالصبيانْ

أن أرسم وجهك ..

بالطبشور على الحيطانْ..

و على أشرعة الصيادينَ

على الأجراس..

على الصلبانْ

علمني حبكِ..

كيف الحبُّ يغير خارطة الأزمانْ..

علمني أني حين أحبُّ..

تكف الأرض عن الدورانْ

علمني حبك أشياءً..

ما كانت أبداً في الحسبانْ

فقرأت أقاصيصَ الأطفالِ..

دخلت قصور ملوك الجانْ

و حلمت بأن تتزوجني

بنتُ السلطان..

تلك العيناها .. أصفى من ماء الخلجانْ

تلك الشفتاها.. أشهى من زهر الرمانْ

و حلمت بأني أخطفها

مثل الفرسانْ..

و حلمت بأني أهديها

أطواق اللؤلؤ و المرجانْ..

علمني حبك يا سيدتي, ما الهذيانْ

علمني كيف يمر العمر..

و لا تأتي بنت السلطانْ..

***

علمني حبكِ..

كيف أحبك في كل الأشياءْ

في الشجر العاري..

في الأوراق اليابسة الصفراءْ

في الجو الماطر.. في الأنواءْ..

في أصغر مقهى..

نشرب فيهِ، مساءً، قهوتنا السوداءْ..

علمني حبك أن آوي..

لفنادقَ ليس لها أسماءْ

و كنائس ليس لها أسماءْ

و مقاهٍ ليس لها أسماءْ

علمني حبكِ..

كيف الليلُ يضخم أحزان الغرباءْ..

علمني..كيف أرى بيروتْ

إمرأة..طاغية الإغراءْ..

إمراةً..تلبس كل كل مساءْ

أجمل ما تملك من أزياءْ

و ترش العطر.. على نهديها

للبحارةِ..و الأمراء..

علمني حبك ..

أن أبكي من غير بكاءْ

علمني كيف ينام الحزن

كغلام مقطوع القدمينْ..

في طرق (الروشة) و (الحمراء)..

***

علمني حبك أن أحزنْ..

و أنا محتاج منذ عصور

لامرأة.. تجعلني أحزن

لامرأة.. أبكي بين ذراعيها..

مثل العصفور..

لامرأة تجمع أجزائي..

كشظايا البللور المكسور..

and the rest of the poem....




Your love taught me
to behave like a boy
to draw your face with chalk
upon the wall
upon the sails of fishermen's boats
on the Church bells, on the crucifixes,
your love taught me, how love,
changes the map of time…
Your love taught me, that when I love
the earth stops revolving,
Your love taught me things
that were never accounted for
So I read children's fairytales
I entered the castles of Jennies
and I dreamt that she would marry me
the Sultan's daughter
those eyes..
clearer than the water of a lagoon
those lips…
more desirable than the flower of pomegranates
and I dreamt that I would kidnap her like a knight and I dreamt that I would give
her necklaces of pearl and coral
Your love taught me, my lady,
what is insanity
it taught me…how life may pass
without the Sultan's daughter arriving

Your love taught me
How to love you in all things
in a bare winter tree,
in dry yellow leaves
in the rain, in a tempest,
in the smallest cafe, we drank in,
in the evenings…our black coffee

Your love taught me…to seek refuge
to seek refuge in hotels without names
in churches without names…
in cafes without names…

Your love taught me…how the night
swells the sadness of strangers
It taught me…how to see Beirut
as a woman…a tyrant of temptation
as a woman, wearing every evening
the most beautiful clothing she possesses
and sprinkling upon her breasts perfume
for the fisherman, and the princes
Your love taught me how to cry without crying
It taught me how sadness sleeps
Like a boy with his feet cut off
in the streets of the Rouche and the Hamra

Your love taught me to grieve
and I have been needing, for centuries
a woman to make me grieve
for a woman, to cry upon her arms
like a sparrow
for a woman to gather my pieces
like shards of broken crystal
