| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/19/2008 10:38:30 AM | she was far far out of my league
lol... yeah, a 39 yr old woman who likes to hang out with ***holes probably still has a brain of a 20yr old.
yeah, she is out of your league....

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/19/2008 10:51:01 AM | Actually you're right. I've dated plenty of people out of my league and it worked temporarily. Either way, I wasn't about to hit on a woman that was crying in my car and I was supposed to be helping. Does any lady wanna get hit on when she's upset or angry?
I didn't even want to cause anything to disrupt her, cause the last thing I wanted was her angry with me and in my car! How would I get her out? I'd end up escaping my own car!
However, I did learn every aspect of that woman's life in the time she was with me, cause she vented a lot. Instead of trying to help her like the therapist that I am with all of my friends, I just tried to keep her smiling. :-) Cause if she's smiling, she gets out of my car. If she's not, she stays there until she is. | |

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/19/2008 5:30:44 PM | | You did the right thing but one does have to be careful . That night you were GOD's ANGEL OF MERCY! I HAVE BEEN IN WORSE SITUATION AND IN MANY CASES LENDED A HAND.BUT LIVING A NIGHTMARE IS WORSE!WITH THAT SITUATION I CAN SEE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WRITTEN ALL OVER IT AND IN IT!YOU COULD HAVE MAY WELL SAVED HER LIFE JUST BY BEING THERE. | |
|
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 8:27:55 AM | So its been 10 days, and I received a letter in the mail this morning from her.
The letter said that she looked up my liscense plate and would call me, but she doesn't want to intrude on my life (so instead she writes?). In the letter, she thanked me, told me stuff about her and the guy, said she wasn't going back with him, cause there are better guys out there.
Then to end it, she stapled her business card and enclosed an Olive Garden gift card.
btw Karma did pay off the entire last week. I gave blood on Tuesday, so that was more karma considering I passed out in the chair. Its been a huge happy week last week. | |
|
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 8:31:42 AM | | Wow what a memory she has. Remembering your license plate no. I dont even have mine memorized. I would not have thought to look at yours. | |
|
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 8:57:53 AM | Nice story....but why is it in the dating experience forum? You didnt date her in your story. To be honest, it sounds like this story with its "dialogue" belongs in the creative writing forum. I wouldnt doubt that this happened IF you simply stated consiesly the story. However, the dialogue seems like something from a B movie with the clincher being heroes dont always wear capes being given by a grizzled "old dude". Classic! how did he know what had occured? Anyway....gee thanks poster, twas a nice story. | |

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 10:52:05 AM | | Personally, I say, "kuddos to you !!!" Sometimes the best things that we accomplish in life are the things that we effortlessly do for others without expectations !!!!! | |
|
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 11:34:22 AM | That was really nice of her. Maybe she took down your plate number for a safety reason. A letter is less intrusive than a phone call. My mom always says a letter is more romantic than an e-mail or a phone call but she is referring to the old days. If it was handwritten rather than typed then she really saw something in you that she hasn't seen in other men. From what you said though in the original post she has no idea of what a real man was until she met you. | |
|
| |
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 3:00:41 PM | | Well, you was lucky this time, but not everyone is that lucky, in the world today you got to be EXTREMELY careful otherwise you could find yourself having a out of body experience as you die in a ditch. | |
|
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 3:25:33 PM | Question?
You said thank god she asked for your I.D , because you didnt want to tell her your name. But if you gave her your I.D then she would have your name, address, if your a donor or not , etc?
So my question is, why didnt you want to give her your name but you gave her your I.D? | |
|
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 6:10:42 PM | | Ok, i'm not flat out suggesting this didn't happen, BUT, if one were to cook up a way to get a bevy of ladies to become interested, this wouldn't be a bad approach. | |

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/27/2008 11:58:13 PM | OP, your kindness and compassion were fantastic!
I hope this experience inspires others not to "turn away" when someone is in dire need and everyone else seems to be ignoring them....
people have been raped in public, in the daylight because of diffusion of responsibility...everyone else just assumes someone else will call 911 or offer assistance...in the end, no one actually did....
You actually helped out a few people that night....her, as well as both her parents...
Like some of the other posters, the "Not all heroes wear capes" line gave me chills!
Very heart warming....seems to have the ring of truth all over it...
Peace, Blessings!!!

Moron is the word that comes to mind....didn't she have thunmbs for hitchhiking ??...didn't the gas station have a pay phone ?? Sounds like a "Whigger" lover to me....if she wants to run with the "thug life" then she should expect to be treated that way ? You say she is 39 ?? and she wanted to go to her mommy & daddys ??... But yet she still acts like a damn 21 year old, I think she has alot more problems than just being "hooker dumped" at some gas station. Me personally....I could have been the guy who rightly said "he wasn't a taxi"
Could you be any more judgmental or cold hearted? And don't know if you know this or not, but your comment on this post is now on your profile for every woman to see. Good luck getting a date with those remarks.
I'll have to agree with the first opinion. Just the way she was "screaming" in the parking lot, confused... sounds like a freak to me. Being "stuck" at a gas station isn't a life and death situation. There was a phone there for sure. As far as this NOT getting me a date then I'm cool with it. I haven't ran into too many quality women on this site anyway. | |

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/28/2008 12:09:38 PM | | Wow-- what a beautiful story hon! You should SERIOUSLY submit that to a magazine.. if I were an editor, Iwould publish it PRONTO! It inspires and reaches out with a very positive message! Thanks so very much for sharing! Poeticbliss | |

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/28/2008 3:43:10 PM | Thanks for a beautiful and inspiring story. As for the naysayers, I find that prevalent at the Forums. When things sound positive, someone always tries to shoot the OP and finds a way to descredit him/her. In figuring the veracity of a story, as in other things, I only go by my instinct which has not failed me to date.
The woman at 39 was a nitwit! You are mature and compassionate beyond your years. In that instant, you complimented each other. Most of the times, things happen for a reason. You were brought to her life so that she could see a different version of her ex-fiance. Rewards for good deeds normally come from other sources, as my dad always told me. In the future, when something happens that you find is too good for you and you feel you are undeserving, think of the things you have done such this. Yup, payback time. Sometime in your life, you have done something good.
Kudos to U, lostintheshuffle! The way you handled the negative posts gives you more extra points in the eyes of many ppl, I would say. You are one fine gentleman!
 There is no harm in being more careful next time, though. When you fill up one pocket with patience, remember to load the other one with caution. | |

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/28/2008 4:24:56 PM | To the person that told me this was cooked up to bait women... Quite honestly more men have written me commenting positively and negatively on it than women have. Lots of people were thanking me, cause that could have been their daughter.
As for the letter I was sent, I gave it to a friend. I don't really want to think about it. My friends and I agree not to get involved at all from here on out, because I have enough people dumping their drama in my lap. In fact I have a few people on a weekly basis on this site that write me up asking for advice. | |

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/28/2008 7:00:55 PM | Hi Message #30/31,
Can you please explain what a "Whigger" lover is? It also sounds like you are very bitter because this respectful, articulate and caring man helped another human being in need.
I trully believe that "what goes around, comes around" therefore this gentleman will be blessed for his acts of kindness. It appears that he has a kind spirit and has been blessed to be a "guardian angel" to those in need.
Yes we do live in a society where people are full of deceit and have a lack of concern for other humans, however, we all need to remember that one day we may be the one that needs the assistance of a "guardian angel".

| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/29/2008 11:23:45 AM | | A whigger lover is someone that loves wigs (kidding)? I've been to Hollywood, there are tons of wig stores everywhere! Its funny, there was a giant ugly red wig in a store window that said "100% natural human hair," yeah the wig probably required 10 people, only to be died the most unnatural shade of red there has ever been. | |
|
| he left her at a gas station Posted: 5/29/2008 12:59:44 PM | I think it's funny how that girl a few pages back told that guy he was comparing apples to oranges when all he did is switched the gender roles around and kept the exact situation intact.
LOL. I'm still laughing at that one...  | |

OP,
No offense in accusing you as a "baiter." But the whole thing smacked a bit of a the emotional equiv of a Nigerian email scam. And half the time, you read of people getting scammed, so i thought i'd point out the possibility that a letter like yours was potentially quite a hook.
You say it happened. I don't know you and have no reason to disbelieve you. And sure, it's a good deed and all. Good work, really. I def believe in helping ppl out, even if they may appear as weirdos or even whiggers (wtf?).
I guess my question is this: why post the story on a dating web -- why not a good samaritan web? | |
