Every day on my walk to work I end up behind a rather overweight young man. He walks quite slowly and takes up the pathway with his large frame.
I've got a brisk and impatient stride. I eventually overtake him. I try to throw him a smile or catch his eye as I'm doing it but his eyes are always to the ground.
What bothers me is that our relationship is based purely on this morning routine, and this routine occurs because he is large and slow. I hate the idea that I am only known to him as the girl that overtakes him every morning.
Perhaps I'm over-thinking this.
Still, this morning I threw him a 'Merry Christmas'. No response. I want to buy him a present but that's probably a bit odd.
As a side note, my iPhone's autocorrect changed 'over-thinking' to 'overt honking'. 'Tis the season of office Christmas party sexual harrassment!
