Zdravo, ljudi! Nadam se da vam je maj lepo počeo! Meni je svakako veselo, a sad ću vam ispričati i zbog čega. xD
Ja na posao idem autobusom, i pre jedno dva meseca sam, upravo idući na posao, primetila nekog ko mi je delovao veoma privlačno. Međutim, tog dana nisam više razmišljala o tome i mislila sam da je taj susret bio slučajan, putnik u autobusu kao i svaki drugi na kog ću vrlo brzo zaboraviti. Neko vreme ga i nisam viđala pa je i delovalo da će tako biti - ali nije!
Posle nekog vremena počela sam da ga primećujem u istom autobusu, najpre svakog drugog dana, a potom i shvatila da on takođe tim autobusom ide na posao svakog dana u isto vreme. Što sam ga više posmatrala shvatila sam da me on iz nekog razloga sve više intrigira i pomislila sam da bih mogla da mu stavim do znanja da bih volela da se upoznamo. Naravno, pre toga sam mu pažljivo posmatrala šake da vidim da li SLUČAJNO nosi burmu, svesna da je mnogo ljudi u svojim tridesetim već u braku - ja se klonim oženjenih muškaraca em iz obzira prema ženama, em jer mi zaista nije potrebna takva drama u životu. Videla sam da je ne nosi i rekla sam - to je to.
On je i te kako pokazao da je takođe zainteresovan i počeo da odgovara i prilazi. To je trajalo neko vreme dok mu nisam dala svoj instagram da mi tamo piše za slučaj da jeste zainteresovan, a glupo mu je da me, na primer, pozove na dejt u javnom prevozu. Javio se istog tog jutra!
E sad se situacija zakuvava - poslao mi je poruku i počeli smo da se dopisujemo, a ja sam mu poslala zahtev za praćenje pošto mu je profil privatan. Prvenstveno sam se nadala da će na profilu imati neku sliku na kojoj mu se lepo vide sve tetovaže jer sam primetila da ih ima, ali niti je on zapratio mene niti je meni odobrio zahtev za praćenje. Paralelno s tim on mene nastavlja da pita gde radim, šta radim i slično, a kad ja njega pitam isto to odgovara poprilično neodređeno. I tu već pomišljam da mi je to čudno i razmišljam da li možda nešto krije. I KRIJE.
U jednom trenutku on meni piše: "Moram nešto da ti kažem. Imam ženu, moraš da znaš. Nije problem?"
Tu ja počinjem da se smejem jer sam skapirala s kim imam posla, i odlučujem da se momentalno isključim iz razgovora. Ubrzo nakon što je prošlo ČITAVIH PET MINUTA od poslednje poruke na koju sam mu odgovorila, on je napisao: "Dobro, nećeš da pričaš, okej." Usledio mu je blok. xD
Zamislite vi tu drskost i bezobrazluk! Ceo dan sam provela smejući se u naletima sa svojim drugaricama koje, kao ni ja, nisu mogle da veruju šta se dogodilo, iako je situacija u principu žalosna. Makar sam, što kažu one, imala tu ludu sreću da je on lepo odmah priznao umesto da me je zavlačio ko zna koliko dugo a ja saznala od nekog trećeg lica za to da je on neverni probisvet.
Što je najzanimljivije - uopšte nisam ni tužna, ni besna, ni razočarana. Jedino mi je žao njegove žene koja gotovo izvesno ništa ne sluti i misli da je on zaista voli i poštuje. Nepotrebno je reći da se nadam da će shvatiti da zaslužuje mnogo bolje od toga i šutnuti ga.
Elem, to na stranu, da popičamo o odevnoj kombinaciji - ovo je uslikano sad za vikend kada je i dalje bilo suviše hladno za izlazak iz kuće bez jakne, a zaista mi se nije nosila. Otuda objašnjenje zašto nosim rolku u maju mesecu. xD Želela sam da za promenu obučem nešto gde neće dominirati crna boja koja mi je uvek siguran izbor pa sam se poigrala klasičnim zemljanim tonovima i ukombinovala ih s belim farmerkama. Ovako nešto nosim kad izlazim u grad s drugaricama ili kad mi se na poslu nosi nešto malo ležernije - dopada mi se što izgleda lepo i skladno bez previše truda.
Imate li vi neko, da se tako izrazim, interesantno iskustvo u potrazi za ljubavlju? Recite mi u komentarima pa da se ismejemo zajedno. 



Hi, everyone! I hope you had a good start at May! Mine was certainly entertaining, and now I'm going to tell you why. xD
I go to work by bus, and about a month ago, precisely on my way to work, I noticed someone who seemed quite attractive. However, later that day I brushed it off as an accidental encounter with a random person taking a bus that I will soon forget about. I haven't seen him for some time so I thought that it would stay that way - it didn't!
After a while I started noticing him on the same bus, initially every other day, and later I realized that this was also his daily commute on his way to work, at the same time as me. The more I watched him I realized that I was more and more intrigued by him for some reason and I thought that I could give him some signs that I'd like us to get to know each other. Of course, before doing anything I took a very close and thorough look at his hands to see if he was POTENTIALLY wearing a wedding ring, very well aware of the fact that plenty of people in their thirties are already married - I stay away from married men because I'm a girls' girl, and also because I don't need the drama. I saw that he didn't wear one and thought - this is it.
He has very much shown his own interest by coming close to me and responding. That lasted for some time until I gave him my instagram to let him know he could contact me there in case it was too awkward for him to, let's say, ask me out on public transport. He DMed me the same morning!
Now the shit's getting real - he messaged me and we started texting, and I sent him a follow request because his profile was private. What I was looking forward to the most was seeing if he had a photo on his profile where you could clearly see his tattoos because I noticed that he had some, but he neither gave me a follow nor accepted my follow request. At the same time he kept asking me about where I worked, what I do and stuff, and when I'd ask him the same he would answer in a very secretive way. This is the point when I started wondering if he could be hiding something. AND HE DOES.
All of a sudden he wrote: "I gotta tell you something. I have a wife, you must know. Not a problem?"
That was when I started laughing frantically because I realized who I was dealing with and decided to leave the conversation immediately. Soon after WHOLE FIVE MINUTES after the last message from him I replied to he wrote: "Fine, you don't wanna talk, okay." He was immediately blocked. xD
Can you believe the audacity! I spent the whole day in laughing episodes with my friends who, just like me, couldn't believe what had just happened, even though the situation was frankly miserable. At least, as my friends said, I was insanely lucky that he came clean immediately instead of leading me on for God knows how long before I found out that he was a cheating asshole in some other way.
The most interesting part is - I'm neither sad, nor angry or disappointed. I only feel sorry for his unsuspecting wife who most likely believes that he truly loves and respects her. Needless to say that I'm hoping that she realizes that she deserves so much better than him and dumps his ass.
Anyway, that aside, let's talk about the outfit - this was shot this weekend when it was still too chilly to leave the house without a jacket, and I really didn't feel like wearing one. That explains why I'm wearing a turtleneck in the month of May. xD I wanted to wear something that wasn't dominated by the always safe black for a change, so I played around with classic earthy tones and combined them with these white jeans. This is something I like wearing when I'm in town with my friends or when I feel like wearing something a bit more casual for work - I love how everything works so well without me putting in too much effort.
Do you have any dating fails or interesting experiences you'd like to share? Let me know in the comments so we can all laugh together.

  10. Stvarno grozno kako je ležerno pretpostavio ili se nadao da neće biti problem.
    Imam dvije rodice starije generacije koje su prevarili oženjeni muškarci (kojima su žene bile u drugoj državi) i na kraju su bile samohrane majke jer dok su otkrile istinu o tim prevarantima već su dobile dijete sa njima. Tako da neki u laži odu stvarno daleko. Tada je i stigma oko takvih stvari bila velika, a i žene nisu mogle dobiti alimentaciju za djecu, a očevi ih nisu priznali... Život priča priče. Sada su one već bake i prethodile su sve to, ali nije im bilo lako.
    Kombinacija je predivna... fotografije su za deset.

    1. To je strašno, stvarno - dobro rekoše moje drugarice da je makar rekao odmah šta je imao umesto da me je zavlačio i da sam saznala od nekog trećeg nakon nekoliko nedelja ili meseci.
      Hvala ti puno! <3

  12. Que rapaz infiel, muita sacanagem dele fazer isso com você e com a esposa dele. Mas que bom que você não está triste ou com raiva, ao contrário disso, pôde dar boas gargalhadas da situação.
    Eu adorei seu look, aqui está frio, então é uma inspiração. Muito linda!

  13. Oh Jelena, I am SO sorry he ended up being married. My mouth dropped open when he said, 'Not a problem?' Like what, of course that's a problem!! It makes me sad so many people do this to their spouses and also, do it to other people that are actually innocent - like you! You'd have no way of knowing he was married considering he wasn't wearing a ring and also if he didn't just fess up quickly, which I'm so glad for your sake that he did. People are psycho! I hope you don't keep encountering him on the bus! On a lighter note, what a beautiful outfit this is my friend, you look stunning as always!!

    Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week!

    1. Thank you so very much, Ashley! Honestly, I'd be completely okay with the fact that he was married if he was simply not interested or ignoring me. That would be completely valid. I did not expect that on bit when I noticed that he was reciprocating, imagine my surprise!
      Thankfully I'm not seeing him on the bus anymore. Thanks for the compliments on my outfit! <3

  14. Oh my goodness, you just never know with some people, so sorry that happened. As for the outfit details, I just adore it as always, dear. /Madison

  15. I like how honestly you tell this story because it feels real, funny, and frustrating all at once. The way you trusted your instincts when his behaviour became unclear shows a lot of self respect and emotional intelligence. Sadly, situations like this happen more often than people admit, which is why your post feels very relatable. Your outfit also looks effortlessly polished since the earthy tones and white jeans work beautifully together and give such a clean balanced look. I just shared a new post on my blog too and would love for you to read it when you have a moment www.melodyjacob.com
