A Friendly Ear

It can be surprising how many lonely people there are out there looking for a friendly ear to talk to. A man today didn’t want to talk about sex, but he’d lost his wife several months ago and was missing her and had no one just to talk to. They’d been married nearly forty five years, so you can only imagine how all of a sudden empty one’s life would seem when their other half is suddenly gone from their life. Then he said he’d been talking to another lady, another phone girl, and from what he said, it seems she’d led him on and was promising to meet. I hope he doesn’t get taken advantage of. Some women will do that.

He is retired, home alone all the time, he could be an easy mark for some unscrupulous woman. He said how much he enjoyed our talk and how it was nice just to have someone to talk to. He’s certainly not the only man that calls just to talk, either. Not everyone is looking for a quickie and not a real conversation. Women doing phone work are also often called upon to be like a therapist of sorts. Some are better than others. Some can be kind and sympathetic.

Sometimes talking to a stranger can be a lot easier than talking to ones you know. It can be nice to feel close to someone even if only for the length of a phone call. Not all are seeking advice, some just want to talk, and that’s fine. Most are not going to be going to some bar and baring their soul to some stranger, yet some will reach out to ones over the phone and hope they get that friendly ear they are so desperately seeking to talk to, even if it is just about everyday things in their life that no one else is asking them about.
