Hey Everyone!
Thanks again for for all the responses to my long post I wrote 2 weeks ago. Well here is a brief update. If there are any men in the stockbroking field...please respond! Thanks!
-------------------------------------
So for those that read my long novel, anyway....it was by chance I ran into the guy I recently met. (For those who did not see the post..I wrote about this guy I met...took my gf out...she got wickedly drunk and was extremely out of control, and I never heard from him again.)....anyway to go on...he never did call me back...but last Friday...I ran into him by his place. He invited me in and we spoke for about 20 minutes. He apologized for not calling and assured me it had nothing to do with my friend and her behavior and that it had nothing to do with me. I mentioned in my old post...he was studying for his Series 7 and just got a new job at Met Life. Since he is the new guy...he is putting in the hrs. working from 8-7:30pm or longer on some nights.
I told him....I understand he is busy but it did not excuse the fact he could of called 1 time. I told him he was just as busy prior to meeting me..yet he would call on his lunch breaks and whenever he could. He said...what do u want me to say? I told him to be honest. If he lost interest or if he is involved with someone else...just tell me...and that I would be on my way with no hard feelings. I told him...I just want closure. I asked him if he understood where I was getting all this "upset" feelings from...and he said he did. Again..he reassured me it had nothing to do with anything. He said he has not spoken to his father in over a week nor any of his close friends he has known for years. I asked straight out do you still want to hang out and are u sure it is not me. He says it has nothing to do with me..and that he is still interested. He says he is really busy with this new job...and that he will find time to hang out with me and call when he can. But he cannot make promises. He said will try. He said he likes me....so as I was leaving...he gave me a hug and we kissed.
I left feeling better....and I truly believe he was being honest. He gave me no indication to think otherwise. I did notice he was very pale...he was losing some of his muscle tone from not going to the gym...and that his face was very tiresome...like he did not sleep well for days. And furthermore...if he was not interested...I guess he would not invited me in...explain his side nor give me a kiss.....I do believe him............
--------------------------------------
So,.,.my question is.................Since I do not know anything about what the job specifics for a new person getting into stockbroking....could he really be honest with me...about being busy with work.?
I mean....I thought law school was nuts or studying for pre-med and doing rounds was crazy....with no sleep...always work...work and more work....
So...when a new person recently out of college gets a new job say in Met Life and studying for his exams....do they really work all those crazy hours....?
One last thing...he did mention that his job was important to him...and since he was new....he is younger then the rest of the staff...he has a huge load on his shoulders............
I never force issues with men regarding work...for I pack in 50-60 hrs. per week every week....and I am so tired....I cannot go out or get things done at home...all I want is my bed....
So....any insight would be great....Thanks! =0)
