I'm still Genny from the accident.
Something for you to ponder:
Darling Genevieve was weaving happily home from a soiree late the other night when she witnessed the horror of a cyclist being hit by a car. She was the only person there and of course rushed over to help (trying not to let her voice betray the conveyor belt of white wines she had recently allowed to pass her lips) and was relieved to discover that through sensible use of a helmet the bike rider was shaken but unharmed, and the driver in similar condition (sans helmet, obvs).
Gen: But here's the weird thing. They were both hot.
Me: Really? Sweet.
Gen: In different ways. The guy on the bike was really hot. And the driver was a bit straighter, but pretty cute too. You know...normal cute.
Me: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Gen: So we all exchanged details and stuff for insurance purposes and what-not.
Me: Of course.
Beat.
Me: And?
Gen: And is it wrong that I walked away from the accident thinking 'cool, I just got the phone numbers of two hot guys'?
Me: .....
Gen: It's fucked, isn't it. I can tell by the look on your face.
Me: No no, it's fine.
Gen: And now I'm worried about the moral dilemma of texting the guy on the bike to hook up with him.
Me: What are you going to say in the text?
Gen: Just ask how he's feeling. Maybe put something suggestive right at the end.
Me: I don't think there's anything morally wrong with that.
Gen: Are you sure? Because I just don't want to be some kind of weirdo who hangs around car crash hot-spots waiting to pick up.
**********************
Over to you, bedroom philosophers. Is my Gen tiptoeing a moral tightrope? My call is it's a great story for the grandkids, though she might want to make sure there's no lasting brain damage before throwing herself into lifelong commitment.
270 days til the next election.

It's only immmoral if she ends up doing one without the other – in a situatio like this, a threeway is mandatory. Fact.
she should TOTALLY hit it.
in a non-fatal way of course.
I'm with la nadine, it's destiny she should call the cyclist.
gennyb=ambulance chaser, i love it. do it.
Let me get this straight - Gen's into guys (obvs) - but she prefers the guy on the bike, cos he's not a 'straight' as the driver!? In any case, no moral dilemma - go for it - as long as we get progress reports.
i know a couple who met like this. he witnessed car crash. exchanged numbers with driver of car (victim or perp. i can't remember. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER.) they went out for quite a while. they are no longer together, but it's nothing to do with hangover of moral dilemma and ethical compromises. more because she was a twat.
genny should go for it.
You would be crazy not to!
Just depends on the delivery of the sms...however I think that an actual phone call would be more effective, just to show how "concerned" she actually is, and give her the opportunity to pull away if the guy sounds like a crack-pot on the phone.
If that fails, go for the guy with the car. He probably has better prospects. Considering he can afford a car....
Hmm, is this a good plan for my latest efforts to bed that girl ?
After the failure of the pringles bribe, I'm not sure whether it's worth getting run over for her heart.
Erm. Obviously destiny has decided to throw TWO potentials into her path, and it's just lucky that the more physically fit one is also hotter. Maybe she will be responsible for survival of the species...
Damn, I've been knocked off my bike on three occasions and not one hot witness or nursey yet.
Call the cyclist
please
Too late. They thought the same thing about each other and, since the "heat" was between them, have already had a "head on".
However, this adrenelin fuelled fire could have been - nay, was - negated by the presence of Gen's Rock Goddess hotness, so she should absolutely go for it.
I'd say she should go with it, but maybe leave the suggestive bits until the second message, don't want to scare him off while he's unable to run away.
"mounted each others' bonnets" or "shared helmets" would have worked better than "head on". Damn slow wit.
Watch this movie first.
Your friends are weird.
Can't she just hook up with her ex's best friend like any normal person?
Go for it Gen, nightclubs are so 80s when it comes to picking up. Men are looking for new ways to break the ice. ie throwing themselves in front of cars in the vicinity of hot babes.
The cyclist should have done his homework though. Why bring in another sausage into his routine? He should have ridden in front of a pensioner or nerd.
PS ask him a question in your text. It makes it easier for him to answer you.
PPS Send text on valentines day.
And please blog the result. You could be the benificiary of Ms Fits' readership's collective courting talents.
Cmon people help Gen out.
"HI2U NEW FREND, HOW R U FLN 2DAY? 4GOT 2 MNTION GRT CURE 4 POST ACCDNT HDACHE, ESP. WHERE 3 PPL INVLVD. R U FREE SAT, OR ANYTIME? MUAKS 4 UR THROBNG HEAD, GEN."
^^It's in the bag.
Geez I don't know Milo. That text spells "mad stalker" to me.
It's absolutely fine to do that. I took a girl out to coffee after she smashed into the back of my car. I was fine, she was fine and insurance ended up covering the damage. But she was so shaken up that I felt like it was the right thing to do.
We were together for 5 weeks.
Crash scene dates are totally hot right now.
Considering I have taken TLS's advice and am engaged to marry my ex's best friend, I have to back him up on that!
having said that though, I think a text message can work... maybe something like...
Hey *Insert Bike Guys name here*, Gen from the accident. just checking if U R ok. U looked pretty shaken up, thought you might like a coffee sometime?
play the caring angle.
alternatively. be direct.
Hey **..., Gen from Accident. Hope U R OK cause I think U R Hot, and I don't want to ride your bike is the tires are flat.
just some suggestions.
Personally, I think a 3some is in order with both the blokes involved in the accident...
I'm sure any moral objection the fellow has will dissipate once he realises he may get laid.
Yeah but you're a sicko Richardwatts.
Where is the courtship? the wooing? the sunset walks at St Kilda? the picnics? the request to the father for her daughter's hand in marriage? and finally the first night of passionate love on the wedding night?
I don't think there is a moral dilemma here at all. Nothing wrong with snatching up life's opportunities with both hands - under the guise of being a concerned citizen. I'm sure Gen is concerned ... I mean the hotties might be lonely and need some solicitous concern in their lives. I think Gen should text BOTH of them - just to be fair of course.
Okay, I meant to reply to this this morning and I am hella drunk now, but here's what I reckon:
First! WEAR A HELMET YOU MOTHERFUCKERS! God!@ I have been trying to tell people this fgor like ages!@ What's wrong with you! I despair! HOT PEOPLE DIE WITHOUT HELMETS!@
Second! I think Gen should go for the cyclist and kick the motorist to the kerb (in a literal way, to teach him his motherfuckin lesson) for he is a menace on the roads and does she really want to endorse that NO SHE DOESN"T.
Third! I think a texct message is the way to go, perhaps a phone call would be too confronting. PLEASRE USE PROPER LANGUAGE NO BULLSHIT TXT SPK KTHX.
Thankyou. My word verification is "ukayat" and yes, I am totally okay with what I just wrote.
Nova Scotia agree with most of your commenters.
They even put up helpful signs to make it clear.
And if a hot police officer is also attending the accident then they have this sign .
I think she should go for it!
