This is a new one on me.I’ve never heard of this.

So you take a woman hiking and then you walk quickly away from her, when you’re in an isolated spot? And this is how you break up with her?

So what do you tell her, when she calls you afterwards and says what the heck happened to you? Then, do you have to explain to her that this was your action of breaking up?

But then don’t you end up having the conversation you wanted to avoid.

Or is this so well known? And i’m just out of touch that this is the way to break up with a woman nowadays?

Does the woman know that’s what it means when she’s out on a hike with a man and he disappears?

Or what happene when her family and friends report her as a missing person? And then law enforcement will come looking for you, because you’re a key person who was probably the last one to see her alive. If the worst happened to her out on the trail, how are you going to explain yourself to law enforcement when they investigate?

Or, Dilbert, you could just TALK her to death...LOL! :)

Perhaps it was just a problem caused by her doing the map reading, hoping to ask for directions on he trail.
