“Good timing” is not an event. It is just the juxtaposition of single moments that come together to present a moment of opportunity. It can easily turn into bad timing.
A one-night stand can be a result of good timing. A man listens to a song introduced to him by a random friend He goes to a bar. In the bar he picks the song at the jukebox. A woman is in the bar. She’s drinking more heavily tonight because her boyfriend is being a total ass. Prior to bar, she has been listening to previously mentioned song as a healing moment. Man plays song in bar, woman is touched by it. She walks over, connection established. She’s ovulating. He has blueballs. One-night stand coming right up.
Bad timing: Woman still dealing with old boyfriend. Man shattered in life by his abandonment issues but attends an intensive psycho-therapy curriculum, yet not quite ready enough to go back into the playground. Both their careers are barely floating. But they love sex so they keep on keepin’ on. Sooner or later, the sex isn’t enough and they’re both head cases. Bad timing.
