So I'm talkin to this girl at work who just started maybe two and a half- 3 weeks ago, she's totally cool and there's some mild chemistry there, but she's got a dude, which is not a big deal, as I'm not hurting in that department right now by any stretch--sometimes life is good--- but given her coolness, if she was single I would probably date her, but if nothing else she's a cool chick to talk to/ hang out with whilst I date a plethora of other girls ( being single= awesome),
the evil part comes in during today as this girl and I are talking, just b.s.ing and she mentions the boyfriend, who seemed like an awright enough dude, as she talks I do what I usually do when I talk to women, I ask them questions, and let them go on and on,
and in the cases of some females on and on some more and go into 'listening' mode and show interest ( or at the very least pay attention for awhile, and then fake it while I think about something else, and occasionally throw in a 'uh huh', 'wow', 'really?' etc. gotta be honest, don't judge me, that's still not the evil part, but it's a confession I feel I must make. I feel better. )
I'm sure most of ya'll are well aware ( and the females in here can confirm or destroy this theory) but being listener/observant guy works like a charm; especially if you pay attention to some minute detail and the drop it into conversation at a later date---
e.g. " oh yeah, I remember that day, you had on that one black top with those ear rings your mom gave you."
" You remembered that?"
"Yeah, I always remember lil stuff like that about you."
"
I -I can't believe you remembered that"
It might sound ridiculous, but it's been field tested by me.
Anyhow, back to the story at hand, the girl is telling me about this guy for the longest time her parents really didn't like him, how they've been together nearly four years, and blah blah blah ( sorry, I didn't really catch part of it-- again don't judge me) But I ask,
so are you guys engaged or what?
Yep.
Ah, that's cool, have ya'll set a date?
...no.
Ah, in no hurry?
No, we've been engaged for about two years now.
Oh yeah?
...yeah.
Then she turns the conversation toward something else for awhile, talking 'bout her parents and whatnot and here comes the me being evil part-
"wow 2 years?"
"what?"
"you said you guys have been engaged for nearly two years?"
"yeah."
"Huh. That's a long time."
"Yeah."
(and right here, italicized for possible evilness)
So what are you guys waiting on?
"... 'sigh' I don't know."
Whaddya'll think? Too much? ell oh ell.
