"Much better."We sat back down and started talking. She began telling me stories
of being in Italy and learning to sing Opera. I started digging into her
experiences asking about her favorite roles and characters she has
explored.
Lacey spots the two of us getting close and interjects, "Sorry buddy,
but you have no shot with her."
"What are you talking about?""You can try all you want, but seriously, you have no shot getting her
in bed with you."
"Are you suggesting I'm trying to have sex with your friend? We
were just talking about how she studied Opera in Italy, and I found it
really fascinating."
"Yea, well, obviously she is very beautiful, but you have no shot.""Look, I don't know why you are suddenly accusing me of trying to
take her home, but that's not my intention. Sure, I admit she is a very
beautiful woman, but I think it's important to appreciate someone for
more than just their looks alone. But, if you’re letting me know you don't
think I'm handsome enough or charming enough to talk to her, then okay,
I guess I could just leave."
"No, sorry, I was just kidding. I wasn't saying you aren't handsome
or charming. I was joking. Relax. That was really amazing what you said
about valuing women for more than just their looks. It's just, not many
guys are like that. You must not have always been that way; what
changed?"
