Thank You, Southwest Airlines.
I met Her on the flight home from my Mum’s. I always scope the seat next to a cutie as I’m getting on the flight. I actually look forward to having someone in front of me with oversized baggage, looking for room in an overhead compartment-usually in the C class of Southwest; festival seating at its finest. That way I can look, without looking, for a seat next to a chick, on a 737 Southwest airplane (that’s all they fly, they save money that way, but I think I’ve strayed off topic). I travel light, so any seat is a good one. Just throw your bag under the seat in front of you, and make yourself at home. Look at your book, pretend you’re reading, and then put a quarter in me with an opener… it all goes from there.
“Hey, are you going home, or heading out?” Or: “Is that a good book?” It all works. This time my opener was, “hey, can I sit here? I promise not to breath on you.” Yeah, that’s me… smooooth. Look, I just had a cig outside the terminal, and then (3) three beers at the airport bar. “Where the f**k are my got-dam mints,” I thought as I sat down. Oooh, here’s one… I’m saved.
So, I chatted up the gal as best I could. I sensed she digged me, and I got her number. No big, it’s happened before, like it’s happened to you.
Without going into details, let’s just say things went well. She’s conservative (bonus!) politically, but libertarian socially (extra bonus!). And she votes… has never missed one. Hey, that’s just like me, if you don’t vote you’re a f**king idiot. This last weekend we even spent some time looking over some ballet measures because there were certain conflicting recommendations from different Republican sources. I’m serious, she’s all that.
She thanks Southwest for our serendipitous meeting, but she seems to be thanking me for sitting down next to her more. I actually told her about my “tactics,” like asking what’s Her name, and not giving mine, then waiting to see if she asks, “and your name is?” I explain it this way: “men have no way to see if a women is interested unless we use these tactics, it kinda evens the playfield, don’t you think?” This is another tactic, how would a woman respond to that question? It is very telling, I’ve found.
She didn’t like my essay on Need vs. Want, but she liked my writing style. Hey, if I piss her off every now and then, maybe she won’t think of me as a nice guy.
