Again, yet another gem from my writing prompt book.
As I said in the blog about my husband, I'm not very good at flirting. So, I don't have any pick up lines, or really know of any that would work for me. I was thinking probably the best and most effective pick up line is simply 'Hello'.
Also queried my husband on this one, and he thought about it for a few minutes. Then responds with 'Hi'.
It reminds me though of when we first met. At the end of the day, he's carrying his drill and I'm locking up the office. He turns and says to me, know what they say about men with big drills?
I'm thinking 'likely the same thing they say about men with big boots'. Big Feet.
He then says 'big bits'. Of course I rolled my eyes, but it did make me laugh.
It's really no wonder we're together.
This also reminds me of a time before we were together. One of the friends I had at the time had a serious thing for cowboys. I'm not about faux cowboys, the ones who are actual cow hands, men who work the land etc., I could muster up some respect for them, but not many of the pretend cowboys that used to frequent this favorite spot of hers.
I'm also not overly fond of country music, so going to places like this was more of a painful experience than anything, but because she liked the cowboys, a few of her friends would go with her. One night she comes up with the thought to just out and out say something unexpected and see what the fellow said. She had a few shots of liquid self esteem before we got into a cab and headed off to our destination.
We're there for a bit, she's had a couple more drinks. I'm standing there kind of off to the side, minding my own business sipping on a Pepsi. She wanders up to the guy in front of me and says, "Nice Boots, Wanna ____!!!" I nearly spit my drink out.
See my friend was a preacher's daughter. I hadn't ever heard this kind of language out of her, let alone see her so forward. For that to come out of her mouth, she had to be pretty close to passing out.
The guy, over the din of the place, and the music goes WHAT?!?! Sincerely shocked too. Then he looks at her, and then at me, and goes 'Damn lady, you nearly gave me a heart attack.' She didn't get a date, but they did dance a few before the rest of us peeled her off of him and took her back home.
It was a night I know I'll never forget. Yikes.
