Score

I can tell you’re going to come over here I’ve seen that look before can you tell my date has stood me up and you think you are going to score? here you are on your approach my defenses are ready to go come on over and take your best shot let’s see what you have to show “is this seat taken?” you ask as you sit down except for mine they all are if you’d only look around I shrug my shoulders and move my bag you could have sat on the other side you’re moving your chair closer trying to hit your stride come on now Romeo, it’s go time let’s see what you have got I’m not staying much longer you are a real long shot but you are a little bit different you start talking about your day not being at all flirtatious not making me feel like your prey you tell me some amazing stories both funny and sincere I’m dropping my defenses and starting to like it here I think I could have been wrong about you and where I thought this was leading there is no innuendo you just talk to me with feeling the night goes on quite smoothly you seem genuine and real it’s a long time since I’ve talked like this you’ve got a lot of appeal you say “if it’s not to forward, I’d like to give you a call” “I’ve enjoyed meeting you immensely and you’ve kept me quite enthralled.” so I give you a number from the cleaners down the street thank you for a lovely evening and hasten my retreat
