During our lunch break yesterday, a close colleague and I went to the mall to get something to eat. WE stopped of at one of those fast-food joints that has a take-away section, but also has a sit-down area where you can eat your food, should you feel like it.
We were almost at the front of the queue, when he unexpectedly freaked out.
HE (covering the one side of his face): Oh shit… oh shit… oh shit!!
ME (alarmed): What’s the matter? Did we forget something?
HE: That girl sitting over there. I don’t want her to see me.
ME (doing some serious rubbernecking): Which one? Where?
HE: The blond sitting over there in the corner… with the red blouse on.
ME: I see her. How do you know her?
HE: I kinda tried to pick her up in a bar last week. Things went really well, she gave me her phone number and I promised to call.
ME: So what’s the problem?
HE: I never called.
ME (smiling): Why not? She‘s really hot.
HE: Uh, yeah… there’s a slight problem. I already have a girlfriend.
ME (amused): Ouch! I forgot about that. You should’ve just told her the truth.
HE: I know that now. (Insert gf’s name) had a major fallout earlier that week. I truly believed we were over. I was feeling kinda low and I enjoyed the attention. It’s nice to be desired. The next day (insert name of gf) and I sorted things out. Calling back seemed wrong. What would I have said to her?
ME: Erm… “I had good time last night, but I am not ready to get involved”
HE: Wise ass! I know… I’ll put my glasses on so she won’t recognise me.
[He puts the glasses on]
ME: So… what… you’re like Clark Kent now?
HE (anxious): Shut up and walk. Let’s just get out of here.
ME (disappointed): But what about the food? I am friggin hungry, dammit!
HE: I’ll stick you for a proper lunch tomorrow.
Me (giggling): Dude, you are seriously messed up. I was so looking forward to seeing you squirm.
Can I use this to blackmail you next time I need a favour?
God men are just such wimps. Most of woman’s hang ups over “why didn’t he call” could be solved if they just had the guts to tell us that they weren’t interested!!! Stupid men.
I also had a similar embarrassing moment on my train ride home last night like that, cept then there was no escape …
You should get someone to phone him and pretend to be the girl in question… something like “hi, i got your number from so-’n-so… why did you never call back… I thought we had something good…” etc. then see him FREAK out
Isn’t Lois Lane the only woman the “put on glasses” trick works on?
Ha! He’s bound to run into her again. Best to face her and get it over and done with.
Miss M: If a guy has not called you back in a week, I think it is safe to say he will never call.
You are right though, we are wimps!
Tripeak: He’d prolly have a thrombosis. That would be fun to see.
IB: For all her savvy Lois Lane is a bit stupid when it comes to Clark Kent/Superman.
I wish my girl was as easily fooled.
I’d use it for future blackmail material. You never know when you might need him to help you out.
Putting on glasses as a disguise? That is a classic!
Chitty – but why do guys take your number in the first place, miss call you so that you have theirs and then just never reply? What is up with that?!
I am of the belief that if you don’t hear from him in 2 days after the intial contact then it just isn’t worth it.
I wrote a post giving your colleague a good old slap on the wrist on behalf of all woman out there that didn’t get that promised phone call but it got lost!! Huh
Well, at least he didn’t try to cover his head in napkins or build a fort out of ketchup packets. Although THAT might have been even better for blackmail. Inform him that Official Disguise Kits are available for discreet purchase at many sites on the internet.
I think I should write a post why I have not called girls back after they have given me their phone number. That oughta shed some light on the subject.
Besides, it will be good for a laugh… what you feel on the night and on the next day is entirely different, especially when you take shagging her out of the equation.
Watch this space!
Fantastic, get to understand the way the mens mind works!
