Making the first move...

I went out over the weekend to a few different braais around joburg at a number of different friend's places. At one such braai I spent some time chatting to some girl I didn't know for all of about 5 minutes. You know the usual, have we scored before (my opener), you look familiar, why are your pupils so large? Random chit chat.

Anyway, I didn't stay at the braai long, I had other people to see so I left and continued on my Joburg rounds. Last night I get this call. I don't recognise the number. I'm having my kitchen redone at the moment so thought it might be the builders calling to tell me when they're arriving in the morning. No such luck. It's this girl. She's got my number through a 'friend' and is phoning to ask me out. Now I'm a man and I should be flattered I hear you say but 2 things are going through my mind while she's nervously trying to get to the point. Firstly, why do people (my friends) find it acceptable to give my number to this stranger just because I'm single and then not at least warn me about it. I mean if I had actually wanted to ask her out I would have taken her number myself but anyway, at least tell me you've sold my number to the highest bidder. Secondly, what does this girl look like. I met a few women that night through random introductions. Who is this girl? Was she cute?

Anyway, I had no pre-planned excuse so I accepted her invitation. To be honest I admire her 'balls' for phoning me up and let's hope she's attractive enough (I don't recall talking to any fatties)

Unfortunately, and this is the point of this blog entry, I don't hold much faith in the latter. No matter what people choose to believe, whenever a woman asks you out she has A. given away the upper hand B. probably a little needy and C. probably not that good looking. But then I have a tendency to be a little shallow at times. Something I'm addressing by agreeing to this date so let's see how it all pans out....
