We FINALLY had lunch earlier this week after weeks of playing phone tag and no "I can't make it" and "no, she can't make it."

We had a very nice lunch and talked mostly about what she did for a living, her kid(s) -- that she actually was kinda tipsy when we talked at the wedding, talked a bit about politics (she's a flaming moderate), a bit about her ex, and our fave movies. All in all a nice 2 hour lunch. Did I bring up WAM again? Nope. (Keep this in mind). While I will mention it if I can the first time I talk to a woman I'm WAMinterested in, the first time AFTER that, almost never. The last thing I want her to think is that I'm obsessed with it. (I'm not).

NOTE: One of my high school teachers once told the class if you want to make sure someone has a good time on a date, talk about THEM as much as possible. People love to talk about themselves. That way, their overall feeling about the date will be a positive one. I also used to do this when interviewing for a job when I was younger.

But I digress...

So I'm on the train back from the city to da burbs, when a text pops up that says "You didn't mention that pie thing at lunch. I thought FOR SURE when we were asked if we wanted anything for dessert you would mention it."

I actually saw her look at me right at that point, but didn't reference it all.

Long story short, we're having lunch again in a few weeks...and yeah, THEN I will certainly go into WAM "details."

To be continued.....

Job Interviewer: So why do you want this job?
Robby: Why do YOU think I want this job?
Job Interviewer: Um.... OK.... Let's try something else. What's your biggest weakness?
Robby: Even better, what's YOUR biggest weakness?
Job Interviewer: Get out.

Rich, that is 100% false. We all know Robby has never applied for a job!

Hap has a valid point.

To clarify for the conceptually challenged:

If you go into the office of an interviewer, scan their office, see what they like (there are usually pictures of those activities....fishing, hunting, sperlunking (if he's Batman), pictures of kids, a baseball on his desk, whatever. Visual clues that youi can ask about. Ask about them, just like a "date" the interviewer will remember that it was a good interview even subconciously because he talked about himself.

We now return you to your challenged environment.

Tip the UMD waitresses, try the veal. But don't tip them too far over.

(stares at Rich)

The speed dating scene in 40 year old virgin comes to mind, and the first woman he talks to

How are you?
I'm fine
Are you fine?
Yea...
So you're fine then?

I can't speed date. I'm too old. So, I carbon date.

So Robby, did anything else ever come of this? Also still waiting for more of your real-life stories.

What a wonderful story hope you two get in a good fight to speed things up

Wait. Has Robby been Keyser Soze all along?

The greatest trick I ever played was convincing people WAM didn't exist.....and then like that....I threw something at Jayce.

Yes...although potential WAM fun has been delayed for a least a month or two. She has Covid.
She feels absolutely fine and actually she has been asking me a LOT of questions about WAM...lol...mainly because she's basically in quarantine and I think bored out of her mind.

I have now sent her a few links to various examples of WAM from the Stooges to a WLP video to the AI video I shot with Jayce. (She kept asking..."were those her OWN clothes?")

But I'm sure she gets the concept much better than initially.

And yeah, I have a few more unique WAM experiences to share, I just can't find the time to sit down and type them out. I will............eventually.

Well, I certainly understanding waiting a beat with COVID. Looking forward to hearing about it when you get there, as is the case with your tales of WAM adventure.

Okay,THAT was well done. I may have to use that one myself eventually. I will add it to the "I don't suppose you might happen to have a latent paleontology fetish?" (If she is cute and replies "Huh?" she has my attention, but IF she laughs and replies "Yeah, well, I'm still talking to YOU, aren't I?" then she has my interest.
