OK, so I’m working in this office and there isn’t much around the place, except for this girl who’s a temp. She’s hot, really cute. I was introduced to her couple of months ago and than for a while we didn’t speak. I could have seen her as stuck up but thought she’s probably a bit shy, especially being in the presence of Armando, lol. One day we had a long convo and after that she was a lot more friendly. We’re approaching the end of our assignment and I’m wondering what is the best way to try it on with this girl. There is something about her, one day she came to work dressed in a tight white top, tight black pencil skirt and those knee high boots… she looked so good it almost made me physically sick!
I have this thing, I call it “talk up cock”. If you’re cocky you’re either “talk down cocky” whereby you talk other people down, they can’t do this, they can’t do that. Or you’re “talk up cocky”, you talk yourself and sometimes others up ie. “mistake? A man of my caliber doesn’t make mistakes”. This tends to attract a lot of woman, they like the alpha male who always has a sharp answer.
I’ve been having banter with this other girl (BJ) who has picked up on this and wanted to take a few shots, prove herself as quick witted. It all came to a head with the following Email trail which the hot girl was copied into:
The trail runs with the first messages at the top and began with a joke about Saddam Hussein and George Bush.

Guys
I came across this joke and thought it might be appropriate seeing as we have now been liberated from the oppressive regime of “General BJ”…. Oh what it is to be free!
Yours in the cause for freedom

Oh what a better world it would be if there were ALL Female rulers in every country. Clearly Men don’t know how to be in control and therefore the world has to suffer due to their everyday stupid mistakes.
PS: Diego (temp7) Your admiration for George Bush has been noted, I can clearly see the resemblance…

You mean like Margaret Thatcher, she did a greeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaatttttt job
I agree, men make stupid decisions… the decision to give woman the vote for example… ridiculous! I’ll bet if a woman had taken that decision it would have been THE RIGHT DECISION
George “Dubya” Bush? I’m more of a Che Guevara man, but I do see what you’re getting at..., it’s true that I tend to get a lot of attention off people for some reason (autograph requests are becoming a real irritation)… but to imply that I have “the eyes of the world on me” is taking it a bit too far I think
PS. Take it easy…. I’m only playing, if you’re gonna get upset I’ll stop

Well who said Margaret Thatcher was a WOMEN? there’s nothing a wee bit feminine about her…! She was the devils child (Damian) As my father says. Diego, your just in the wrong job, you should be protesting outside the house of parliament or something, lol. Now enough about the fake attention you are receiving in your dreams. Pull your self back to reality..

I wish it was fake, maybe than I’d be able to get to work on time. It takes me 4 hours to get to work each day and I only live 45 minutes away… all it takes is one person at the train station to shout “oh my God, it’s him” and they all come running… maybe I should wear some sort of disguise in future…
… your Dad sounds like an intelligent guy… is he like me in other ways too? Can he dance?

OK, so long as you’re sure, you seemed to get all pi**ed off for a minute there, wouldn’t wanna hurt your feelings…
…. You know what, I’m gonna stop, I don’t want anyone getting upset…
I’m just gonna do my work from now on… probably best for everyone…..
She than came back with:
If you cant handle it, I suggest you stop.
OK, so anyway, I’m running rings around this girl, she’s getting all wound up and sh**. A couple of the other girls are telling me how funny I am and how I’m making them laugh. The hot one mails me to say she’s going for some air, I say I’ll come, she comes to meet me at my desk.
We go for a walk and we’re talking about where we both live. I’ve been getting the feeling that she’s trying to ask me out, move in that direction, but that she’s a bit nervous about it. The day before she made some excuse to give me her personal Email address. So, than the convo goes.
Her: Where abouts do you live?
Me: [Tell her the area]
Her: Wow… you know I’m in that area practically every Friday
Me: Really?
At this point we’ve sat down on a bench
Her: Yeah, I meet up with friends and we go for drinks, you should join us sometime
Me: Yeah, let me know.
At this point she gets a bit nervous and changes the subject. I wait for her to finish, than:
Me: So yeah, give me a shout whenever
Her: Yeah, I’ll do that
Me: I’d better give you my number
Her: Yeah
I give her some line about not knowing my number, she had better give me hers so I can send her a text that way she’ll have my number (and I’ll also have hers). We exchange numbers.
We than talk about a load of other stuff and than go back to the office. The next day she’s quizzing me on my night out, who did I go out with etc… think she’s trying to ascertain if I have a girlfriend.
This was an interesting one. I think my overt displays of “talk up cocky” helped no end, she instigated this, I could see where she was trying to go… and made it easy for her. You know what woman are like… I don’t care what anyone says, this “Sex and the City” image of woman as forward, confident etc is fraudulent.
After this happened I got back to my desk and though “oh sh**, did that just happen? How easy was that”
