Woulda...Shoulda

After sitting and shmoozing with a guy in a hotel lobby for some time, he got a phone call.

(Mistake number one- unless there is a crisis for which you are absolutely needed, the phone should be off. It sends a message if you don't- that you cannot even give someone your undivided attention for a few short hours. If you were with the boss, you would never pick up the phone.)

Moving on. He answers the phone and begins chatting with his friend. Being a chilled out person, this girl didn't mind. And then she heard it.

The friend asked the guy: I have a girl for you, wonna hear about her?
And the guy said: Sure.

The girl is less than five feet away, and hears this. When he gets off the phone, the guy tries to cover it up, not knowing she heard. She said no to another date with him, much to his amazement.

Now, if she were me- here's how my version would have gone:

After he says the word "sure" she calmly gets up from her seat and grabs the closest, most elaborate vase. She would then remove the flowers, save one which she gently hands to him, much to his confusion-phone still in his ear. Then in a swift graceful motion, swing the vase and in the most giving way possible- knock some sense into his head. Relationships are all about the giving, right?

Woulda....shoulda...
