Spark of Romance

 Dares from colleagues can end in comedy, tragedy, or a mix.  Tonight's dare ended with a valuable lesson.

Chapman, Lolu and I were drinking some Heine-ys at Lux and noticed a particularly boring couple sitting quietly in the corner.  Both very fashionably dressed (she had a bold coif reminiscent of Anna Wintour's banged bob), we couldn't help but notice how incredibly awkward this date must feel as minutes passed between pleasantries.  This is when my "big bros" dared me to do something I was very uncomfortable doing.  Intervening.

BUT...much to my surprise.  Their plan worked.

During this sociological experiment, we discovered something fantastic:
If you ever want to light a spark of romance in a boring couple's conversation at a bar...approach the man when she goes to the powder room and ask if he's in a relationship with her.  If he says "yes," say "she's a lucky girl."  Even if he says "no," giggle and say "I was going to say 'she's a very lucky girl.'"  I saw a lame-ass 30-something couple go from zero to 60 in 7 seconds flat.  As soon as she got back from the bathroom, the deal was practically sealed.  He turned into a Dutch Don Juan...kissing and hugging the shit out of her.

They paid their tab and left, arm in arm, minutes after she returned from the WC and he shot me a huge, victorious smile as they walked by.  :)

Home team wife killers!!

Saving one painful date at a time,

PS - Don't dare me to do things.  I can't deny a double dog.
