The book ‘Successful Dates’ was given to me by my colleague–VedranaKorovich. Vedrana is a young girl who came to our office for job practice from Serbia last year and stayed. I always share my dating experiences with her.
Here is my date number two, please listen.
In the book it says that girls like smart guys. I work as an engineer for a ship manufacturing company. I help to construct big boats, so I am pretty smart. I decided not to hide my smartness on the second date.
The plan for the date was to have a ride on a boat on a beautiful lake for about an hour and a half and then go to a restaurant and have dinner together. The plan was excellent and my date was really excited about it.
The name of my date was Angelica. She had red short curly hair, big blue eyes and beautiful white teeth. Please remember her teeth, because they are very important in this story.
We got into a boat. I took the oars and began to row. I decided not to lose precious time and started to impress my date with my extensive knowledge of keels; what shapes and sizes they should be to successfully steer ships of different types and sizes.
Ten minutes into my explanation, my date was looking at me with sincere curiosity, so I kept describing types of ships for the next half an hour, talking about their length and masses.She was saying: “Hmm, I see,” showing her genuine interest in ships.Then as I kept talking she started to nod. That’s when I understood that ships for my date had the same high importance as it had for me, even though she was a hairdresser.
