Talking with ladies, continued

—Several minor word-tricks are making it so ladies wanna talk with me.
So yes, I hope my pretty lifeguard friend at Canandaigua’s YMCA swimming-pool has returned from Floridy by Wednesday.
She’s married, she’s 65 years old — doesn’t look it on her lifeguard stand — and most importantly she’s female and rather striking.
She counters “no pretty lady will associate with you!”
Ergo, we seem to be friends. We laugh and talk, and she never walks away from me.
She even smiled at me once — something I never will forget!
She’s not an easy smiler, so WOW!
“No pretty lady will smile at you!” But suddenly POW!
Direct eye-contact.
I have a small story I wanna tell her. Actually it’s not a story; it’s more a question. She likes my stories I guess.
I have a second female lifeguard friend at that pool, who also doesn’t look her age.
I ran the following past her: “I noticed when I walk into the lobby, and look up into the pool-area to see if you or ***** are here, you usually see me pretty quick, then wave. So my question is whether or not you are getting a signal or something which tells you I’m looking for you.”
“No signal,” she said, but I still wonder.
Next is to run that past my 65-year-old lifeguard friend.
“When you get a chance, I have a question for you.”
“I used to get this with my wife,” I’d say. “We used to finish each other’s sentences,” or “‘I was just thinking the same thing!’”
Notice my wording readers: I’m giving her the option of refusing to talk with me.
That is a lot friendlier than just starting to talk to her. I'm not shoving something down her throat. She can send me packing if she wants.
“Some day,” I say to my aquacise instructor; “I hope we can talk about what physical-therapy has me doing.”
Wording here readers: I just gave her two options. “I don’t wanna talk,” or “some other time.”
Prior experience tells me she’ll probably wanna talk.
“Some day,” I once said to my lifeguard friend; “I hope I can tell you my elevator story.”
SCREECH! Shift finished, she was about to swim laps.
“You go swim your laps!” I said.
“Those laps can wait!” she said. She’s giving me the look.
Notice how I worded things readers: I didn’t just start telling her the story.
If I had, she woulda walked away to swim her laps.
Another word-trick is to tell the lady I wanna hear her input: “I hope we can talk…..” not “I wanna talk to you.”
Let her know it will be us talking, not just me = I want her input.
Women are just as capable of inspired thinking as men; perhaps even more so.
Females are very desirable and enjoyable to us men-folk, but most desirable to This Kid is what’s between the ears.
“Your problem is you think too much,” my critics will say.
My guess is the average male learned how to talk to women at an early age. I’m learning 70 years late.
If I use the right words, I have incredible and mind-blowing success talking with ladies.
I enjoy it, and I think they do too.
