Finding my way - part 5

[pilot]

You need to throw in some GAL that includes other people...not just cats. The last thing you want is him to think you are already turning into the 'old cat lady'.

Even if you have to fudge a bit, throw in something that you did with your friends. For example, lets say you went and had coffee with a friend named Becky a few days ago. These are different ways you can tell that story, you pick which one you think best gives the impression you want to send him.

1. Becky and I went and had coffee Friday evening.
2. Becky and I were having coffee and telling me really funny stories.
3. I was having coffee with a friend Friday night and spent the night laughing.
4. I was out Friday night with someone and we had the best time!!! I have not laughed that hard in years! I think we are going out again this weekend.

See how from 1 to 4 the story gets a little better? 1 sounds pretty boring. 4 sounds like you had an awesome date, and you are hoping you get asked out again for the next weekend. It also makes him think who made you laugh harder than he has. In other words, it challenges his male ego.

Now obviously this was not your story, but I am sure you have something you have done recently you can work with.
