The Tao of Steve
DUDE!! I totally pulled a Steve (I'll explain the Steve later). If you can refer back to my neighbor situation from entries here and here. I had to work late today so by the time I got home I was starving with no food in the house. Well I didn't feel like grocery shopping or just getting something to go. I wanted good food and company to enjoy it with. Out of nowhere, and I mean nowhere I got up from my geek seat and walked over next door. Knocked, and worked my magic. She let me in without even asking what I wanted. Just a friendly "Hey! come in, come in... how are you... yada yada." She then jumped on her coffee table and slowly started sliding off her top while looking deeply into my eyes. Ok, ok, I had to... right?
Back to the story. I then asked her if she wanted to have dinner with me. I explained to her how I didn't have any food at my place and wanted to see if she would join me. She smiled but refused because she was studying for her MCATs. However, she said she can have dinner at her place. Being the gentleman that I am, I asked what she likes and I would bring it over. She happened to like seafood and decided we were going to have Chinese food. SCORE! This is a good thing; A. she's not a total vegetarian, B. she digs SUSHI! Can you say, wazzzaaahhhbiii.
I get to the restaurant and looked over the menu searching for Orange Shrimp. Well Jebus Christ, they didn't have it. This turned out to be a good thing though, Polibus Maximus came through. I asked for sweet and sour shrimp without the sweet and sour sauce but the orange sauce. Just to cover my bases I also ordered vegetable stir fry so she'll have her options as well as 3 drinks to choose from. Mad props right? This also gave me an opportunity to get her number because it would have been useful.
Back at her place I presented her with her options. I swear it's like one of those things where you have a vision in your mind and it turned out the way you envisioned it. I could tell she was impressed. We ate, talked, laughed. We just had a great time. Knowing she had some studying to do, I left her the vegetarian stir fry and she gave me a full body hug (good lawd!) She also wrote down her cell number and gave it to me. :)
I'd have to say she's different. She doesn't listen to your typical radio music, she's a total environmentalist, and we disagree on some things. But hey, it gave us something to talk about. I also got a lot of good signs, touching, smiling, etc. Just an overall good vibe. I didn't even ask for her number, I just mentioned it when we were about to have dinner. She did give me her digits as I left without me asking for it. Damn skippy! It's about time a grew some balls.
So the Steve reference is from the movie The Tao of Steve. How all the cool guys are named Steve... Steve McQueen and such. A philosophy of how you want to be a Steve instead of a Stu. Steve gets laid, Stu gets rejected over and over again. :)
