女性の英会話劇場Woman's Story

Maria: And how was the mixer?

Sharon: Very interesting, and very enlightening. I learnt the “correct” way of initiating a relationship, from women’s point of view.

Maria: Enlighten me.

Sharon: I found a few men interesting, and I thought I might e-mail some of them, but this girl I met at the party told me initiating contact would be the last thing any clever woman would do.

Maria: A mixer is not a place to make friends with girls!

Sharon: Let me finish first. According to this girl, who is a devout reader of manuals of how to get Mr. Right, even if a guy contacts you and asks you for a date, you shouldn’t respond immediately. You should at least wait for a couple of days before you say anything, in order to make his desire to see you even stronger. You’ve got to play cool in front of men, you know. What she told me was a real eye-opener.

Maria: I never thought you were that pathetic.

Sharon: I’m aware of that.

Maria: And did you obey her rules?

Sharon: Unfortunately, no one has contacted me since the party, except for the girl I’ve just talked about!
