This is the most overused word on the internet. When I hear “alpha” I think of the guys who have nothing going for them except hours and hours spent in the gym exclusively doing bicep curls and no other exercises.
Chicks always have an eye out for the better deal. Its in their DNA. If she is interested in you, she will start complaining about her boyfriend to you. If she isn’t doing this, then your not next in line. Some other stiff is
Good call. Years ago this woman at my workplace pulled this with me. Liked her a lot but she was attached. Bitched about her boyfriend for a long time, I sensed a mutual interest, then said one day that they’d broken up the day before. While I’m truly the alpha-est alpha non-hacksaw BSD of AF, I know better than to make a move on a chick who just broke up with her boyfriend. A week later they got back together, now they’re married and have a kid and we’re friends on F-book.
It would have been more interesting if she is secretly raising your baby with the now husband. Like the majestic cuckoo bird, you must swoop in and claim your prize.
Ha ha. Yeah, you’re probably right. If I didn’t work with her, I might have made a move then. But I’m a firm beilever in, uh, not defecating where you sleep. If the breakup had stuck for a couple weeks, I probably would have gone for it. Of course, I look back at that moment - what, 13 years and a divorce later? - and think what the hell, should have gone for it then and there. Live your life, boys!
Oh, and bringing this back to the holiday season, at this same workplace, there was a Christmas party and this other girl chose the occasion to profess her interest in me. Nice girl, but definitely not worth breaking my rule for.
Three years ago we switched from the regular sort of dinner Christmas party to a lunch party on a Friday (Happens to be today) with everyone getting the afternoon off. It’s so much freaking better. No spouses involved. We go to the country club, have a nice lunch, get a $500 gift card and call it a day.
