A risky piece
I am an English teacher. All English teachers lie. But I am telling you the truth.
My date with an english teacher...
He said...
So tell me about yourself, your life, your history and past experiences but I don't want to know everything. Tell me too much and I'm bored, tell me too little and I'm hungry.
She said...
What do you want me to say?
He said...
I can't tell you what to say. I'm not you. You are you. If I were you, I wouldn't ask because I'd already know.
How's your dinner?
She said...
It's good. The steak is...
He said...
Don't use so many too many adjectives describing it too me. You can tell me without telling me. Telling me all about it gives it away.
Can I kiss you goodnight?
She said...
Yes.
He said...
Don't just say yes. Make me wonder a little. Make me want more. Keep me interested. I think I may be falling in love with you. Don't get emotional. Emotion takes away from what it is I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say without saying it, is really saying what it is I want to say.
Long kiss....
She said...
Goodnight.
He said...
That's too obvious an ending. you'll say more by saying nothing.

And men think woman are hard to please!
I like it, it was cute and telling to much can over kill it, I see.
Ummm....wow? Dunno if this is a good or bad date.
Better than half of mine.
I've never been on a date that did not feature at least one and sometimes two present or future English teachers.
All English teachers lie, I enjoyed reading that piece
But I'm telling the truth, aaron!
Actually, fran, a lot of the comments she put in the mouth of the English teacher were pretty much exactly the comments I'd been leaving on her blog--she just added a layer of snottiness I don't usually reach.
I AM a real pain in the ass, though.
haha
WOW, now that's creative!
interesting... I like it.
