Save it

Actual conversation held with an acquaintance at school:

Her: So, have you met anyone?

Me: No, not since last week when you asked me.

Her, sad: Oh...

Me, in an attempt to give her something so she wouldn't ask again: But, my professor at school is pretty cute.

Her, suddenly interested: Really? How old?

Me: Mid thirties, maybe?

Her: Is he married?

Me, mortified she would even ask: No! Well, at least he wasn't wearing a ring.

Her: So, what are you going to do to "rope" him in?

Me, chuckling and realizing that now, instead of her asking me if I met anyone, she would ask about him: I haven't really thought that far.

Her, in an advisory manner: Well, whatever you do, save your laugh for the second date.

Me...speechless.

I LOVE your laugh! She's absolutely right - it's like a secret weapon and he won't be able to resist you after hearing it! Your laugh is infectious and sometimes I listen to you laughing on your video blogs just to cheer me up!

I agree with Jeanine. It is one of my favorite things about you.
Her tact is NOT one of my favorite things about your ACQUIANTANCE AT SCHOOL. The nerve.

Don’t smile until Christmas, and don’t laugh until the second date.
