Even though I think that line rocks, is it just me or does it seem as if some guys just don't want to get a life? That they think that being vague about not doing anything would interest a woman.
Women complain about guys not having anything to say and guys complain about not knowing what to talk about. You'd think that actually finding something to do over the weekend would give people something to talk about. Go figure...
In this specific instance:
1. Drinking at a bar
2. The first thing that popped into my head was "fuxed the FB on every futon in my place (4), on the fourth, I took her azz virginity and gave her an azz orgasm" I couldn't really answer with that, and, didn't care to recount what else I did because:
3. Her question was a canned question to start the conversation back up after a lull.
4. At first, she laughed at my antics and said "Oooooh", then got serious and took a pull off her drink.
She obviously got it. From there, I effectively diverted the convo back to what I wanted: her to talk about herself. She was obviously a little salty when the convo resumed: Good. Emotion. Working her jealousy nerve.
Sure, I could have told her the whole schedule, "I went fishing with a friend, it was a riot. I got my "garden" planted and the beans are already popping up. Took my cat for a walk, went bowling with the locals, and of course, had the ****tail party." But, cold, slimy fish don't exactly get a woman "in the mood", neither do beans. I had plenty to talk about (aka: have a life), but she didn't care what I did, she just wanted to hear me talk.
Furthermore, "Fake it till you make it" and "hook" come into play a bit here. If I didn't have what she believes was an "exciting" weekend, well, now she can imagine that I did. She could also imagine I sat around playing video games, but that isn't likely since I was fun, exciting, and made her feel some emotions when around her... She's going to imagine that my weekend was fun, exciting, and would have made her feel some emotion if she was involved.
The bottom line is: she'll be thinking of ME.
