After reading Roissy's most recent blog entry about "selling yourself to girls" , I realized that I TOTALLY have this chick believing that I am a gangsta. Here is my response in his blog.
I totally want to have some fun with this. I don't expect to get many ideas over there, so fire away.....Spot on about how women WANT you to build the fantasy.
I recently contacted an old fling who moved out of town a couple of years ago to let her know I would be in her neck of the woods on business in a couple of months.
She was enthusiastic and offered to take a couple of days and show me around.
I told her that I was headed overseas for a week and then I would be in NYC for a couple of days.
She started asking what kind of business venture it is that I am starting, and since it is rather complicated, I told her that I would have to explain it to her when I am in town.
A couple of weeks later we start emailing back and forth about the logistics of the trip, and I ask her if it would be ok if I sent a package to her apartment so I wouldn’t have to carry my product samples on the plane.
This ignited her curiosity, and again she began grilling me about this new business, so I told her exactly what it is that I would be sending (I realized by then that it sounded a bit sketchy). She agreed to allow me to send the package, as long as it was ok if she opened it, because she’s “nosy like that”.
I agreed since there would be nothing in the box that I would have to worry about, and she seemed to be cool with that, UNTIL I said something about sending the package to the hotel instead so I could “make a few stops” between the time I got off the plane and when she got off work.
Curiosity killed the cat! Now she was SURE I was up to something shady, and she kept protesting that I send the box to HER.
It just so happens that her last email was sent on May 30th. Hehehe….April fools time baby!
On April 1st I sent her an email explaining that I might as well come clean “since you would have found out anyway”. I told her that although I’m not doing anything illegal, I was paid in an “unconventional way” on a recent business deal and I am bringing in some precious and semi-precious gems to sell while I am in town and I heard that “there are a couple of places in town that don’t ask any questions”.
At first she busted me on the April fools thing but I kept up the ruse and eventually had her believing it. I finally told her it was a joke, but she STILL thinks I’m yanking her chain and I’m up to some crazy illegal ****, jetting across the world and back, haha.
Although I didn’t go into details, I did tell her exactly what was going to be in the box (totally harmless product samples) and who I was REALLY going to be dropping them off to when I am in town, but she is having NONE of it. She WANTS to believe that I’m on some sort of secret international crime spree.
Now I just have to figure out a way to play it up. Maybe send her the box after all and sprinkle some fake jewels inside the product samples? Disappear without explanation for 20 minutes after a flurry of text messages one night when we are out? Act a little paranoid and tell her that we need to get to my hotel room ASAP?
I haven’t had this much fun since I was 8 years old. Ideas?
