Seduction 101
Well, today I struck up a bit of an alliance with a friend of Darkside's from a past computer class.
It was interesting to get a bit of a parallax view of the guy. His friend (the taller lady in the pink shirt who I saw hugging him back quite a while ago) told me about how she got to know him. They were working in a group together, and they had to do something with DOS, and most of them were clueless about it, but Darkside got this evil gleam in his eye and plunged in, typing with both hands and very fast. "Okay, thanks!" they said, and wanted to get back to doing the project.
"Mine, all mine!" Darkside said, and monopolized the computer.
The rest of the group clustered around the lady. "We've got to do something," they said. "He's your friend; you tell him." She had a little talk with him, and apparently he's settled down some.
Sis and I have only known him since October, and he's been a very quiet and settled type of guy since we've known him. I see that manic edge, though. I like that manic edge.
I verified that the lady is indeed engaged. I'd seen a sparkly ring on her finger the next time I encountered her with Darkside, and I commented to her that I'd wondered...
She hadn't been hanging around with him so much anymore after she'd noticed that either Sis or I was most likely dating him. I told her the official version, that Sis had been dating him, and then they broke up, and now he was on the rebound, but I ... heh. I had cunning plans for once he was no longer on the rebound.
She was mildly surprised by the whole she dates/I try to date thing; I explain our conference before we told him we liked him in the first place: "I want to date him." "Gosh, so do I. Well, you first, sister." "No, after you." "No, I insist." "No, please. You first."
So we had to leave the decision up to him, and he chose her. But, upon learning that we both for sure liked him, he -- unlike some guys -- didn't run screaming, but did put his elbows on the table, his head in his hands, and got this *look* on his face that I would be hard-pressed to describe. His friend, upon seeing my re-enactment of it, just cracked up laughing.
She shook hands with me and wished me the best of luck. I assured her that my intentions toward her friend were honorable. She looked at me with that "yeah right" thing, and said, "Just so long as you don't hurt him, but you wouldn't ... and whatever else you do is just between you and him. Good luck!"
There were smiles and hugs all around.
