Ladies, I want to hear the most innocent-sounding thing you’ve ever said to someone who had no idea you liked them. I’m thinking of a line like “What time are you getting there?” It sounds like a question about scheduling. It is also, technically, a question about scheduling. The schedule just happens to have one person on it.
Or maybe yours was “Save me a seat.” Four words, all perfectly ordinary. By the time you said them, you might already have worked out which side of the table you wanted to be on and how early you could show up without looking like you’d worked out which side of the table you wanted to be on.
I’m curious how far you took it. Was it so subtle that the other person simply gave you the information you asked for? Did they catch on and leave you to decide how committed you were to the idea that you’d just been asking about a chair?
What did you actually say, and how did they take it?
