FEMALE LOGIC” He exclaimed!

2 Girlfriends (GF’s) were exchanging confidences while Spouse eavesdropped (as usual) and yeah, I was doing it too :). The news was that GF 1 was actually going on a date! So WHAT was the big deal? Well she was just plain fussy and GF 2 had been bugging her for yonks to get out there into the fun lights.

Fussy’s problem was well, she’s just plain fussy!!! She’s one of those people who is quite happy entertaining herself and others and gets a load of fun out her various routines. Yes you’re right – she’s just a tad strange it would seem, and manages to get a kick out of life without pairing up with someone(s) at the usual round of activities and places which many feel are a ‘must’ in order to be seen to be normal. And, somehow Fussy didn’t seem to feel like she was missing anything by not spinning the temperamental wheel of the Dating Game along with her friends and colleagues.

SO when she announced that she had actually accepted an invitation, well, well, well, this was NEWS. Of course GF 2 wanted to know what was so special about this guy. Ahem – and that’s the hilarious part. Really!

GF 2 “SO what’s he like, what does he do, how did you meet. And Fussy dutifully divulged the bare details. But when it came to “what’s he like?” she said:
GF 1 “Well I don’t really like him. He’s sort of creepy”
GF2 “What do you mean ‘creepy’? Then WHY are you going out with him?”
GF1 “Well, He was a bit too enthusiastic”
GF2 “Maybe he was impressed by you!”
GF1 “Weeeeeeell. I don’t know, really. I mean he’s okay but a bit forward”
GF 2 “Yes, AND? Why are you going, then? You know, this just doesn’t sound right”
GF1 “It’ll be okay”
GF2 “Well you don’t know that! In this day and age you’ve got to be careful, you know. I want you to leave word about exactly where you’ll be so that we can rescue you if necessary!”
GF1 “It’s okay – really! I’ve refused to let him fetch me and am driving myself”
GF 2 “Well you still haven’t said why you’re going out with this guy anyway. What’s up?”
GF1 “You’re ALWAYS bugging me to get out and he’s sort of okay, so I’m going. I mean it’s about time I refreshed my dating skills and I might as well practice on someone I’m not that keen on so that I won’t feel so bad if it doesn’t work out, see? If I like the guy and it turns out to be a bad date, THEN I’ll feel miserable.”

Well of course it was at this very point of their conversation that Spouse snorted in ‘PRACTICE?’ horror and exclaimed ‘female logic”! And the rest of us burst into peals of unstoppable laughter. OMG I wonder HOW her date will turn out; don’t you?
