BLAME IT ON THE WEATHER

There was this girl in my office that I was really attracted to, so much so that I couldn't think of anything to say. I just got tongue tied. I asked my buddy about this and he suggested just talk about the weather, just to get warmed up. Just make a comment about how hot it has been.

So the next day I saw her out on the stairwell having a smoke. "Sure is hot today eh?" I asked passing by her.

"Balmy" she said.

That was all it took. I blushed. I stopped walking and turned around. We ended up talking. We ended up dating for about 2 years and I never told her that the reason why I pursued her after our first exchange was because I honestly mistook her comment on the weather as a seductive request.
