Game, Robbie style

I saw her standing in the isle across from me at the bookstore, she was a pretty little number about 5'7 with long blonde hair and a figure that could kill. She was skimming through a book and had a look on her face that said I'm not sure if I like this one or not, uncertianty being a strong point of mine I decided to show off my lady skills. I put on my best smile ( a mix between John Candy and Freddie Prince jr) and approached her with just enough swagger "Hi" I said glancing down at her book "I see your reading...Little Women, its uh one of my favorites." This put me at a disadvantage but I had already started my play so like a pro I just rolled with it. "Yeah I...uh I had to read it to my aunt when she was sick it's a sentimental thing really." "Oh really?" she said sounding a little skeptical "Who's your favorite character?"  I had to think fast and talk faster a game I've played many times "Janice? Yeah definately Janice, she is just a peach." "That's strange I don't remember there being a Janice in Little Women?" It was time to pull a rabbit from the hat "Oh, did you say Little Women? I thought you were reading Pretty Women. No I've never read Little Women." Phew, disaster averted now to finish my play and win the day. "I'd love to though maybe I can get your number and we can discuss it over dinner, kind of like a book club." I knew I had her now unlike math and science women absolutely love book clubs "Sure and while were at it we can discuss radical feminism and the destruction of the male ego." I was surprised that she could say that without breaking a smile but had high hopes. "Thats sound like a lot of fun so whats a good day for you?" I asked flashing my pearly whites. "Hmm lets see." she said slurring her words seductively "how about never." It was at that moment that I noticed a very distracting mole right above her left eyebrow and realized that no matter how much she wanted me I just could'nt love that kind of deformity (shallow maybe but it's still honest). Using my most gentle and reassuring voice I told her I had to go but would get ahold of her later and made my way quickly out of the bookstore another disaster narrowly averted.
