Chemistry

chain reactions

Many times I’ve read in magazines about men’s favoured pick-up lines, techniques, and general ideas based on attracting and eloping with the opposite sex. I’ve seen it many times before, whereby the guy I know will start talking to the girl about something random or generally inconsequential, and gradually, subtly, he will make the first physical contact. This is usually seen in an innocent brush of the cheek, or even a playful tickle. From there, he will register the response and seek further enticement from the second party until they are both in private or drunk enough to disavow all responsibility.

I contemplated my own approach to the situation, and realised with some surprise that I had none.

Something happens in the moment a girl looks at you, something in her eyes twinkles, and an alarm sounds at the back of your head, and I know I’m in there before I even approach her. The rest of the seduction routine is barely even a formality, a mere Go game, a playful hunt between a fox and a hare that wants to be caught.

This was most strongly demonstrated to me at a party I was at in my late teens, in which I casually glanced over and locked eyes with a most attractive young woman sitting barely 10 metres away. In the millisecond that we shared, I became profoundly aware that I was going to be with her before the night was through. I stole a quick glance back and saw her smiling to herself, blushing from the sudden loss of her guard.

I stood up and walked over to the watering hole, making the necessary moves to attract her attention, and she came over to talk to me. I did the typical routine whereby I strike up casual conversation, get her to laugh , and go in for the first touch. However, in going in to touch her arm, I was somehow overcome by lust and began fondling her breast instead.

Luckily, it was obvious enough to the both of us that we were attracted to one another that she somehow didn't just slap me right there and then, and as she looked up at me, half suprise and half desire, I just grinned and locked lips with her.

God, did that girl give good head.
