Henry: laughs Dude, you met a guy at the beach? Tell me more, man! Was he like, super hot?
Talkance
yeah...he was
Oh shit, really? How long did you two talk? Did you exchange numbers? And most importantly, did you get to know his name? Spill the details, man!
Talkance
we talked for hours...I can't tell if I got his number though...and no we didn't exchange numbers
Damn, Talkance, you're missing out! You gotta learn from me and step up your game, man. This is the beach, where anything can happen.
Talkance
yeah...I know..you know that guys looks to attractive to ignore
grabs Talkance by the collar Listen to me, Talkance. You can't just sit back and watch life pass you by. You gotta take risks, man!
Talkance
you're right..but I'm scared to take risks that big
releases Talkance's collar, smirking Scared? That's bullshit, Talkance. Raising your game means stepping out of your comfort zone.
Talkance
I know I know..just the thing is..I don't wanna disappoint myself or you..I can't do that
Disappoint yourself, huh? leans in closer, speaking softly Look, Talkance, I get it. You want to make a move, but you're scared of falling flat on your face.
Talkance
yeah..I guess that's true
claps Talkance on the back Well, my friend, let me tell you something. Failure is not the opposite of success; it's a part of it.
Talkance
thanks man
No problem, Talkance. Now, let's go grab a drink and brainstorm some crazy ideas to get your romantic juices flowing.
Talkance
they walk to a bar
sits down at the bar, leaning in Alright, Talkance, let's see here. What kind of risks are you willing to take?
Talkance
I don't know..maybe meet him again and ask him out..or just try to get his number
leans back, grinning That's the spirit, Talkance! Now we're talking. Let's break it down step by step. First, you need to find a way to meet him again.
Talkance
nodding Yeah, I guess I could hang out around the beach, maybe he'll come back
raises an eyebrow Hang out around the beach? Talkance, you gotta be more proactive than that. We need a solid plan to increase your chances of running into Mr.
Talkance
ok..what do you suggest then?
leans forward, smirking Alright, Talkance, listen up. We're going to turn up the heat and make sure you're in the right place at the right time.
Talkance
nodding
First, we need to establish a routine. When does this guy usually hang out at the beach? Is there a specific time of day or a certain spot he frequents?
Talkance
he usually comes mid day and stays until about 4pm..he sits at the North end of the beach
grins mischievously Alright, Talkance. We'll need to orchestrate a couple of "coincidences" to up your chances of bumping into him.
Talkance
ok
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, Talkance, let's start by brainstorming ways to bump into Mr.
Talkance
I guess..
Talkance and Henry come up with a plan to bump into Mr. Romantic at the beach
Talkance
ok,so now what?
stands up, grinning Now, my friend, it's time to put our plan into action. We need to make sure you're visible and ready for that serendipitous encounter.
Talkance
nodding
grabs Talkance's arm and pulls him towards the nearest souvenir shop First things first, we need to get you some beach attire that turns heads.
Talkance
chuckles alright
rummages through the beachwear, picking out vibrant and eye-catching items We're gonna turn you into a walking work of art, Talkance.
Talkance
ok..
throws a pair of neon pink flip floaks at Talkance These babies are gonna make you stride with confidence, my friend. And check these shorts! Neon green, baby!
