X: A 13-Week Plan
After a few weeks of watching her pound the treadmill belt from afar, I have developed a carefully structured 13-week strategic plan for meeting "Holly," that stunning blonde vixen who frequents my club and looks like she should be in Hollywood:
Week 1: Get on a treadmill near but not directly next to her. She feels my presence.
Week 2: Pick a treadmill further away, making her think I am only there for the workout, not for socializing. To throw her off, head to the stretching mat at the same moment she does.
Week 3: Get on the treadmill next to her. Don't speak--I am strictly there for training.
Week 4: Offer a lukewarm, "Good morning."
Week 5: Say, "Hello again" and follow up with, "Did you have a good weekend?"
Week 6: Comment on her stylish outfit or interesting race T-shirt.
Week 7: "What are you training for?"
Week 8: "I'm 'X,' by the way. And you are?"
Week 9: Don't acknowledge her presence. She will be confused and wonder what is wrong.
Week 10:"I didn't see you last week. Everything OK?"
Week 11: "When is your race again? Do you have anyone coming to watch?"
Week 12: "Good luck in your race. Your training has been excellent--you will do well. Tell me how it goes."
Week 13: "Congratulations, you did great! Would you like to get together sometime outside the gym?"
