My experience with people in general, not just women, is that they tell you what they want you to know. If you are quiet, they'll tell you everything. People tell you things in words, in actions and in non verbal ways. A woman tells you what she wants you to know by her appearance, her scent. The more she pays to details, the more she wants you to see. A man is no different. Men who are well groomed have a similar agenda. To attract. A woman knows everything she is doing. She knows that if she wears a dress with a slit up the thigh, that when she crosses her legs, her upper thigh will show. She knows that if she leaves the second button of her blouse un-done, and wears a push up bra with deep cleavage, that she is showing off her womanliness. This is no mistake. It is purposeful. She wants you to look there, and to admire her, and to want her. Knowing what I know makes it fun when I meet someone new. They don't know that I read these messages and I make note of them. I live in the northern inland area of the US. There is no lake or beach within five hundred miles of here. Why are the women in the local parlor getting a bikini wax? There is no place to wear a bikini here, it's too cold most of the time anyway. The real reason has to do with sex. It is one more way to make her pussy appealing. These are just my observations.
Last month at a luncheon for newcomers to our company, I met Lisa. She was standing talking to two of the other women in the secretaries pool. Lisa was slightly taller and definitely more attractive than anyone in the room. At five seven and wearing three inch heels, she was eye to eye with me when I nodded hello as I walked past to the soft drink bar. Her eyes were a soft brown as was her short wedge cut hair. I inhaled as I passed and was pleased that her scent was soft and feminine, not making any statement other than that. She wore a skirt slightly above her knee and a contrasting white blouse. The only button open was at the neck, a lacy camisole was visible beneath the blouse. When she smiled a dimple formed in her left cheek, and creases near her eyes said that when she smiled, it wasn't just a mouth smile, it was with her whole self. Her voice was surprisingly deep, sexy in a way.
I continued walking past after making these notes, and watched her from a reflection in a window as I poured a diet coke for myself. I took my time, and noticed that she glanced towards me twice while chatting with the other ladies.
I am not usually at these luncheons, being a broker at the company and not an officer, but I've learned over the years that It's good to meet the clerical people and maintain a good rapoire with them. Lisa was different than most, sophisticated, and elegant. I was intrigued. As I re-crossed the room one of the other women said " here's Rick, just ask him if it isn't true" They all broke out in laughter as one of the women, Joan, pulled me into the group to confirm a story of late night office shenanigans in the supply room. I confirmed the story, adding some humor and left them laughing, but not before getting an extra smile and glance from Lisa.
Two days later I was in the elevator and heard a voice calling to hold the door as it began to close. I stopped the door and was greeted by Lisa slightly out of breath both hands occupied with files and a paper bag. "Hi, thanks..Rick isn't it?" She remembered my name..that's good
"Yes, Hi, umm Lynn?, Lois.." I hope she can't tell that I'm faking
"Lisa" she offered.
"Lisa yes, that would have been next...we met at the luncheon. How is it going?" Her smile is intoxicating, same clean feminine scent as before
"Really good actually, I like it here"
"Great, I hope you'll stay" God I hope you'll stay!
"Oh, why is that?"
"Oh you know, people try out a job then wish they'd taken another. Things happen." Please let nothing happen
"What floor?" As if I didn't know
"Seven please"
"Me too, here, let me take something"
" No, I'm fine it's not heavy, just clumsy..I've got it but thanks"
"Bag lunch? There's a fridge in the lounge"
"Yes, I've found it thanks. Her we are...see you later" and she is gone. A scented breeze follows her. She glances back with a smile. I've decided to go slowly. She is exquisite. I don't often meet women like Lisa who are available. I'm sure there is someone in her life, how could there not be.
What have I learned. She remembered my name, her clothes are sensible and suit her. Her scent is the same as before, light and crisp. Her smile seems sincere and easily given. There are no rings on her fingers other than a birthstone. Ruby. April? Her full figure is not overtly sexual, feminine yes, sexual no. She bags her lunch. It might mean she has no one to lunch with yet. She glanced back at me. Hmmmm.
The following Monday, at twelve thirty I went to the employee lounge., brown bag in my hand. She was sitting near the window with a paperback and her lunch half eaten. "Hi, c'mon over" she said with a smile when she saw me enter.
"I havn't seen you in here before"
"I eat at my desk a lot"
" You should eat here instead"
"I might from now on" We share a laugh. I learn that she is from Chicago, single, recently broken up from a two year relationship. I tell her I am also single and currently not seeing anyone.
