Another WANTED story:
Last week, I went to a restaurant I frequent. It was slow. I talked the staff. The hostess, bartender, and cook were all hanging out with me. Then a man walked in with a woman. They ignored me at first. However after about 5 minutes, I noticed the woman was ignoring her date, and she kept talking with me. Then the man she was with (her date), started focusing on talking with the bartender.
It gets better. Within less than 10 minutes of conversation with her, she was doing that staring thing, giving me short enthusiastic replies, agreeing with everything I said, twirling her hair, and leaning in. Her pupils were as big as saucers. She started telling me some things about her sex life.
Oh, I just remembered something you might like to know. You know that type of woman who walks into the room and all the men stare at her and all the women hate her because all the men are looking only at her. Yes, she was that woman.
I think her date realized what was happening and said to her “Hey are you ready to go?”
Go? They’d only been there about 15 minutes.
As he was leading her out the door, she kept her body turned to me, looking at me, waving, saying things like “Bye. So nice to meet you. I enjoyed talking with you. I liked our conversation.” Even as she was about to walk out the door, she wasn’t looking at the door or her date, she was looking at me.
As for me, the inner calm, environmental awareness, and self-assurance are probably bulletproof. People are talking about WANTED making them more sensitive or loving, perhaps. I don’t know if I’ve been feeling that. But I certainly have more compassion when I look at people.
I’ve also wondered if WANTED has a truth serum effect because people can start acting very familiar around me and even telling me very personal things.
As for this gorgeous woman who walked out the restaurant with her date, I briefly wondered if she would be thinking about me that evening when she was with her date. But then I just went back to eating my meal and talking with the restaurant staff. Was I criticizing myself for not getting her number? No. Why? Because I’m a WANTED man.
