I love eavesdropping on people.

Especially on people who are on dates.

And the most awesome of all, is people who are on FIRST dates.

The look on their face when they see eachother and realize “that’s him/her”, their conversation, the body language - it’s fascinating.

I’m a little obsessed but we all eavesdrop. It’s awesome - and fun.

So check it out.

When I’m not deepsea diving, underground cagefighting or saving kittens - you’ll often find me eating cookies and watching late night infomercials.

There’s one for this Bluetooth looking device that amplifies sound from across the room. It’s being packaged as a ghetto hearing aid - but with a *wink-don’t-go-and-eavesdrop-with-this-now* thrown in.

I immediately thought “what a perfect way to supercharge my eavesdropping sessions!”

And then when they told me if I called in the next 6 minutes, I could have another one…

Sold. One for me. One for “her.”

The clock was ticking. I rushed to the phone and just barely made it in time for the SPECIAL OFFER!

The date

I met this girl a few weeks back while I was in the cafe we ended up meeting at for, what really was, our second date. (another benefit of meeting women in cafes - you can be on your first date as quickly as you can sit down at her table.)

I brought my new toys and she flipped!

Originally, I thought it would just be something kinda funny and she’d laugh - but it ended up being so much more powerful.

It feels like you’re doing something “bad” together.

You’re getting a neverending stream of material to riff on - which makes conversation nearly effortless.

Focusing on one together creates a really awesome unspoken bond - you two are in on this “mission” together. We ended up naming the dates like “Operation: Doggystyle” for the smooth brother who’s mack was clearly working. And “Operation: Blueballs” for the awkward gentleman who kept sending txt messages through their whole date.

When wrapped in such fun packaging, you can get away with saying all sorts of shit.

Needless to say, it was amazing.

You should try it.
