Girl Plan

“Oh man she is so hot…look at the group actually…they all look so beautiful!!” my friend shouted in my ears as I was busy munching down on our canteen famous parachute sponsored hakka noodles. I gave that irritated look to him as you would give if you are disturbed watching your favourite movie but he was unfazed….she continued his stare at his pray….a fresher girl group…name of the pack leader-Romi (name changed to protect her from others)…taking the fork from my hand, he forced my attention on her..

She was really beautiful…but not my type…she was one of those who took her looks very seriously…spent hours and hours in front of her mirror and when hands were not applying lotions, combing hair, doing nail painting etc she used to spend time on the phone or the internet chatting away with all sorts of people….But my friend was all mad for her…I thought he is just getting into “hot girl-must make friendship” phase but I was wrong….as the days went on and the price of cold drinks in the canteen went on increasing, his affection for her went on increasing and was at an all time high when he came to me saying “how r u doing today…I am feeling very weird nowadays when someone is around.”

With a nervous tone I asked him “what did u do now”

“Its Romi dude, I think I am in love in her”

“hahahahahahahahahahaha…drink this thumbs up bottle in 1 go and you would get over it”

“No re…I knew you would say this..but I feel different about this one…whenever she is around me I can feel her presence, I can sense her breath, I tend to laugh at her dumb jokes…”

“Ya ya don’t get all DDLJ with me….just tell me what u want.”

“I am still gutless when it comes to talk to her, can u help me”

Here I was….totally unaware that someone like him would ask me something like that for a girl like that!!!! He was one of the best friends I had so I agreed to help.

“ Listen ok..if u agree to not do feeling vomits all over me, I will help u but you should not ask questions as to why this and why that ok?”

“Fine fine” the eagerness in his voice was so loud that even Romi who was sitting a good 100 meters away from me turned around to look!!

“Now to start things off do this, we have friendship day coming up and you have to ………”
Friendship day came and so did the nerves…”I cant do it..its very weird ..what if she misunderstands”

“don’t worry if she likes you I know how she would react”

So in the canteen the so called stud walked up to Romi and said:

“Hi Romi, My name is ******. I have been observing you in college for the last few months and I must say you are something…if you wanna know what that means, give me a call….btw happy friendship day….” Saying this he tied the friendship band on her wrist and continue “If you are really curious you know where to look for my number”

After saying this, he walked off leaving the girl shell shocked….he quickly ran out of the canteen into the bathroom on the 2nd floor and vomited his morning missal pav, omelette and coke…once his deployment was successfully completed, he came out where I provided him with his personal handkerchief. “Man I tell you she aint calling me”

“Dude she is a proud girl, she will not let u have a upper hand like that she will call in the next couple of hours becoz all she can think of right now is to get even”

3 hours went back when his phone finally buzzed. “Hi Romi here, Smart idea to put your cell number on the friendship band..i like that..but I didn’t like ur attitude…do you want to explain yourself.” The threat on the speaker phone was very precise. Mr Stud went into his bud. Then on my request he said

“Apologies for being a bit rude with you either but you only tell me how the hell I can get the attention of the most beautiful angel on earth without doing a stunt like that?”

With a slight giggle she said, “Well I got your attention. Now what?”

“Now evening coffee, at CCD, come alone and with a open mind”

“I will..you are interesting I must say. Lets see how it goes.”

“Yea lets see” He said my prompted words. After cutting the call he said, “Wow dude, she said yes for a coffee!!!”

“Now listen dude, she is not what I expected to be…she seems a nice person who gives others a chance. I helped you this much now, you are on your own”

“Dude!!! You cant leave me like this…what will I do..what will I say..what will I drink…which sandwich should I order..”

“Easy Mr. i-have-worthless-doubts. This is what you do..Be polite and a perfect gentleman. Give her the space she needs and at the same moment, show her how her life would be with you in the picture…talk about her likes and dislikes and try to make them to yours. You don’t need to agree with her on all fronts. The important thing is that you need to make her feel free when talking to you. She should be able to express herself fully. Also remember, 1st dates should not be it. This evening the focus should be only on her and during the conversation, try and see if you 2 actually are compatible or is it just an infatuation. If she finds that there is something there between you 2, she will ask you for another date. Also, please don’t tell her I was ur adviser”

“Are you crazy??? Do you think this will work???”


3 years on, I guess it worked and you know how I know? I just received their marriage invitation.
