A MAN has told a female acquaintance they need to acknowledge the mutual attraction between them, much to her shock.
Oliver O’Connor told Lucy Parry the developing attraction between them was something they could no longer ignore and the adult thing to do was talk about it, while Lucy rapidly caught up on the situation and maintained a straight face.
He continued: “We say we’re just friends, but that’s no longer telling the full story, is it? I’ve seen the way you look at me. We moved past friendship some time ago.
“It’s obvious you crave me, and I admit I’ve begun to feel the same way about you. How is it obvious? Well, there aren’t any specific incidents, it’s more of a general vibe.
“You laugh at my jokes, we make eye contact, you steadied yourself on my arm that time when I was a bit drunk and almost fell into the road in front of a taxi. You’ve made it pretty bloody unignorable, frankly. People are talking.
“There’s no point pretending there’s nothing going on at this stage. It’s too late to play hard to get. I don’t know women insist on playing with men’s emotions like this! We both know what we’re feeling? Why hide it?
“Okay, if you insist. But the longer we pretend this isn’t happening, the more intense and passionate it’ll be when it finally breaks through. I just hope you’ll be ready.”
