9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: to do more than smoke with her. Dear Stephen Shirley.

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm a forty one year old single man and I

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: have a great job, my own car, and a very

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: nice apartment. Ideally, I want to buy a house and

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm working on it. There's a beautiful woman that lives

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: in my complex. She's got that nia long vibe, and

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: she's a chocolate goddess. We've seen each other in passing

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: and I speak and she speaks back. She doesn't have

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: men going in and out of her place. Excuse me,

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: I went to the doctor yesterday. I am COVID free.

19
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay, come on, I had to take a drink,

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: okay of water. She doesn't have men coming in and

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: out of her place, and she rarely has company at

22
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: all at her place. Another one of my neighbors said

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: he's tried to get her attention since she moved in,

24
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: but she's not a friendly person at all. I got

25
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: my big break last week. While I was in the

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: parking lot cleaning out my car. I saw her and

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: I spoke, and then she walked over to my car

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: and struck up a conversation. She asked if I smoked weed,

29
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: and I told her yes. She said her connection moved

30
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: away and she's been stressed, so she needs some weed.

31
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: By the way, it's illegal in our area, so I

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: offered to buy her some and she agreed to ride

33
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: with me. I was nervous and anxious because so many

34
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: thoughts were running through my mind as I drove. I

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: wanted to ask her out, but I wasn't sure if

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: it was the right time. Then she mentioned that she's

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: been seeing different females coming in and out of my

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: apartment all times of day and night, especially while we

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: were all supposed to be quarantining. I tried to joke

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: it off, but I don't think it works. We got

41
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: the weed and smoked it. On the way back home.

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: She told me thanks and said she'd see me around.

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: I didn't even ask her for her phone number. I

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: want to do more than smoke with her, But what

45
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: if she thinks I'm a player and she's turned off

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: by that? How should I approach her? Or have I

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: ruined my chances? Please be honest. Well, she definitely thinks

48
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: you're a player, and she doesn't like the fact that

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: you have all these women during the quarantine. She doesn't

50
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: like that, But she thinks you're a player, because why

51
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: else would she that. It's interesting. I think she noticed you.

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were high or what. But

53
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: I also think that you missed an opportunity to set

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: the record straight when she brought it up right there

55
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: when she said that about all the women coming in

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: and out of your house. Uh, you know, just like

57
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: you've been watching her and noticing who's coming in and

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: out of her place and how much company she has.

59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: It looks like she's been watching you too. So I

60
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: think if you're serious about doing more than smoking with her,

61
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: you gotta step your game up. You gotta fund or

62
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: create another opportunity to see her. Then you can ask

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: her for her number, call her and get to know

64
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: her all right, Steve, go ahead, he's done. It's on you.

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: He's done. It's on you. Okay. I want to do

66
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: more than smoke, right, Yeah, I go to where I

67
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: see this. I want to do more to smoke with.

68
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: I got you play for the one year old single man.

69
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Got a great job on car Night's department. I want

70
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: to buy a house. You're working on it. Congratulations, Brother's

Speaker 1: gonna happen for you. Dreams come true. Beautiful woman living

72
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: in the complex, got that knee long thing. Yeah, we

73
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: have seen each other. I speak and she speaks back.

74
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: So far, ain't nothing wrong with this. Letter's just going along.

75
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: She ain't got me in going in and out of

76
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: her place, and rally has company at all. But man

77
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: observation specialist. That's the way to be, Doggie, don't let up.

78
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Another one of my neighbors said he's trying to get

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: her attention since she moved in, but she's not a

80
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: friendly person at all. Oh boy, he ain't the one,

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: doctor Tello. She ain't friendly. He ain't the one. He

82
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: tried to get her attention. He approached her wrong. She

83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: don't want it. The hell you're talking to him about it? Far?

84
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: Then last week he was in the parking lot cleaning

85
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: out your car. You saw, spoke to him, She spoke

86
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: and there walked over to your car, struck up a conversation.

87
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: What she did? That sound pretty friendly to me. That

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: kind of acts everything that your homeboy said. Right okay?

89
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,800

00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: more than smoke with her? Forty one year old single

119
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: man got a nice apartment house, trying to buy a house,

Speaker 1: got a nice apartment in the car, trying to buy

121
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: a house. This woman in the complex, chocolate God, has

122
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: got this near lone thing going on. He'd been trying

123
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: to get her attention. He speaked to her, she speaked back,

124
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: but she don't have nobody coming in out of place

125
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: at all. She seemed like a loner, you know. Then

126
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: you was talking to one of your neighbors. He said

127
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: he tried to get her attention, but she not friendly

128
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: at all. I told you, just cause he wasn't the one.

129
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: She didn't want to be bothered with him. You was

130
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: out in the parking lot cleaning out your car. You

131
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: saw you spoke to her. She spoke back to you.

132
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Then she walked up to you and struck up a conversation.

133
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: I bet your ass stopped cleaning that car, then, didn't you?

134
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: I would him. Then y'all got to talk in and

135
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: then out of nowhere, she asked you do you smoke weed?

136
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: You told me yeah. She said a connection moved the

137
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: way she'd been stressed out. She needs some weed. And

138
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: then you try to tell me it's legal in your air.

139
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: That ain't none of my business. So you offered to

140
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: buy something. She agreed to ride with you. Now she

141
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: showed sound friendly to me, so that rules out what

142
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: your homeboy was talking about. I was nervous, anxious riding

143
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: in a cause, so many boats running through my mind

144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: while I was driving. Oh lord, I wanted to ask

145
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: her house but I wasn't sure if it was the

146
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:40,359
Speaker 1: right time. Y'all already out here, you're buying weed. Perfect opportunity,

147
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,400

148
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: she won't ride with you. You're gonna go get something

149
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: to here. You're gonna be smoking weed, You're gonna be hungry.

150
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: One date lead to the next date. Yea, all right? Anyway,

151
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: then she mentioned she's been seeing different females come in

152
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: and out of my apartment all times a day and night,

153
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: especially while we were supposed to be quarantine. I tried

154
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: to joke it off, and I don't think it works. Well.

155
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get down to what the letter bad.

156
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: We got the weed, smoked it. On the way back home,

157
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: she told me thanks, saying she see you around. I

158
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: ain't ask her for a phone number. I want to

159
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: do more to smoke with her. But what if she

160
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: thinks I'm a player and she's turned off by that?

161
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: How should I approach you? Or have I ruined my chances?

162
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Please be honest, dog, listen to me. Hell no, you

163
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: ain't ruining your chances. It's on and cracking. She knew

164
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: that women was coming in and out your apartment. For

165
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: she came up to the construct, up to the conversation,

166
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: and you ain't got to worry about this stuff. Sheley

167
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: talking my shell. I don't know this game right here.

00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: just missed the opportunity in the car. That's what I said.

171
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: He should have asked her in a car. That's exactly

172

175
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400

176
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: women coming in out your apartment, and you know, you

177
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,680
