I happened to overhear a conversation earlier today at a café, where I was getting myself a bite before picking up son at friends. It was so embarrassing that my ears went red and my heart was racing. I decided to tweet about it. If you’re familiar with Twitter, you’ll know where to start: By scrolling down to the bottom of the page and then read backwards. If you’re not familiar with Twitter, you know it anyway (now). Go ahead, share my eavesdropping experience! (PS: A few of the @ reply tweets are in Danish, but all of mine are in English.)
ursushi @thea0507 @labeet Ja. Det var stort.
camlarsch @labeet Så de overhovedet ud til at være tiltrukket af hinanden? Ellers var det en meget lang samtale … #SoMuchAtStake
lottemolberg @labeet altså som date-detektiv? Eller hvad man kan kalde det. Spændende var det i hvert fald ;)
HelleManicus @labeet Tak for god underholdning. Some other time maybe :)
MarieBilde @labeet thanx for breathtaking report from date. I hope SHE will tell HIM that there’s no point in meeting again. I don’t like him.
jesperdahl @labeet damn, it was an interesting live tweet. Wonder why we are so intrigued by it? :-)
canadiancat RT @labeet: Long odd pause. Now he’s got her talking about her job. I don’t like him, he plays to all her insecurities <= All guilty of that
JudiLFinderup @labeet Nooo! You have to stay. Cant stop the story now :)
belle_lulu @labeet It’s like downloading the first chapter only of a real pageturner! Write the rest of their story for us please…. :) xxx
Soenderskov @labeet God underholdning;-)
kirstenmarie @labeet I’m wondering how much of their future relationsship (assuming they enter into one) has already been established at this point.
labeet Long odd pause. Now he’s got her talking about her job. I don’t like him, he plays to all her insecurities.
labeet I’m waiting to pick up son and planned to read. But can’t focus, conversation has me spellbound!
labeet Now they talk FB. She makes the wrong move of admitting that she spends too much time there. He jumps in, doesn’t do that *anymore*. Ouch.
MaryLiebowitz @labeet You are absolutely cracking me up. I’m feeling a knot in my stomach for these people!
labeet A lull now, she gets desperate and starts babbling. Do I know that reaction? They are briefly saved by waiter who jokes with them.
labeet He’s so good at returning the ball to her court all the time. Now she’s trying hard to make him spill the beans.
kirstenmarie @labeet Me too! :-)
labeet My stomach’s in a knot on their behalf. It’s totally stressful!
belle_lulu @labeet I’m entranced…..
PaulaFleetwood2 @labeet This is RIVETING
canadiancat @labeet I’m really liking your tweets right now! So intense…keep it up ;-)
labeet She tries to evade answering question of whether she wants children. He lets it go.
labeet He asks straight out: why don’t you have children? She explains about previous boyfriend who was too young.
labeet She tests him back by stating opinions about child rearing. Think she got away with it. Phew.
labeet He’s got kids, she hasn’t. He’s testing her, she’s trying for right balance of empathy and distance.
