a little more about the wolves

i am writing this for just one reader. i have been asked to write more about the wolves. why i keep using the term wolves, is probably because the story of little red riding hood and the big bad wolf really left an impression. ok, here goes.....
these wolves are not your ordinary perverts, who just measure their prey up and down, up and down and give those dirty expressions. nah! these wolves are not mean. they are just plain bored. they check out the girl because it brings a little excitement in their otherwise monotonous life. well, if any one is wondering about the girl's safety, no worries. she'll be safe and nothing will be enforced upon her. naaaahhhhh! those wolves are far too clever. if the girl ever falls prey to anyone, it will be voluntary. or at least it would seem voluntary to the girl and the bystanders. these wolves will not hunt in packs. they will start circling the girl with a game plan, which is shared with each other.
as time goes by, some of these wolves will get tired of circling, and will drop back and claim that she wasn't interesting enough. some will say that they have better things to do. some will be just plain lazy. some will find newer distractions. but one wolf will NOT let go. sometimes, two.
the retired hurt (emotionally) wolves will snigger at his dogged efforts.
these wolves will meet occasionally and remember her early days with pride as if her initial charisma and spunk was their gift to her. they will congratulate the wolf who hasn't given up and has made some progress. probably the girl went out with him once, to mcdonalds.

what happens to the girl in the meantime? she waits, she watches and she learns. she observes their achilles heels, their hidden on/off buttons, their styles, their areas of expertise, their lingo, their backgrounds, their personal lives. because a woman's mind works in a funny way. she might finetune a plan of her own. she might just become the hunter. the stupid wolves might be just puppets in her slim, delicate hands.
and what is the best plan for the girl?
an unspoken promise.
a text message which suggests a lot and confirms nothing.
a phone call, aapne khana kha liya?
trust me, for most of the wolves, a promise is better than a promise fulfilled.
as i said, for most of the wolves.
and these 'shayad woh mujhse pyaar karti hai' wolves are so easy to handle, because they are already content with that text message saved in the secret folder of their cell phones.

it is the go-getter wolf that has to be dealt with, it is that wolf who doesn't talk to her on the phone, never texts her, is not willing to accomodate her while he is doing something else. now how do you deal with someone is interested, but is not willing to negotiate.
all or nothing.
i'll write about the revised dynamics of: the lone ranger and the girl; the lone ranger and the wolves; the wolves and the girl in the next post.
gggggggrrrrrrrrrrr.......
