Sure, being sexy is great. But, a man will never forget a girl who falls down the stairs, and takes him with her...

When you watch movies you see women like Halle Berry that have that natural sexiness to them. When she walks or when she drinks a cup of coffee there’s an air of seduction to every movement she makes. And then there’s me. I’m extremely clumsy, I like to think that perhaps people find it endearing, or at least they can get a good laugh when they’re around me.

I don’t even try to be sexy, mainly because I can’t take myself seriously enough to pull it together.
The first time I met Jake, I walked up to him to introduce myself and I was holding my drink. I was standing in front of him talking when the condensation on my glass mixed with my hand lotion. My drink slipped out of my hand and spilled all over his pants. For some god unknown reason he still asked me for my number and handed me his phone so I could add my info. When I was handing it back to him I accidently dropped his phone on the floor and it landed in the puddle of my spilled drink.

Actually, many of my clumsy moments happened with Jake. There was the time that we were walking outside, we were going down some giant stone steps and I fell, face first, down 3 of them. Then one time we were hanging out in his apartment and he had the heat turned up uncomfortably high. I was wearing a sweater over a tanktop so I decided to take the sweater off (I had forgotten that I pinned the sweater to the straps of my tanktop to keep it in place). So here I was sitting on the couch beside him, stuck with my arms up in the air and my sweater pulled up over my head desperately thrashing around trying to get out. Being the gentleman that he was he decided to try to help me and said “it looks like your tops are pinned together”… oh right.

Of course, I can’t forget the time I was sitting on the arm of his leather couch, in a beautiful silk dress, with my feet on the cushion of the couch talking to him. He was making dinner and said something funny. When I laugh I have a natural tendency to throw my head back, in doing so I also leaned back slightly. Here’s an important lesson for everyone, silk is very slippery on leather. I fell off the couch and landed on my back on the floor. The dinner was lovely though.

There’s no point in getting embarrassed, I personify physical comedy at its finest. I may not have a seductive air about me, but I attract attention all the same.

  1. I am a firm believer of the fact that if you can make a guy laugh, he will fall in love with you. Clearly all this falling down is working to your advantage.
