Make Up Moves

That Worked

by Cheryl Lakes

Men:

• Hank – “After a terrible argument, I had a guy deliver some balloons and flowers to her job and sing her favorite song to her off key in front of her co-workers.”
• Mel – “After a few days of not talking, I tore a hundred dollar bill in half and mailed it to her with a note that read, ‘Call me and get the other half.’  Of course, she called and the ice was broken.”
• Carl – “I was standing outside when she got off from work, holding a dripping cone of her favorite ice cream.  I didn’t say a word, I just handed it to her and she melted.”
• Rob – “When she wouldn’t answer my calls,  I sent her two dozen roses and signed the card with a silly pet name that she used to call me, that she knew I hated.”
• Paul – “We fell out over a silly argument and hadn’t spoken in a month. I had a co-worker call her and say she had won dinner for one at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city and that she had to take advantage of it by the next evening.  Of course, when she got there, she was shown to my table.  She was so overwhelmed  that she forgot what she was angry about.”
• Jake – “I sent her a free ticket to the ballet from a ‘secret admirer’  knowing she’d kill for a front row seat.  And when she got there, it was one of the best seats in the house and I was sitting next to it.”

Women:

• Cindy – “I showed up at his job with a bottle of his favorite champagne and two tickets to the baseball game.  I had always refused in the past to attend a game because I didn’t like baseball.  He was thrilled.”
• Lisa – “After a huge argument, I sent him a fake check for $1,000.00 and a note that read, ‘I’m ready to pay big money to see that beautiful smile of yours.’ It took him a minute, but he called the next day.”
• Carmen – “I mailed him a beautiful miniature car with a note asking if he’d go for a ride with me to get a chocolate shake, which was one of his favorite things to do.”
• J.J. – “I sent him a hilarious homemade “gift certificate” to one of his favorite stores with a note that read.  “I’d buy you everything in the store, if you’ll be mine again.”
• Marcie – “After a blowout with neither of us yielding, I had a balloon made up in a specialty shop that read.  “I’m sorry” four times and tied it to the left side view mirror on his car while it was parked at work.  He was impressed and gave in because he knew it was hard for me to say.  “I’m sorry.”
• Tracey – “Two weeks after a bad breakup, I sent him a photograph of us playing on the beach on vacation and a note saying, “I’d rather live in a coal mine, if I had to go without ever having your arms around me again.  He called immediately.”
