Is she using me for my HVAC skills?
One thing led to another, and we are still dating today, all thanks to a broken air conditioner
Every spring break for the last eight years my friends and I always go to the same lake house. It is owned by my friend Mike’s parents, one of a handful of privately owned cabins around a remote, and pretty amazing, lake. This started when we were all in high school, carried through college, and it continues on today, although a bit shorter, and with fewer people. Last time we went was an epic trip, one of the best ever, because we got our neighbors involved with the party. It actually started because the air conditioner in one of the other cabins broke, and a young lady came and asked for some help. Never before in my life had I felt lucky to be an HVAC tech, but this girl was just that captivating. Now the entire HVAC certification process felt well worth it, and I walked back to her cabin with her. Luckily it was a simple enough fix that I got the air conditioner working without having to walk all the way back to get my tools. After that, she was very grateful to have cooling once again so I invited her over that night to party with us. One thing led to another, and we are still dating today, all thanks to a broken air conditioner. Last week I tuned up her home HVAC system, and the thought occurred to me that she might just be using me for my skills. I’m doing her hundreds of bucks worth of HVAC work here, and she is pretty much out of my league.
