When an attractive single woman brings her car to a repair shop for an oil change, the single technician tells her that it will take about an hour.

He recognizes her.

She comes in every three months to get her oil changed.

He has always wanted to ask her out.

However, every time she comes in he is never brave enough to go through with it.

What he needs is time.

He just needs time to build up enough courage.

An hour later the technician enters the waiting room and tells her that they found a minor problem with her car that must be addressed immediately.

He tells her that it will take another hour to fix it.

She agrees.

An hour later, the technician returns to the waiting room and tells her that they have found another minor problem that requires immediate attention and it would take another hour to fix.

A little frustrated, she agrees.

An hour later, the technician returns to the waiting room and tells her that they have found yet another minor problem that requires immediate attention.

This problem would take another hour to fix.

The unhappy woman crosses her arms but agrees.

The technician returns to the waiting room an hour later but the woman stops him before he can say anything.

“Let me guess. Another problem?”

The technician says, “No, it’s ready.”

He hands her the bill.

“$3000 in repairs?!” the woman says in shock. “My car isn’t even worth $3000.”

The technician says, “You can pay it off in weekly cash installments of $50. By my calculations, you will be paid off in 15 months. I should be ready to ask you out at that point?”

He grabs an appointment register. “So what time can you come in next week?”
