A mysterious or shy person who unexpectedly turns out to be the best at something.
Popularly used to describe a man who may not initially catch a lady’s attention but is then unpredictably, completely charming (and, if the lady really hits the jackpot, is fantastic in bed). Due to the element of surprise, a dark horse can often beguile even the most beautiful and intelligent ladies into bed.

To Dark-Horse (verb)
To act in a sly or secretive manner, rarely letting others know what you're doing, where you're going, or who you're going with.
Being a very shady character, and being quite quiet are essential to perfecting this action.
A good poker-face is obligatory, of course.
