How Not To Suck: Get GAME

Here I Go, Here I go, Here I go Again..
(Ladies) What's My Weakness? MEN! - Salt n Pepa

It's true, it's true. Who doesn't have a weakness for men. except maybe quite a few other men. I however must admit that tall and handsome can get my motor running. I go flabbergasted when a cute guy talks to me and my own personal shortcoming is being shy as hell when it comes to talking to someone I think is cute about the fact that I think he's cute.
Flirting however. I'm amazing at. Or so I like to think. It's not like there's a class on this sort of thing. No one ever walks up to you and says, "jesus christ you are the worst flirter I have ever seen in my entire life, please stop for the sake of all of our sanities" To be fair the movies and t.v. shows totally paint an incorrect picture of how to flirt. I personally think that acting honestly and true to yourself you could get someone interested you easily.
You do NOT however do what has happened to me today, or countless other times. I left my house this morning to go and get my learners. ( Finally I know.) About a block away from my house and 4 minutes or so into the entire mile trip to the DMV/MVA a man across the street shouted at me. "EXCUSE ME!" I was thinking that maybe someone needed directions so I turned around looking for maybe a car or thinking that perhaps I dropped something. It was just some dude across the street from me. So I turned and went back about my business. He continued to shout at me for the next 15 minutes. The entire walk from my house to the Mall he shouted at me. "Hey Baby! Sweet heart, Baby Girl, Honey, Yo yo yo, Hey Sweet Heart. Yo backpack baby girl" None of which I turned around to. At one point he even crossed the street and shouted at me while I was walking in front of him. I wasn't flattered. And I'd be seriosuly dissapointed in anyone who would actually turn around and give some ignorant yokel thier number after being shouted at for 15 minutes in a most unflattering manner.
I have had people tell me that they don;t believe that walking up to someone and simply talking to them will give them any chance. To that I say Phooey and PSHCHAW! I have walked up to quite a few complete strangers and spoken to them. Usually it's not for phone numbers but it doesn't take some smooth pick up line to get someones attention.

I don't think I have personally ever recieved a good pick up line:
1. Damn baby, the good lord super sized your chest
2. Where I come from we call you corn bread women
3. Did you fall from heaven? cause I love dead chicks..
4. Lemme get yo number baby, cause you supa fine

And I definately don't like any I have heard from other people:
1. Nice shoes wanna fuck?
2. You look tired, probobly because you've been running through my mind all day
3. Damn bitch you stupid fly lemme get up on yo bumper and smack that monkey
4. If I said you had a nice body would you hold it against me?

Even some of the more nerdy ones make it seem pretty funny but even then for anything less than a goofy opener it's not worth while. If you feel that your own personality is so deficiant that you require a stupid pick up line the girl who seems interested in you will eventually find out anyway. People be yourself. That's all the game you need.

Next time you think someone's good looking. Just walk up to them and say "hi, My name is ___ I think you are very pretty/sexy/good looking, and while I don't mean to seem crude I was wondering if I could get your number/screenname/e-mail adress. Or even go out with you now for a cup of tea./coffee./whiskey.

For the fucking world's sake please don't run up behind some person and shout at them. Don't crotch thrust when they walk by and shout "Damn baby, man could get used to lovin a woman like you"

And just another word of advice be well dressed when you do it. Because it's kinda hard for anyone to take you seriously when one of your hands is constantly tied up with holding your own damn pants up. Get pants that fit. And maybe a belt. Get some guts or some balls and maybe a shot of courage and walk up to someone dammit.,

GAME IS OVER RATED. Honesty isn't.

Don't suck like that creepy dude today.

_Liz out.
