this goes out to all the fellas who just don’t have game and all the sistas who be feelin the pain.
conduct as it pertains to clubbing:
i respect you for making your way over and trying to dance with a girl. really i do. especially since i’m sure that 70% of the times you try this, you get shut down. but we need to get you caught up on dancing etiquette. if she suddenly makes some kind of shape or form with her hands (may often resemble a swimming turtle) and her friends immediately start dancing on her… that’s a bad sign. it’s not a sign that she’s picturing you, herself, and her best girlfriend going back to your place. that means that SHE DON’T WANT YOU. she don’t. now go away.
and when you go away, don’t turn around and repeat said endeavor on the girl right next to her. because, this may blow your mind, but females have the incredible power of peripheral vision. crazy, huh? and she knows you just got shot down by the last chick, and none of us are willing to be number 2. so have some humility man, take a break, and maybe hit up another quadrant of the dance floor where no one witnessed your PICK UP FAIL.
and if a girl is there with 5 girlfriends and 1 guy… that’s not her boyfriend. that’s not someone who’s secretly in love with her and therefore competition. that’s the good friend who got stuck with “cock block” evening duties. so if he suddenly grabs her and starts dancing with her… you can be sure that wasn’t his idea.
in general, don’t take the “playing hard to get” thing too seriously. honestly i think it’s more of an urban legend. if we come across a good guy that we want, chances are we’re not going to risk that with a “meh” and walk away. so please don’t persist. unless you’re in a situation where she asks you what could possibly tempt her to accept the man who ruined, perhaps forever, the happiness of a most beloved sister? and what about your conduct towards a mr. wickham?
the only other scenario where i can imagine persistence paying off is if you play office pranks on dwight everyday but she tells you she’s engaged. and… yeah. that’s about it.
