Can you tell?
Over the weekend I was talking to a friend who is a high school teacher. She's single, and her female students seem to love giving her dating advice. When she told me about one of her students' suggestions over the weekend, I couldn't resist countering with my own best strategy for getting a man's attention.
Can you tell which is my suggestion and which was provided by a 16-year-old girl to her teacher? That's a 16-year-old girl at a boarding school in Wisconsin, in case that helps.
A) Part one: Go to a bar and order a martini -- no other drinks are acceptable: no gin and tonics, no beers. Part two: You have to eat the olive first. If you just drink the drink first, what you're saying is "I'd like to get smashed off lots of vodka." If you eat the olive, you're saying "I'm here for something else." If you don't eat the olive, "you are saving a little sumthin sumthin for later." Your martini-drinking behavior will be a clear signal to men, and they will respond.
B) Play catch with a football. If a guy sees you throw a really tight spiral, he's putty in your hands.
So one of those pieces of advice comes from yours truly and one comes from a high school girl. Which is which?

I hardly look at the way she drinks a martini, unless it's really strange.
And throwing tight spirals is a life skill.

I hate olives...so I hope that strategy doesn't actually work.
As far as football goes, I can throw...and catch.. as long as no one's moving! I think a lot of guys like a girl who can enjoy sports and being active. A competition, and I can be competitive, is a great way to flirt, I've found.
I'm going to guess that the high-school girl gave the martini suggestion and Ruby gave the football one.

So you guys don't think that throwing down about 4 ounces of straight alcohol gets a guy's attention?

Nah, but throwing down a spike in the end zone might. Drunk chics are everywhere.
Shoot, I even dig a gal who can throw a disk (what most folks call a Frizbee).
We can get a cold beverage after the game.
