When you’re starting out college with a clean plate like I did, and you don’t know anybody going to the same university as you, you need to be able to make friends right away. You don’t want to be the guy that tries to act like *Bobby Big Wheels in front of all of your classmates and tries to one up everybody at the orientation. Nobody knows who you are and nobody wants to know who you are. That’s the guy that gets left behind by all of his roommates when they’re going out to get dusted with the girls you want to be with.
I’m not saying you should go up to every girl and get their number (you should), but it would definitely do no wrong. What’s worse than having a girl’s number that you find very attractive? Not having her number. Get a lot of numbers and it makes the experience easier. Its kind of like calling a cab: if they don’t come right away, just call another one. It’s simple. It’s college. Don’t be a bitch.
So if you don’t get the girl that you like, look to your left and then look to your right. What do you see? Probably two more very pretty girls. It’s college – there are smokeshows everywhere. Now I’m sure it’s the same for ladies, but I can’t give you that perspective.
Just be the young gun that you are as a freshman and do something crazy every now and then.
*Bobby Big Wheel is the guy in the crowd that thinks he is God’s gift, but really he’s just a big joke. He can be funny at times, but often ends up getting the smaller stick in life.
