Hi Angelo,

Sure, a woman's Interest Level appears to rise with each belt of Thunderbird you give her - but you cannot keep a woman tipsy all of the time! In a world filled with females who often give false signals of high Interest Level, you practically need a polygraph to know whether or not you've got the real thing on your hands. But to add alcohol to this equation is to make the truth damn near impossible to find out! That's why a man must discover what a woman's feelings are for him without the three shots of Red Mountain.

Angelo, instead of trying to get this girl plastered, you should have asked yourself how three different guys managed to grab your chair when she was supposed to be guarding it for you? Was it too hard for her to utter the four little words: "This seat is taken"? Perhaps she was giving you a not-so-subtle hint that her feelings for you were lower than a wino's brain cell count. Maybe she was telling the rip-off artists: "Please sit here, I'm with a creep."

And consider this other important tidbit: this girl said she would "try" to call you back. The Reality Factor says: "Women with low Interest Level make vague promises while women with high Interest Level make commitments." If she were truly interested in you, she would have given you a definite time and date. Decisiveness is what separates Real Women from the Strokers. Unfortunately, in your rush to get this girl to the bar counter, you missed this important point.

Angelo, it's not youth that's keeping this girl from you, it's her low Interest Level. You would have seen this right away if you had chosen to intoxicate her with charm rather than with old grapes. For example, if you had gotten bored expressions during displays of your sparkling wit, you would have immediately known that your girl was unavailable for future dates. Conversely, any smiles and touches during your rendezvous would have showed you she cared.

From now on, Angelo, let your dates take a straight shot of your male strength qualities of Self-control, Confidence, and Challenge and if they don't respond, move on to those who will. Unless a woman likes you at least 51%, not even Ernest and Julio can help.

Guys, women who like you don't need to get boiled in grape juice in order to show it. Remember that it is not only cheaper to minimize alcohol use during the date, but there are no love hangovers in the morning to worry about!
