The Art And Luck Of Pickin' Up

The trick is to not take the whole thing too seriously (although that doesn't always work) and to sit back and enjoy the rollercoaster ride of the single life. Pay your admission to the bouncer at the door, buckle yourself into your barstool and hang on tight. Some rides are a screaming blast, some a little boring and calm and some a little too excessive resulting in some cookie-tossing and a hangover.

Okay, so lets look at the ups and downs…

Pick’n up isn’t reserved for the bars. It can happen ANYWHERE!! You can be in an elevator, at the grocery store, in line at the bank, the waiting room at a doctor's office (ideally not an STD clinic), at the drugstore (ideally not after coming from the STD clinic), walking your dog, at a restaurant, work, church…yes that’s right. Even God fearing people hook up.

Now most of these locations have never happened to me, but the ones that have I found to be pretty damn exciting. Being caught off guard by an incredibly cute stranger? Sign me up!
- side bar - this only really works for me if the cute guy also has confidence and can work some serious game.

Nothing annoys me more then some creepy dude approaching me and acting all slimy and using really lame lines! Sorry boys but you’re gonna have to brush up on the creativity if you are actually going to try and bust out some 'original material'. One piece of advice? Make us laugh. Oh, and make eye contact. (Okay that was two pieces.)

It’s impossible to talk about the art/luck of pick’n up without addressing the good ol' one night stand.
