It's not your boy, it's just your turn.

Cape Town is not a huge city, but it's not tiny either. However, after living here for more than 2 years one can't help but feel a little claustrophobic. When you arrive in a new city, it's like opening a fresh pack of sweets. You have all the options of colours and flavours to choose from.. but getting too excited means you'll' eat all the good ones first and be left with the lime and pineapple flavours. No one likes those. 

Who decides, who you can and can't be with? Boys are some what snakey when it comes to this, but they also get over the fact that their best mate kissed their ex girlfriend within 5 seconds. The bleakness only hangs around if there are still feelings involved, in which case.. he won't get over it so quickly and come banging on your door at 2am, ready to rawl. Girls on the other hand, are a lot trickier. The girl code is : You shall not deceive your friend in ANY way. Be it with her ex, the guy she used to like, the guy she does like, the guy she thinks she likes, the guy she sits next to in class or the guy who she is working with (the list goes on). Basically, if she's mentioned his name.. he is off bounds.. or a bitch fit is bound to occur. 

I understand that we need to be loyal to our friends, as "they will be there in the end, when he's left you all alone". But, in all seriousness, do people have the right to be SO territorial? I think not. If you like the guy make the move because if he's quite nice, chances are someone else is looking at him too. And no,  you cannot be bleak if someone intercepts because you were obviously too slow, or it's just not gonna happen. If you fancy a lunge but the whole time a small voice in your head is saying 'but Sally was with him 4 years ago' you need to chill. If Sally deletes you off FB and BBM due to your actions.. well then, you obviously weren't such good mates now, were you?

  Think of it as though you are scrummaging at the bottom of your sweet jar (even though you know only green and yellow are left) and you oh - so - luckily pick out a RED.. you're obviously going to eat it!! Yes, its selfish but its the truth. Unless you are dating the guy/girl and everyone knows it.. you probably don't have much leg to stand on. So just suck it up and move on.. you'll eventually get your turn. 

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

In movies you always see the same type of guys throwing out the most hilarious pick up lines. Although they never really work, they are pretty funny and you have to give a guy credit for trying... Here are some very funny/classic ones I've heard or read about:

Do you wash your pants in Windex? Because I can see myself in them.

Let's do breakfast tomorrow. Should I call you or nudge you?

Am I cute, or do you need another drink?

Aw, girl, I'm gonna have to put you on my "To Do" List!

I have a six inch tongue and I can breath through my ears

Do you sleep on your stomach? No. Can I?

I guarantee you that none of these will be work, but it will definitely make for an interesting night :)

Fail proof system. ha! ' ?....!'

A dear friend of mine, dear but disgusting told me a while ago about a system he brings into play with the 'ladies'. I remembered it today and couldn't help but chuckle to myself. We'll call him Fabio. Fabio, bless his heart is some what of a nympho and not shy to share his stories with those who are keen to lend an ear. Be careful if you catch him after too many beers as you will be re living his reality pornos. Anyways the other night after a jol we all went home and he goes straight to the computer and logs onto FB. I immediately am thinking, oh god this can't end well. He calls me over and with a huge grin on his face and points to the screen...

Through slightly blurred vision I make out his sent messages and a lot of them having been sent right now. The message.. A single question mark. I'm busy thinking old Fabs is super pissed tonight. However he dives into the explanation of his 'system'. Which is this, he sends about 10 girls a ? And if they reply with a ! He knows he is getting lucky. What intrigues me most is he sends all of them at the same time.. Which lead to me ask 'but what if more that one replies with a !' And to that he replies with a smug ' well then its my lucky night and I'm a every lucky guy.

Sis on you boys and shame on you slappers :)

quality not comfort

For one to state that they dress themselves for comfort, is.. Bullshit. I know I don't get up in the morning and think - today I will be most comfortable in long johns, my gardeners hoodie and grans socks.Its ok to wear this because its comfortable.NO!

This is not ok! I'm not trying to be your Trynny or Susanna here but seriously put in some effort and dress to impress. It's a lot better for ones self confidence to get a comment about nice boots rather than a turned up nose at your velvet tracky bums.
