Recently, my best friend  Ted and I found ourselves in an uncomfortable situation: a beautiful  girl at the bar was stroking his arm and looking deep into his eyes, but  the straw in her drinkâ€¦ was pointing towards me. To a trained  seduction artist like myself, it was obvious that this girl was teasing  me with a classic game of "hard-to-get," while poor Ted was playing his  own classic game of "gettin' hard"â€¦ a game he only plays with himself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;Here are ten other instances in which it may appear that a girl is uninterested, but is actually just playing "hard-to-get."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;1. &lt;b&gt;If she tells you she's "married."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This is chick-code for "I haven't done it in months, take me now." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;2. &lt;b&gt;If you're blocking her path to the bathroom and she says, "Pardon me."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Take away the P, A, R, and N and you have "Do me." It doesn't get  much clearer than that. She wants you to join her in stall #3. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;3. &lt;b&gt;If she slaps you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;You know what they say: any physical contact is good contact. Be sure to establish a "safe word" beforehand. I recommend "help!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;4. &lt;b&gt;If she insists the bouncers escort you out of the bar.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;She wants to get you away from her friends and have you all to herself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;5. &lt;b&gt;If she's eating pretzels.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Wants you to wrap her legs up in knots. Duh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;6. &lt;b&gt;If the email she gives you ends with @prodigy.net.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;She wants your junk, not your junk mail. No post-coital conversation required.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;7. &lt;b&gt;If she refuses your offer to buy her a drink.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;She wants you to buy her dinner instead â€“ in which case, bail.  That's way too much effort when there's probably a girl nearby eating  pretzels. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;8. &lt;b&gt;If she doesn't answer your phone calls.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;She's letting your calls go to voicemail so she can listen to your voice over and over and over again. She horny!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;9. &lt;b&gt;If she's buttoning up her jacket and turning her body away from you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;She's teasing you by covering up her heaving bosom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" &gt;10. &lt;b&gt;If she pulls you aside and says, "Seriously. You need to stop  stalking me. You've been creeping me out all night. I'm about to call  the cops."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Wink! It doesn't get much "harder to get" than that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;from &lt;a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/how_i_met_your_mother/community/barney_blog/index.php/"&gt;Barney's blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;and lastly, the Genting ORD trip was a blast!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6013727420044402087-3487074050712772?l=hopnburn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hopnburn.blogspot.com/feeds/3487074050712772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hopnburn.blogspot.com/2011/03/hey-guys-back-after-long-time-of-awol.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6013727420044402087/posts/default/3487074050712772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6013727420044402087/posts/default/3487074050712772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hopnburn.blogspot.com/2011/03/hey-guys-back-after-long-time-of-awol.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff Tan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09393955115943560236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7R0eTGwbW0U/TSNSBhLknWI/AAAAAAAABEw/edHgA9zYLUw/S220/P1000356.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013727420044402087.post-5907451250034692161</id><published>2011-01-16T22:59:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-01-16T23:13:39.488+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>apparently i made a right decision 2 weeks ago. wenjie &amp;amp; i decided to sign up tgt for the adidas sundown marathon. it is so popular tt application is now full. not sure if its full for early bird price ($65) or totally full for the race (fyi the race is on 28th may, 4.5 mths from now!) consider ourselves lucky haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this will be my 1st 42.5km run, will give my best for it!&lt;br /&gt;the slogan's really cool : &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SLEEP CAN WAIT Beat the sunrise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;this coming tues will be really cool, doing smth for the 1st time.  see if i can blog about it!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6013727420044402087-5907451250034692161?l=hopnburn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hopnburn.blogspot.com/feeds/5907451250034692161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hopnburn.blogspot.com/2011/01/apparently-i-made-right-decision-2.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6013727420044402087/posts/default/5907451250034692161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6013727420044402087/posts/default/5907451250034692161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hopnburn.blogspot.com/2011/01/apparently-i-made-right-decision-2.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff Tan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09393955115943560236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7R0eTGwbW0U/TSNSBhLknWI/AAAAAAAABEw/edHgA9zYLUw/S220/P1000356.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013727420044402087.post-4645242751844724638</id><published>2011-01-05T00:20:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-01-05T00:48:18.905+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>decide to start this blog again!
