Speaking of booze...

The first lady lesson I learned after being newly single! Girls do not like it if you flirt/hook up with them and do not remember it the next day. This leaves a big OOPS on your plate and sometimes some flirty eyes from a girl that you just simply do not understand the root of. So, if you are approached by a girl the day following a night of partying and she seems to believe/know that you two canoodled the night before....

Here's what NOT to do:
Announce immediately that you do not remember anything about the night before. A) this will hurt her feelings B) this could really piss her off, especially if it was something she was really into, and C) it gives her all of the power in deciding what actually happened if you claim ignorance.

Act awkwardly and ignore her. Do I really need to go into why this is a stupid thing to do?

Ask a million questions in detail regarding the previous acts of the night before. Doing this is a bit annoying and may offend her. Also, it risks losing your appearance of confidence which is highly important and will be written about later. Oh, and don't apologize repeatedly either.

Don't deny it. Seriously, if you don't remember, then it probably happened.

Here's some options of things you could do:

Play along! Most girls don't actually want to rehash a hook up or flirty conversation, so an all-knowing nod or friendly hello could save you both some embarrassment.

Ask friends who may have seen you or talked to you after for some info. Or, if maybe you will have lucked out and poured your entire night to a best friend who can recap you in the morning. I highly recommend this option if you can pull your drunk self together enough to do this.


Now, to every great rule there is usually an acceptable exception. If you are aware that your actions would rather be kept secret by the girl involved, then absolutely play up your not remembering. The gift of memory loss could save you both some trouble.

Moral: Drink responsibly? And if you don't, at least try to have a responsible memory.
