This rule that you speak of......how "in stone" is it.....I'm 25 and hit a girl who was 18, like two weeks ago.
I'm a TA at university (teachers assistant....and no, it's not as lame as it sounds) and one of the freshman needed some extra help...so I was helping her in the library. She asked me if I wanted to come and hang out and she was done her assignment......but I said "no" .....cause I used the best line of all time (get out your pencils and paper) I turned around and asked her over to my place (no parents, roomates to get in the way) for "a movie and some ice-cream"
That line is gold....I'm like 12 for 17 using that line....
just a little help for next time
