If you want to change the attitude of a girl who is mad at you or ignoring you, simply ask if she wants to go out and get something to eat. That has worked (for me, at least) 99% of the time. Some chicks will snort at me for saying this, of course (I would expect nothing less from my little droogettes).<\/p>\n<p>But they know it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes, they know\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p>This technique also works in bid\u2019niz.<\/p>\n<p>Another story:<\/p>\n<p>Many years ago I read a story from Dan Kennedy about when he was trapped on a plan for 6 hours where the airline wouldn\u2019t let anybody de-board.
