Number of Grey Goose martinis I would need to consume to consider this guy anything but friend material: 12

Great blog AV. I like your numbers.

Ang: Looking at your picture I can't believe your weekend did not resemble AV's.

AV: I've missed out in the past on great times because I was too cautious to approach a girl. What about a post to help guys like me identify the signs that show she is interseted in more fun with you?
