WEDNESDAY RANT-T.N.J.T!

So it’s safe to say I run a pretty dude-oriented Blog here, but lately I’ve been hearing from a number of females; family and friends say that I need to show the ladies some love.

So here it is ladies…

T.N.J.T

Learn it, live it, love it.

So what the hell am I talking about?

TNJT is a phrase I coined about a year ago when a female friend mentioned that there was this guy who was really feeling her but she absolutely had no interest. 

When I inquired to if he had asked her out, she mentioned no, but that they just went to lunch…. once. 

When I took it a step further and asked where they went, she said the got some Thai food.

I immediately threw my hands up and exclaimed, “There ya go, should have known THAI IS NEVER JUST THAI!” 

T-N-J-T!

 Men and Women both have good friends of the opposite sex but real talk; they never start out that way… 

At one point between every good Male-Female friendship, one, if not both had some sort of attraction to the other.

It’s not always easy to read from the female side, but guys are a dead giveaway…

First of all ladies, if a guy “friend” asks you to dinner and doesn’t mention other people coming in the first place, he probably wants to be more than friends, but you never know, maybe he’s just a cool dude who feels like hanging out and his intentions are still a mystery.

All you have to do is pay attention to where he’s taking you to eat because it’s not limited to just Thai, but a number of foods. 

You see men, 22-30; have three groups of restaurants that they frequent when they step out…

Group A represents the spots they go with just their bros/large groups to watch a game, or before a night on the town; Seafood, Steakhouse, BBQ, Wings, Pizza, Mexican (everyone loves margaritas), "Bar & Grill" type fare.

Group B are the restaurants where maybe they do hit up an actual female friend for a harmless meal;  Breakfast, Café, Vegan, trendy Burger or Sandwich place where they add three to five extra bucks on everything cause it’s organic.

Group C is straight-up date territory. I am talking the heavy-hitters; Thai, French, Chinese (not take-out), Tapas, Sushi, Fondue, Korean BBQ,Indian, Ethiopian, Greek, American Contemporary Cuisine (still don’t really know what that shit means, but it is delicious). 

So why does Group C mostly consist of Ethnic restaurants? 

Easy, they’re different, and if you’re a guy taking a woman on a date, you can’t do the same old thing but you don’t want to break the bank either…unless you have it like that, and if you do, we should hang out, drinks on you right?

What I’m saying ladies, is if you find yourself at any place described in Group C, there are exceptions, but you’re more than likely on a date.

So don’t be surprised if at some point at the end of the night, he goes 90 percent in for that kiss, now if you feel like giving the other 10, is a choice all of your own (thanks Hitch).
