What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to impress a girl? Oh boy, where do I start…haha. Probably the craziest is I tried to impress all of Alpha Delta Pi by trying to be their king. I danced on stage lip-synching to “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” with my shirt off and a blue diamond painted on my chest.
What’s one thing you don’t understand about the opposite sex? There general point of view on relationships. Nails too, I will never understand why they need paint on there.
What do you have to say to the single ladies reading this? “Oh come on, oh come on, what’s a boy to do, when all the pretty girls can’t measure to you.”
How can a girl capture and maintain your interest? They have to be fun and not afraid to let loose. If they love a song they should dance to it regardless of where they are. I am so turned off by mean girls who do not make sense when they speak. A girl will usually spark my interest as long as they are pretty and they are nice.
