I was totally in to this girl that used to come in to a pub I worked in,
One night I'm finishing my shift as her and her mates walk in, get chatting, join them for a beer, get on really well with them all, get a bit too pissed, take one of her mates home after girl of dreams leaves early, destroy all chances with girl of dreams.

Well, of you're out there girl of dreams, and you haven't gotten fat, or had your face smashed up or got some horrible burns or anything. I'm still waiting.

The only way to fix this is to tell Mrs Pig the whole story
and see if she could maybe try to look and act a bit more like the dream girl. Then it's win-win.

Oh yeah, I've done that.
Very attractive girl, pulled her guard dog at a pub. Worst possible move.

officelol at "guard dog"

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 14 Feb 2013, 10:41, Reply)

It's a delicate balance
paying more attention to the guard dog is good, you come across as sweeter and more sincere, and you get to demonstrate your winning personality, and at the end of the evening perhaps casually move a little more attention to the lady you're after.

Sadly, what usually happens is it all gets a bit hazy after two or three pints to many, you wake up next morning in an unfamiliar bed with a lead and collar on the floor and you have to gnaw one arm off to escape without waking her, and the other off to remind you not to do it again.

I'd never fall for the guard dog trap. Honest.

Well, in fairness I did once
but I then went out with her for about 9 months as in the course of the evening it became extremely obvious she was much more interesting, pleasant and funny than the original object of attention.

I've heard this once described by the motto
"If you want a shot at the master, you have to go for the hounds first."
