Spring Break Tips For Girls and Boys
It's time to 'fess up--you're not going to Spring Break just for some R&R, are you? Here's your true goal: Hooking up. But just how to nab that hot honey downing shots of tequila or cute whipped cream contestant #4? (Hint--if they're either of the previous, it probably won't be too hard.) But just in case you're a little off your game, we've gathered some tips when it comes to scoring with the opposite sex.

Note: Some of the following are serious, some aren't. If you can't figure out which is which, then your romancing skills require more help than is available in this guide. Sorry.

1. Use pick-up lines--the cheesier, the better. Deliver them with the utmost sincerity and a winning smile. After all, if the object of your desire doesn't respond to come-ons like "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" they're obviously not someone you want to be talking to anyway.

2. Ask your friends for their opinion before you commit to the object of your affections for the evening/hour/15 minutes. Make sure they agree that he or she isn't a complete troll--the goggle effect combined with poor lighting can seriously impair your judgment.

3. Guys seeking girls, this one’s for you. Increase your odds of scoring by approaching a group of girls by yourself and hitting on the whole gang at once with an all-encompassing, flattering pick-up line (see rule #1). If you’re not comfortable addressing them as a whole (hey, we understand some people have a fear of public speaking), single out one chick at a time and hit on her individually. When the inevitable rejection occurs, move on to the next target, until you’ve gone through the entire group of gals. They’ll feel special that you took the time to get to know them on a personal basis.

4. If someone approaches you, give out a fake name, fake job, fake life story if you're not interested--or even if you are. The more outrageous, the better. See how far you can string 'em along before they call your bluff. If it turns out there is some chemistry going on, you can always come clean later.

5. Control your intake of alcohol throughout the night. Believe it or not, slurred speech, bleary eyes, and passing out cold mid-sentence just aren't attractive. Vomit isn't sexy either.

6. Go out on the prowl with friends who are uglier than you. And who don't know how to dress. You'll have plenty of competition in the club/bar already--why handicap yourself before you get in the game?
