MUNCH: How to seduce your spring fling.

Making cookies together is a sacred act of love.

So you see a cute something something making eyes at you across the aisle of the bus and you start having all of these dirty images of the two of you comingling in someplace public and dirty. But you’ve never talked to this person and you have no idea how to cross the vast gulf of the aisle.  Luckily, you have a few cookies in your pocket. This is how you will succeed–at love and at life.  Always keep a few freshly baked cookies on hand just in case the opportunity strikes.

1. Reach across the aisle with your cookie baring hand. Look up with your chin tilted down so you give this person your most animalistic loook. This is what we call the look-deep-into-my-eyes-you-sexy-beast look. I have found that adding a sly grin to the equation will always tip the scales in your favor. Motion towards the cookie. Offer the cookie. Watch the hottie eat the cookie. Crumbs falling to the filthy bus floor. Crumbs falling on her lap. Crumbs falling everywhere.

2. Touch her crumby hand. Look deeply into her eyes.

3. Leave the bus, hand in crumby hand, cookies in mouth (note: it is important to bring excess cookies with you at all times. As long you feed her, she will be yours).

3. Take her to your kitchen, where all good things are born.  Open up a beer. Like love, it will inebriate you.

In order to get the full health benefits of the cookie, you should hold it up to your eye while swigging some organic brew.

   One day, if you are lucky, she will let you put your cookies on her eyes.

   

   Once you have consumed all of the cookies on the plate, your fling will be flung.
