Teach, Learn, Share

i guess there's nothing specific that i'd be able to teach as a trade but i just enjoy being myself and creating a positive energy around me no matter who i'm hanging out with. if you're a guy however, i can teach you how to approach a woman and get her phone number in about 5 minutes.
