In-School Game

To be honest, in school, there’s not much to do; you can raise your value relative to classmates by AMOGing them, build Preselection by sitting with female friends at lunch, pass notes, display intelligence, have instant-dates, and get wonderful gaming opportunities. Besides all of that, though, it's not great.

As far as talking to girls goes—school is not the best place: you have only a few minutes in between classes, maybe some time during a break or study hall, and lunch. Do not make game your priority at school; make school your priority. Seriously, pay attention in class.

Exceptions include: if some other guy starts acting up or trying to crack jokes, AMOG him; if there's a new girl, talk to her and maybe use some Transferred Kino; if you have some free time, open a set, tell some stories, and kino. In school, people yearn for fun; if you get an appropriate chance, give it to them.

Other In-School pointers include:

• Make some female friends and sit with them at lunch.
• Set up instant-dates for lunchtime if you have an open-campus lunch.
• Join an acting club or class—this will improve your social skills more than you can imagine.
• Join clubs that take you out of school: Model United Nations (perfect), Academic Team, Math Team (I was the president at my school, don’t hate), Thespian Society (this one is pure gold), Science Fair, and anything else you can.
• Do not become friends with most of the girls, only some—by keeping many of them at a distance, you not only stand out as not being interested, but you also stay out of the Friend Zone, allowing you to start afresh whenever you want.
• Use school as a commonality; number closing a classmate is unbelievably easy.
• Make male friends in each social group. You want a great number of both event invites and further friendship opportunities, so connect with all the cliques.

Beware: while gaming in school is very easy, it may lead to extremely troubling complications. Proceed with caution. I try not to game in school for the simple reason that interactions may get messy and lead to gossip—our number one enemy.
