Coady of Conduct:I'm a sophomore at college. I was wondering if a person's behavior when they are drunk is truly representative of that person. There is a girl that I talk to a lot. However, she shows little reciprocation or interest such as phone calls or instant messages. She enjoys hangin' with her girlfriends, and when I ask her to come out with me to run errands, she refuses. However, on multiple occasions this girl has pinched me and been all over me when she is drunk. Does she like me or is it just the alcohol talking? I want a relationship with this girl, so should I make a move when she's drunk?Confused in New JerseyI have had the privilege of knowing and relating to a great many drunk people, and here is the wisdom that experience had wrought. Are you ready? People, when shitfaced, are not themselves. Indeed, they are shitfaced versions of themselves, which means, in the early stages at least, that things like caution, prudence and common sense are thrown to the wind (in the later stages, it's things like dinner and the contents of one's bladder). If she's not into you when she's sober, Jersey, that means she has reservations, she doesn't think you're right for her, in short: she's not into you. If she's into you when she's drunk, that means she's drunk.
