fandomhigh | Love Smart: Period 2, Week 3

Barney was suited up and leaning against the board while he waited for students to arrive, as one does. When he felt he had enough in the classroom to merit speaking, he began the lecture.

"The syllabus says today's topic is Courtship. And by courtship I mean getting into her pants. You know, every once in a while I like to send an e-vite to the party in my pants to all the lovely ladies...Where was I? Right! Courtship!"

"Let's take my best friend Ted for example. Ted met this chick, we'll call her Robina to protect the innocent, and proceeded to try to get in her pants via dinner and a misplaced 'I love you.' Of course, Ted failed because he made the mistake of actually thinking he was in love with Robina."

"The point is that you must pretend you care, don't actually get...what is that word? Oh right, emotionally involved." he did a little eye roll, hand wavey thing. "You're trying to start something up with a little sans pants action, not marry her as your virginal self. Learn from Ted's mistake."

"What does this mean for class? Not much since half of you are with" *eye roll* "'The One.' So instead of expanding on this topic, I want to hear things you can say or do to make your significant other think you care about them. Remember, we're pretending to care here, not actually caring."

"Also, please don't believe your email when it links you to some Dangerous Kissing Tips. They are lies, kids. All lies."

[ooc: OMG, that last bit was totally in my gmail last night and cracked me up when I clicked on it.]

"I wouldn't," Peter said, looking disgusted. "It would be dishonourable and distasteful even were it a proper thing to do."

"I don't care if you would or not," Barney reminded Not-Lily's boyfriend the fake knight. "I just want to know something that would make someone think you cared?"

"But there's no point in even discussing it," Peter told him. "For it's out of the question."
