if a girl tells me of interest in a guy i suggest to her that she go out drinking with him...if his personality changes after drinking dump him...if it doesnt, marry him. neither love nor alchohol should be able to change the core moral stability of a person, although it does take some effort to come to grips with jealousy and anger in my experience
