Summary

Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. Let's cut to it! In this episode: Can a relationship between a teetotaler and someone who enjoys the company of spirits endure? How does an immigrant high schooler make friends when they're the only representative of their homeland and none of the existing cliques seem open to new membership? How do you tell your churchgoing family and friends that you're really more spiritual than religious? What can you do to alleviate that weird face you always make when someone throws you a little too much eye contact for comfort? Is there such a thing as an appropriate way to hit on customers when you're working behind a counter?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason
0:13.3	to Philipo. Here at the Art of Charm we may not have all the answers but we certainly
0:17.2	have some of the questions. Judging by this fan mail Friday inbox, there's plenty
0:20.7	of questions coming from you all as well. I'm looking forward to answering some of these.
0:24.7	A lot of great stuff in there. Of course, one real quick announcement. If you are sending
0:28.4	email to Friday at theartofcharm.com, we get a lot of it there. I love seeing what you
0:34.7	guys are writing. If you can give us enough detail but not seven pages of detail that's
0:38.9	super helpful. And if you don't send seven reminders and seven days for me to see it,
0:43.8	that also helps because I just have to scroll up and see it. There's a lot there. I will
0:46.9	get to you if I can but if it's time sensitive, maybe not the right inbox to do it. But I love
0:51.7	here and from you Jason and I are literally up late. Well, we're drinking but we're enjoying
0:57.6	it and we decided to record. That's the level of nerd you're dealing with here. We are
1:03.0	up late drinking and we decided let's answer some fan mail. So I think we should, I mean,
1:08.0	I'm going to I'm going to pat myself on the back of that. How's that? Is that fair? Don't
1:12.4	pat yourself too hard. You might fall over. Yeah. Yeah. At this point, that is very possible.
1:17.2	All right. Let's cut to it. Hey, Jordan, I quit drinking when I was 20. Yeah, very timely
1:22.1	question. Now I'm 22. Thanks to the program of AA. My life has made many changes for the better
1:28.4	because of it. And I have become an overall happier person. I also have a wonderful girlfriend
1:33.4	of over a year now. And we are still very much in love. Now I'm not emailing you to brag. I'm just
1:39.6	setting the stage. Also, she currently lives in LA and I live in Orange County, which is about a
1:44.8	one to two hour drive from each other. And we both work. So we only see each other on the weekends.
1:50.7	While she's happy that I'm sober, it occasionally. That's ironic. That's ironic. Just keep going.
