My cousin is getting married in November. He is having a huge wedding, and I am sure there will be a lot of opportunities to pick up. I have had a lot of success at previous weddings I have gone to. I think maybe girls are in the mood to be romanced, even if its a One night stand. Maybe they feel insecure and desperate, and want a man's company. Or maybe its the open bar, I don't know.

However this wedding is going to be a challenge. By coincidence, my cousin is marrying my ex girlfriend.

I dated this girl 3 years ago for 6 months. We were never really that close. I never really liked her that much. This was my first "real girlfriend" as an adult, and we had an awkward breakup. She played games with me, and lied to me several times. After she played some birth control game, I broke up with her. It was awkward, because I did it with no confidence.

Anyways, this is a close first cousin of mine. I do not feel any malice or awkwardness towards her or him. However they feel awkward around me.

Before they got together, this girl hated me because of the breakup. She sent me a few angry texts, which I never responded to, and shit talked me to a girl I went on a date with.

On the surface, this does not bother me. I couldn't care what she thinks of me, even if she is a part of my family. But I worry about her trying to sabotage me.

There will be over 400 people at this wedding, and it is a great opportunity to meet girls. It would suck if she or her friends spread rumours or whatever to ruin my chances.

As well, she shit talks me to other girls. This girl, although she is ugly, has a lot of friends largely due to parties she organizes. She has spread rumours that I am a liar and I'm immature. (Although kind of true, as an AFC, I used to lie to her to avoid plans, instead of just saying, I'm busy or I don't want to get together)

How can I neutralize this bullshit, or even use it to my advantage. Maybe I could portray her as a nutcase/liar/exaggerator

Also, any advice on wedding game would be greatly appreciated. I just turned 27, and my friends weddings are all around the corner. SUCKERS!!!

I hate the term "game." Day game and night game are in fact different, but why do you need a new "game" everytime you go somewhere different.

Yes you don't act the same in different places, but what makes you feel like it's all just a game?

Just bring positive energy to the table. That will never go wrong.
