Is Jordan's motto for boyfriends (as she told me on the way to school this morning).
Reduce: Reduce the boy to putty in your hand - by stalking them.
She wasn't sure on this one, but I think it would be safe to surmise here, as I have seen her MO in action. Continually approach the potential boyfriend, tell him he is so funny, cute, smart, insert any complimentary adjective here. Tell the potential boyfriend how you and he are best friends. Put yourself constantly in his path. Until he starts to believe you. Hence, you have reduced him to putty in your hands.
Reuse: Reuse an old boyfriend if necessary. If an old flame that you dumped begs you back, say no. Unless it has been a month or longer, and you do not have a new boyfriend. And he promises to do everything right this time. It goes without saying that you should dump him at any moment when a better boy comes along (or he reverts back to his old ways).
Recycle: Recycle boyfriends among your girlfriends. No more 1950's notion that a girl should never date her girlfriend's old boyfriend. Heck, when your school's girl to boy ratio is 3:1, you can never take a boy off the market!
So there it is, straight from the horse's mouth (or in this case, the teenager's mouth).

Too funny!! I especially like the idea of reduce. Just keep telling the boy that you are great friends until he believes it's true...Brilliant! I could have used this tactic when I was in school!
OMG, the girl has it down!!! She definitely inherited her tactics from her grammy---I just didn't have the slogan! And, back in the day---we used our girlfriends to help in all areas---especially the "break-up"!
Mindy? I'm sure you have a few tactics of your own to add to Jordan's approach---or maybe not since you have been on the open market yourself for awhile now! Maybe you just don't have the time.
Sandy, I do believe Greg is still putty in your hands---at least most of the time. What other guy would ask his wife what she wants him to do on a Friday night to make her happy knowing full well that means giving up football!
Love you girls!
I always knew Jordan was a smart girl!!
